Overview
EN 683-2:2024 is a European standard developed by CEN specifying the mechanical properties of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy finstock. This document replaces the previous EN 683-2:2006 version and aligns with modern testing procedures and product specifications. It defines key mechanical characteristics such as yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation for various aluminium alloys and tempers, primarily used in heat exchanger applications. The chemical composition limits adhere to EN 573-3, and temper designations follow EN 515.
This standard is critical for manufacturers, suppliers, and purchasers involved with aluminium finstock products, ensuring consistent quality, performance, and safety across Europe and beyond.
Key Topics
Scope of Mechanical Properties
EN 683-2:2024 outlines the mechanical limits for aluminium finstock in different tempers including H14, H16, H18, H19, O, H22, and H24. Specified properties include:- Yield strength (Rp0.2)
- Tensile strength (Rm)
- Elongation at fracture (A or n)
These are detailed for various alloys such as EN AW-1050A, EN AW-1100, EN AW-3003, EN AW-6063, and newly included EN AW-5052.
