3.1
casting
product at or near finished shape, formed by solidification of the metal in a mould or a die

durable material, typically iron or steel, and allowing it to solidify
Note 1 to entry: Permanent mould casting where the metal solidifies in a metal mould under low pressure
(typically less than 1 bar above atmospheric pressure) is also referred to as “low pressure die casting”.
Note 2 to entry: Permanent mould casting, which is made using an expendable core such as sand, is often
(mainly in the USA) termed “semi-permanent mould casting”.
[SOURCE: EN 12258-1:2012, 2.5.3]
3.4
low pressure die casting
process in which molten metal is poured into a metal mould and solidified under low pressure
(typically 7 kPa above atmospheric pressure)
Note 1 to entry: This process can also be used with a sand mould, being called “low pressure sand casting”.
3.5
high pressure die casting
process in which molten metal is poured into a permanent metal mould and solidified under high
pressure (typically 7 MPa)
3.6
investment casting
precision casting formed by a three step process comprising:
a) fabrication of a ceramic mould around a wax or thermoplastic pattern with a refractory slurry that
sets at room temperature;
b) removal of the pattern through the use of heat;
c) pouring of metal into this mould and allowing it to solidify.

The chemical symbol based designation system shall be in accordance with EN 1780-2.
For unalloyed grades, the designation shall be in accordance with EN 576.
5.3 Temper designations
The following abbreviations shall be used as temper designations for the conditions of heat treatment,
referred in Tables 2, 3 and 4 and Table A.1:
— F as cast;
— O annealed;
— T1 controlled cooling from casting and naturally aged;
— T4 solution heat treated and naturally aged where applicable;
— T5 controlled cooling from casting and artificially aged or over-aged;
— T6 solution heat treated and fully artificially aged;
— T64 solution heat treated and artificially under-aged;
— T7 solution heat treated and artificially over-aged (stabilized).
NOTE For aluminium alloy castings, solution heat treatment involves quenching from elevated temperatures
and distortion can occur.
5.4 Casting process designations
The following abbreviations shall be used as designations for the different casting processes:
— S sand casting;
— K chill or permanent mould casting;
— D high pressure die casting;
— L investment casting.
5.5 Designations to be included in drawings
The complete designation of the casting shall be included in the drawings being part of the order
information. This designation includes:
— the number of this document;
— the alloy designation;
— the casting process designation;
— the temper designation.
EXAMPLE EN 1706 AC-42000-K-T6 is the complete designation of the alloy EN AC-42000, chill cast, solution
heat treated and fully artificially aged.
6 Chemical composition
6.1 General
Chemical composition shall be expressed in accordance with the writing rules given in EN 1780-3. The
chemical composition of aluminium castings shall be in conformity with the limits specified in Table 1.
NOTE Table 1 also includes the chemical compositions of ingots used to produce castings. These are shown in
brackets where they differ from the casting limits and are taken from EN 1676.
The chemical analysis of elements for which specific limits are given in Table 1 shall be carried out. By
agreement between supplier and purchaser other elements may be determined. This particularly
applies to modifying or refining elements such as sodium, strontium, antimony and phosphorus.
Alloying elements and impurities shall be expressed in the following sequence: silicon, iron, copper,
manganese, magnesium, chromium, nickel, zinc, lead, tin, titanium, other elements each/total,
aluminium.
Additional specified elements with specific limits shall be inserted, in alphabetical order with respect to
their chemical symbols after titanium, or be specified in footnotes.
6.2 Samples for chemical analysis
When a chemical analysis is carried out by spark emission spectrometry, samples shall be taken from
the melt at the time the castings are made and shall be cast into a metallic die.
If chemical analysis by emission spectrometry is carried out on a casting, it is recommended that a part
of the casting is remelted and cast into a metallic die to minimize the unavoidable segregation effect.
The content of certain elements such as sodium, strontium and magnesium, is normally reduced by the
remelting, and chemical analysis of such elements should be made directly on the casting.
For sampling the use of EN 14361 is recommended. For chemical analysis the use of EN 14242 and
EN 14726 is recommended.

NOTE 1 Figures in brackets are ingot compositions (prefix EN AB instead of EN AC) where they differ from the casting. See EN 1676 for information.
NOTE 2 Limits are expressed as a maximum unless shown as a range.
a
“Others” does not include modifying or refining elements such as Na, Sr, Sb and P.
b
For alloys with Mg ≥ 3 %, the alloy may contain a maximum Be content of 0,005 % which is not considered as an impurity.
c
Sr addition is recommended.
d
These grades of unalloyed aluminium are specified in EN 576, and included in this document due to its importance for electrotechnical applications.
e
B max. 0,04 %; Mn + Ti + Cr + V max. 0,030 %.
f
B max. 0,04 %; Mn + Ti + Cr + V max. 0,020 %.
g
“Others” includes all the elements which are not listed in this table or without specific values.
h
Refining agents such as Ti, B or master alloys containing nucleating particles such as TiB shall not be considered as impurities. Nevertheless, the minimum and maximum
content of refining elements should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
i
These alloys are in compliance with EN 601 (for information only).
j
Minimum Ti limits are not required if the grain refining is not required or reached by other means.
k
If corrosion resistance is less important or not required, a maximum Cu content of 0,10 % is allowed.
l
When intentionally modifying the alloy by adding strontium, sodium and/or antimony, a patent might be violated.
m
European Regulations and Directives need to be taken into account. See [7] to [10] for information.

7 Mechanical properties
7.1 General
The minimum mechanical properties for separately cast test pieces for sand cast, chill cast, investment
cast, low pressure die cast and pressure die cast processes shall be in accordance with Tables 2, 3 and 4.
For each alloy, mechanical properties are only specified for the commonly used methods of casting and
for commonly used tempers. For other processes and tempers, characteristics shall be agreed between
supplier and purchaser.
NOTE 1 The mechanical properties of high pressure die castings are very dependent on injection parameters
and the properties in Table A.1 are for guidance only.
NOTE 2 For F temper, the values specified in Tables 2, 3 and 4 can be eventually obtained only after holding a
few days at room temperature.
