Overview

EN 2726:2018 is a CEN (European) aerospace material standard that specifies requirements for Aluminium alloy AL‑C42201 in the T6 condition for sand castings with a maximum section thickness of a ≤ 20 mm. Intended for aerospace applications, the standard defines chemical identity (corresponding to ISO AlSi7Mg0,6 and similar to AA‑357.0), heat treatment, typical mechanical characteristics, inspection points and production guidance for pre‑production and production castings.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Material and form: Aluminium alloy AL‑C42201, sand castings, maximum nominal thickness a ≤ 20 mm. Delivery condition: T6.
  • Chemical identity: Corresponds to ISO AlSi7Mg0,6 (similar to Aluminium‑Association alloy 357.0). Specific compositional limits are given in the standard.
  • Heat treatment (T6): Typical solution treatment and ageing parameters are specified - solution temperature 525 °C to 550 °C, hold time 6 h to 24 h, and quench (water quench to ≤ 70 °C). The manufacturer may alternatively use a polymer quench to ≤ 30 °C unless purchaser specifies otherwise.
  • Mechanical characteristics: The standard lists typical tensile and proof stress targets and low ductility expectations for this thin sand‑cast, T6 material (illustrative minima for proof stress and tensile strength are provided in the standard; note that values may vary regionally within castings and drawing‑specified requirements take precedence).
  • Hardness: Typical hardness around HB 85 is noted.
  • Inspection and testing: References to inspection, dimensional checks, marking and acceptance criteria are cross‑referenced to EN 2076‑3 (technical specification for pre‑production and production castings). The standard also points to requirements for external/internal defects and batch uniformity as per EN 2076‑3.

Applications and who uses this standard

  • Aerospace casting designers and engineers specifying aluminium cast components where thin section sand castings (≤ 20 mm) are required.
  • Foundries and heat‑treatment shops producing T6 sand castings to an aerospace specification.
  • Quality, procurement and certification teams verifying material compliance, incoming inspection and supplier qualification.
  • Typical applications include small, thin‑walled structural and non‑structural aerospace cast parts where the combination of AlSi7Mg chemistry and T6 treatment is appropriate.

Related standards

  • EN 2076‑3 - Aerospace series: aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings - Part 3: Pre‑production and production castings (referred for technical specification, inspection and testing).
  • EN 4258 - Organization of aerospace metallic material standards.
  • EN 4500‑2 - Rules for drafting aluminium/magnesium material standards.

EN 2726:2018 is a practical reference for compliance, procurement and process control when using AL‑C42201 (AlSi7Mg0,6) T6 sand castings in aerospace components.
