EN 16914:2017 - Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Hot-rolled armour plates in weldable aluminium alloy - Technical delivery conditions

Overview - EN 16914:2017 (CEN)

EN 16914:2017, published by CEN, defines the technical delivery conditions for hot‑rolled armour plates manufactured from weldable aluminium alloys. It applies to plates with a nominal thickness between 10 mm and 70 mm (thicknesses below 10 mm are covered by other specifications). The standard covers material designation, chemical and mechanical requirements, inspection and testing, dimensional tolerances, and marking/packaging for aluminium armour plates used where weldability and ballistic performance are important.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and designation
    • Two product categories: ARAL1 (EN AW‑7020 type chemistry) and ARAL2 (EN AW‑5083 type chemistry). Temper for ARAL2 (e.g., H13x) is specified per order.
  • Chemical composition
    • Composition limits for ARAL1 and ARAL2 are given (see Tables 2 and 3 in the standard). Chemical analysis methods are described or agreed per EN 485‑1.
  • Mechanical characteristics
    • Tensile properties at +20 °C are specified:
      • ARAL1: Rm ~360–440 MPa; Rp0.2 ~310–390 MPa; elongation A ≥ 10%
      • ARAL2: Rm ~315–400 MPa; Rp0.2 ~245–360 MPa; elongation A ≥ 9%
    • Tensile testing in both longitudinal and transverse directions required.
  • Stress corrosion
    • For ARAL1 plates > 20 mm intended for welded structures, a stress‑corrosion test per Annex A is required.
  • Ballistic performance
    • Ballistic acceptance testing is mandatory unless otherwise specified; references for ballistic methods appear in the standard’s bibliography or are to be agreed between purchaser and supplier.
  • Surface, edges and defects
    • Surface quality per EN 485‑1. Edges must be free from delamination harmful to welding; absence of lamination is checked up to 100 mm from edges.
  • Dimensional tolerances
    • Thickness tolerances are defined in Clause 6.2.1; width, length and flatness tolerances follow EN 485‑3 unless otherwise agreed.
  • Inspection and documentation
    • Requirements for sampling, inspection lots, tests (including ballistic testing), inspection certificates (EN 10204) and quality management (EN ISO 9001 recommended) are included.

Applications and users

  • Typical users:
    • Defence and security equipment manufacturers, vehicle and naval architects, armour plate fabricators, weld engineers, procurement/specification engineers.
  • Typical applications:
    • Structural and ballistic armour components where weldability, controlled mechanical strength and verified ballistic performance are required (vehicle armour, protective enclosures, naval panels).

Related standards

  • EN 485‑1 (inspection/delivery for sheet/plate)
  • EN 485‑3 (tolerances for hot‑rolled products)
  • EN 10204 (inspection documents)
  • EN ISO 6892‑1 (tensile testing)
  • EN 515 (tempers) - as applicable or agreed between parties

For procurement and compliance, purchasers must specify alloy designation, temper (for ARAL2), nominal dimensions, rolling direction, inspection requirements and the applicable ballistic test standard when ordering under EN 16914:2017.
