CEN/TC 132/WG 16 - Aluminium alloys for marine applications (shipbuilding, marine and offshore structure)

This European Standard specifies properties and technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloy products recommended for marine applications, including shipbuilding and offshore applications.
Additional information is given about high magnesium alloys, with special regard to their sensitivity to intergranular and exfoliation corrosion.
This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with relevant European, national or international regulations as applicable, to which it comes in support.
For products intended to be used in marine constructions to be classified by a Classification Society, the relevant requirements of this Society apply.
This European Standard covers:
-   wrought products in aluminium alloys (see Clause 6);
-   castings in aluminium alloys (see Clause 7).
Information is given in Annex A to guide the user in the selection of aluminium and aluminium alloys and tempers for various applications.
This European standard does not cover:
-   execution and design, covered by the rules of the Classification Societies or EN 1090-3 and
EN 1999-1-1 to EN 1999-1-5;
-   welding, covered by EN 1011-4.

This European Standard specifies properties and technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloy products recommended for marine applications such as shipbuilding, maritime and offshore applications.
It applies to flat rolled products (sheet, strip and plate), extruded products (rod/bar, tube and profile), cold drawn products (rod/bar and tube), forgings and castings.
This document is to be used in conjunction with relevant European, national or international regulations as applicable, to which it comes in support.
This part of this European Standard covers :
- wrought products in aluminium alloys for structural applications (see clauses 3 and 4) ;
- wrought products in aluminium and aluminium alloys for non-structural applications (see clauses 3 and 5) ;
- rivets in aluminium alloys (see clause 5) ;
- castings in aluminium alloys (see clause 6).
NOTE 1   Information is given in annex A to guide the user in the selection of aluminium and aluminium alloys and tempers for various applications, including the corrosion behaviour, the welding, riveting, machining and forming properties.
NOTE 2   Some of the products listed in the present standard can be subject to patent or patent applications, and their listing herein does not in any way imply the granting of a licence under such patent right.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licenses on standardised standard products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions, then this product shall be removed from the corresponding standard.
