CEN/TC 132/WG 10 - Castings

This document specifies the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test pieces for these alloys.
Annex C is included as a guide to the selection of alloys for a specific use or process.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 576, EN 1559-1, EN 1559-4, EN 1676 and EN ISO 8062-3.

This document defines the requirements for grades of alloyed aluminium ingots intended for remelting.
It specifies the classifications and designations applicable to these grades, the conditions in which they are produced, their properties and the marks by which they are identified.

This European Standard defines the requirements for grades of alloyed aluminium ingots intended for remelting.
It specifies the classifications and designations applicable to these grades, the conditions in which they are produced, their properties and the marks by which they are identified.

This European Standard specifies the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test pieces for these alloys.
Annex B is included as a guide to the selection of alloys for a specific use or process.
This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 576, EN 1559-1, EN 1559-4, EN 1676 and EN ISO 8062-3.

This part of EN 1559 specifies the additional technical conditions for delivery of aluminium alloy castings unless other technical delivery conditions have been agreed at the time of acceptance of the order. This standard denotes clauses specific to aluminium alloy castings under existing or new headings and retains the same structure and numbering system as used in EN 1559-1. It repeats the numbering of clauses and subclauses even if nothing extra or different has been added.

This standard specifies the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test bars for these alloys. As a guide to the selection of alloys for a specific use or process, annex A "Comparison of casting characteristics mechanical and other properties", is included for information only.  This standard shall be used in conjunction with the following standards :  EN 1676 Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Alloyed aluminium ingots for remelting - Specifications   EN 1559-1 Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 1 : General    prEN 1559-4 Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 4 : Additionnal requirements for aluminium alloys castings   EN ISO 8062  Castings - System of dimensional tolerances and machining allowances
