This standard is part of a set of four standards. The other standards deal with: EN573-1, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Chemical composition and form
19、of wrought products Part1: Numerical designation system. EN573-3, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Chemical composition and form of wrought products Part3: Chemical composition.

It is a descriptive code based primarily on chemical symbols. The designations in accordance with
24、 this Part ofEN573 are intended primarily as a supplement to the four figure designation described in EN573-1. This standard applies to wrought products and to ingots intended to be wrought. It is not applicable to: ingots for remelting; castings; composite products, i.e. those containing, in additi
25、on to aluminium and its alloys, other metallic or non-metallic materials; products of powder metallurgy. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in th
26、e text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to a

28、 alloys Chemical composition and forms of products Part1: Chemical composition. 3 Basis of coding 3.1 The designations of aluminium and aluminium alloys are based on the chemical symbols, usually followed by numbers indicating the purity of aluminium or nominal content of the considered element. 3.2
29、 The chemical symbols used are those of the international nomenclature (seeannexA). 3.3 The numbers or figures indicating the purity of aluminium, or the nominal content of the considered element, are based on the chemical composition limits given in EN573-3. 3.4 Normally all designations complying
30、with this coding shall be put within square brackets, following the four figure designation. If, exceptionally, only the chemical symbol based designation is used, then it shall have the prefix EN, followed by a blank, then the letter A representing aluminium and the letter W identifying wrought pro
31、ducts (and ingots to be wrought). The letter W shall be separated from the following designation by a hyphen. 3.5 The designations currently in use and the corresponding chemical composition limits are specified in EN573-3. 3.6 Assignments or revisions of designations shall be approved by Technical
32、Committee CEN/TC132. 3.7 In order to ensure consistency with other national and international standards, and in particular with ISO209-1:1989 whose code of designation is based on the same principles: where the composition of an alloy is strictly identical to the composition of an alloy registered b
33、y ISO, the ISO designation shall be used; where the composition of an alloy does not correspond to the composition of any alloy inISO209-1:1989, CEN/TC132 will create a new designation for this alloy, and keep ISO/TC79 informed. 4 Rules for the coded designation of wrought unalloyed aluminium Design
34、ations for unalloyed aluminium for working shall consist of the international chemical symbol of the metal (Al) followed by the percentage purity expressed to one or more decimal places, as necessary. The symbol Al is separated by a blank space from the percentage purity. Examples: Normal use: EN AW
35、-5052 or EN AW-5052 Al Mg2,5 Exceptional use: EN AW-Al Mg2,5 Examples: EN AW-1199 Al99,99 EN AW-1070A Al99,7EN 573-2:1994 4 BSI 12-1998 If an element is added to unalloyed aluminium at a low content, the symbol corresponding to this element shall be added without a space after the percentage purity.
36、 5 Rules for the coded designation of wrought aluminium alloys 5.1 Basic principles 5.1.1 An alloy is designated by Al, followed by the symbols of the main alloying element or elements. These symbols are usually followed by numbers which express the mass percent contents of the considered elements,
37、in compliance with the rules shown in5.2. The symbol Al is separated by a blank space from the remainder of the designation. 5.1.2 Where several alloying elements are deemed to be required in the designation, they are arranged in order of decreasing nominal contents. 5.1.3 If these contents are equa
38、l, the alloying elements are arranged in alphabetical order of the symbols. 5.1.4 The chemical symbols for alloying elements shall be restricted to four elements. 5.2 Rules for distinguishing between two alloys of similar compositions 5.2.1 Care shall be taken to use the simplest possible designatio
39、n. In the case of alloys with similar compositions, additional designations shall be used for distinguishing between alloys. They are given, in decreasing priority, in5.2.2 to5.2.4. 5.2.2 The primary alloying element shall be distinguished by the nominal content (middle of the range) rounded to the
40、nearest integer or, if necessary, to the nearest5/10, or for contents less than1%, to the nearest1/10. 5.2.3 The secondary alloying elements are distinguished by the nominal content (middle of the range) rounded to the nearest integer of, if necessary, to the nearest5/10, or, for contents less than
41、1%, to the nearest1/10. 5.2.4 If the above provisions are not sufficient for differentiating between several alloys, a suffix shall be used: (A), (B), (C), etc, according to the date of submission to CEN; the first alloy submitted has no suffix. This suffix shall be placed in parentheses to avoid co
42、nfusion with the chemical symbols. 6 Special use of grades of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys This practice shall be restricted as far as possible. It shall be limited to the case where the considered application requires specific chemical composition limits for at least one element. A letter
43、 introducing the chemical composition can then be used. The letter E has been allocated to electrical applications. 7 Alloys produced from high purity aluminium In certain alloys, the base metal is of high purity, for example Al 99,85%. It is then necessary to give the specified high content in full
44、. This content is given to two decimal places; the alloying elements are then given as set out above.
