23、 standards Part 1 : Guidelines for selection and use (ISO 9000-1 : 1994) 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 aluminium Metal with a minimum content of 99,0 % by mass of aluminium, provided that the content by mass of any other element does not exceed
24、 the following limits: iron + silicon contents not greater than 1,0 %; other element contents not greater than 0,10 % each, with the exception of copper which is permitted to a content of up to 0,20 % provided that neither the chromium nor the manganese content exceeds 0,05 %. NOTE. Aluminium in the
25、 liquid state or in the form of ingots for remelting is often called unalloyed aluminium. 3.2 alloy Metallic substance consisting of a mixture of the basic metallic element (the element predominating by mass) and other elements such as alloying elements and impurities. 3.3 alloying element Metallic
26、or non-metallic element intentionally added to or naturally contained by a basic metal and the amount of which is controlled within specific upper and lower limits for the purpose of giving that metal certain special properties. 3.4 impurity Metallic or non-metallic element present but which is not
27、intentionally added to a metal and for which no lower limit is specified. 4 Orders or tenders The order or tender shall define the product required and shall contain the following information: a) designation of the unalloyed aluminium or aluminium alloy, according to the relevant European Standard (
28、or the customer code after agreement between supplier and purchaser); b) form of the product (liquid metal); c) quantity: mass (in metric tonnes); quantity tolerances if required; d) any requirements for certificates of conformity, test and/or analysis reports or inspection certificates; e) any addi
29、tional requirements agreed between supplier and purchaser. 5 Requirements 5.1 Production and manufacturing processes Unless otherwise specified in the order the production and manufacturing processes shall be left to the discretion of the producer. Unless it is explicitly stated in the order, no obl
30、igation shall be placed on the producer to use the same processes for subsequent and similar orders. 5.2 Quality control The supplier shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection and tests required by the relevant European Standard and/or the particular specification, on arrival (for e
31、xample, temperature of the metal).Page 4 EN 577 : 1995 BSI 1996 5.3 Chemical composition The supplier shall supply grades with chemical composition in accordance with the relevant European Standard (EN 576 or prEN 1676). If the purchaser requires content limits for elements not specified in the stan
32、dard, these limits shall be stated on the order, after agreement between supplier and purchaser. 5.4 Transport ladles The design of liquid metal transport ladles is left to the suppliers discretion as to their shape, capacity and brickwork. Each ladle shall be numbered. The ladles shall be designed
33、so as to prevent metal leaking, even in the case of major incidents, e.g. lifting beam failure, transport accident. They shall comply with any existing regulations of the country (countries) concerned. They shall include a fastening device to secure the ladle to the truck or trailer platform. The la
34、dle output and its safety device shall be suited to the purchasers discharge method, e.g. bottom pouring discharge with or without ladle handling, tip discharge (crane or tipper), or pressure discharge. The maximum shell temperature attained shall not cause a significant reduction in the mechanical
35、properties of the ladle. 5.5 Means of transportation Details of transportation such as: suitability of transport vehicle under general traffic conditions; the position of the centre of gravity being as low as necessary for safe transportation; the vehicle being fitted with suitable fire extinguisher
36、s; the training of the driver; shall conform to the regulations and practices in force in the countries of origin, transit and destination. The procedures for acceptance, inspection and discharge shall be defined between supplier and purchaser. 5.6 Freedom from defects The liquid metal shall be reas
37、onably free from dross, inclusions or any other foreign bodies, which may affect metal quality. To this end, the supplier shall implement filling and discharge systems which are designed so as to prevent a degradation of the metal quality. He shall also establish a schedule for ladle cleaning, the f
38、requency of which shall be suited to the above mentioned requirement. 6 Product inspection and testing methods 6.1 Analysis of chemical composition Sampling procedures and analytical tests shall be carried out in accordance with quality assurance procedures (see EN ISO 9000-1). The results shall be
39、traceable to national or international standard reference materials. The capability of the analytical procedures shall be verified. The melt shall be clearly identified with a traceable heat number. The shape of the samples and the sampling conditions for chemical analysis shall be so designed that
40、they are representative of the melt being cast. Each sample shall be taken after the last metallurgical treatment of the metal before departure. Each analytical sample shall be suitably machined and, when analyzed by emission spectrometry, shall be sparked at least twice. The analysis of the sample
41、is the arithmetic mean of the sparks. Each sample shall meet the specified composition limits and the analysis of the melt is the arithmetic mean of all the samples taken from this melt. The producer shall determine and periodically check the analytical accuracy of each element analyzed. He shall be
42、 able to demonstrate the validity of the whole test procedure, including sampling, sample preparation and measurement. The analytical methods are at the discretion of the supplier who shall use methods accepted at the European or international levels. 6.2 Chemical composition If not otherwise specif
43、ied in the order, the composition shall comply with the same standard limits as described in the European Standards for unalloyed aluminium or alloyed aluminium ingots (see EN 576 and prEN 1676). The writing rules for designations and chemical composition, as given in prEN 1780-1, prEN 1780-2 and pr
44、EN 1780-3 shall be applied. 7 Inspection documents By agreement between supplier and purchaser or when specified on the order, the consignment shall be accompanied by a certificate listing the results of the analysis of the chemical elements and any other requirement which may have been requested in
45、 advance. 8 Delivery documents Unless otherwise indicated on the order, the delivery documents shall contain at least the following information: a) the supplier identification; b) the grade of aluminium or aluminium alloy; c) the results of chemical analysis in the same sequence as given in the rele
46、vant standard; d) the ladle numbers and relevant melt numbers.BS EN 577 : 1996 BSI 1996 List of references See national foreword.BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
