25、5 b) the designation of the aluminium or aluminium alloy according to EN 573-1 and EN 573-2 (or the purchaser alloy designation after agreement between supplier and purchaser). Tighter limits than the composition limits stated in EN 573-3 may be specified as required; c) whether as cast or homogeniz
26、ed; the word “homogenized“ can be replaced by the abbreviation “HO“. Other abbreviations shall be agreed between the supplier and the purchaser; d) the number of this European standard; e) the nominal dimensions of the product (i.e. diameter and length) expressed in millimetres. For hollow ingots an
27、d ingots other than round, dimensions and tolerances shall be given with reference to a drawing; f) quantity: 1) mass (in metric tonnes); 2) quantity tolerances if required; g) any requirements for inspection documents (see Clause 7); h) any additional requirements agreed between supplier and purcha
28、ser. 5 Requirements 5.1 Production and manufacturing processes If no special requirement has been agreed between supplier and purchaser, the manufacturing process, including homogenizing, is the manufacturers responsibility. In the case of special requirements, it is recommended that trial quantitie
29、s be produced to confirm that requirements are met. It is also recommended that the purchaser asks the manufacturer to advise of any significant change in the manufacturing processes which may affect the quality of the final product. It is recommended that a quality assurance system be implemented a
30、s described in EN ISO 9000 and EN ISO 9004. 5.2 Chemical composition The chemical composition of the ingots shall conform to the compositions specified in EN 573-3. It should preferably conform to the numerical designation. 5.3 Surface and internal quality Extrusion ingots shall: a) be free of casti
31、ng surface defects, handling marks, oil, dirt and corrosion; b) be free of inclusions, porosity and cracks; c) have a suitable metallurgical structure; to a standard suitable for extrusion and subsequent processing. Unless otherwise agreed between purchaser and supplier, the grain size is not guaran
32、teed. DIN EN 486:2009-11 EN 486:2009 (E) 6 5.4 Tolerances on dimensions 5.4.1 Diameter (round ingots) The measurements shall be taken at the two sawn ends, on two diameters 90 apart. The tolerance on the nominal diameter is: a) 02mm for ingot diameters not larger than 200 mm; b) 03mm for ingot diame
33、ters larger than 200 mm and not larger than 400 mm; c) 04mm for ingot diameters larger than or equal to 400 mm. 5.4.2 Length The length is measured overall after sawing. The tolerance is: a) 3 mm for ingot lengths not longer than 1 200 mm; b) 15 mm for ingot lengths longer than 1 200 mm. 5.4.3 Squar
34、eness Sawn ends of extrusion ingots shall be square to 0,5. 5.4.4 Straightness The deflection, measured as arrow height on the centre of the curvature side, shall be less than 3 mm per metre with a maximum of 15 mm over the full length of the ingot. 5.4.5 Other dimensions For hollow ingots and ingot
35、s other than round, tolerances shall comply with the specifications in the order. 6 Test procedures 6.1 Analysis of chemical composition The analytical samples shall be taken at the discretion of the manufacturer who shall use methods accepted at European level, EN 14242 and EN 14726, or at Internat
36、ional level. The analytical samples shall be taken during the cast, from the metal distribution system, after the grain refiner addition (if any). The analytical samples shall be suitably machined and when analysed by emission spectrometry, shall be subject to at least two determinations. The sample
37、 result is the arithmetic mean of the determinations. DIN EN 486:2009-11 EN 486:2009 (E) 7 The final result is the arithmetic mean of the results of the taken samples. For cast acceptance, each sample shall meet the specified composition limits. The manufacturer shall use analytical methods standard
38、ized at European or International level. The choice of appropriate methods is at the discretion of the manufacturer. 6.2 Homogenizing treatment The homogenizing treatment is generally required. The manufacturer shall take suitable measures to guarantee the quality and reproducibility of homogenizing
39、, especially by: a) periodic inspection and testing of the treated metal; b) periodic checks of the actual temperature of the ingots during treatment; c) adoption of procedures to achieve satisfactory reproducibility of the treatment. The homogenizing treatment shall be closely monitored by the manu
40、facturers quality control system. 6.3 Other tests If required, other tests should be specified in the order after agreement between supplier and purchaser. 7 Inspection documents 7.1 Certificate of mass and analysis The supplier shall provide with each delivery a certificate of mass and analysis, wh
41、ich shall contain the following information: a) the name and address of the supplying company and the name of the manufacturing plant; b) the name and address of the purchaser; c) the description of the product as described in 4a), 4b), 4c) and 4e); d) the cast numbers, the number of extrusion ingot
42、s of each cast and, for each cast, the actual analysis of the elements (silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, zinc, titanium and other elements specified in EN 573-3 or required in the order) in the sequence given in EN 573-3; NOTE Horizontal casting of extrusion ingot may comprise
43、several heats per cast. In this case, the above information should be supplied for each heat. e) the total delivered net mass. 7.2 Inspection certificate Unless otherwise indicated in the order, the supplier shall deliver an inspection certificate 3.1 according to EN 10204 with at least the result o
44、f chemical analysis. DIN EN 486:2009-11 EN 486:2009 (E) 8 Each extrusion ingot shall be marked with at least the following: a) cast number; b) designation of the aluminium or the aluminium alloy as per the order; c) manufacturer identification (e.g. logo, brand name); d) HO or any other agreed abbre
45、viation if the ingot is homogenized. Labelling of each bundle shall be undertaken when agreed upon between supplier and purchaser. 9 Packaging, transport and storage Extrusion ingots shall be packaged in bundles suitable for safe forklift truck handling. Specific packaging requirements may be agreed
46、 between the purchaser and the supplier and shall be included in the order. Transport and storage conditions shall maintain the extrusion ingots in a condition suitable for extrusion without the necessity of further operations. 10 Complaints External and internal defects can give rise to complaints
47、if they affect the processing or the end use of the ingot. The purchaser shall allow the supplier to check the grounds for complaint. For example, he shall present him with the following: a) a piece of faulty ingot, with its complete identification, and/or; b) a specimen of the finished product, or
48、in an intermediate state, obtained from the faulty metal, with all the details allowing identification, and/or; c) justification of the defect in the ingot or finished product, and/or; d) details of conditions of processing and inspection in the intermediate stages. The dispute may entail the servic
49、es of a referee laboratory to perform examination and tests. The supplier and purchaser shall agree on the laboratory and the examination and tests methods employed.
