26、eries. The foil can be coloured/printed, and is usually supplied lubricated for press forming into smooth or wrinkled walled containers for foodstuffs and the like EN 546-1:2006 (E) 5 4 Ordering information The order shall specify the product required and shall contain the following information : a)
27、 description of the product: type of converting and intended use; alloy designation; form of the product, i.e. single-rolled or double-rolled; b) temper designation of the material to be delivered as defined in EN 515; c) number of this European Standard EN 546-1, or separate specification, if any;
28、d) dimensions of the product: thickness; width and type of specified tolerance on width as defined in EN 546-3 (symmetrical, only plus, only minus); internal and external diameter of the coil/reel; core size and type; e) quantity (mass); f) type of lubrication, if specific; g) any special requiremen
29、ts agreed between purchaser and supplier, e.g: test certificates and inspection reports; marking of the products, e.g. identification, flagging of joints, etc; reference to drawings, e.g. for packaging, cores, etc; wettability; bright or matt outer surface of coil/reel (if double rolled). If special
30、 requirements are specified, the application shall be stated. 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 supplier. Unless it is explicitly stated in the order, no
31、 obligation shall be placed on the supplier to use the same process for subsequent and similar orders. EN 546-1:2006 (E) 6 5.2 Quality control The manufacturer shall establish and maintain a quality management system, which should be at least equivalent to EN ISO 9001. The manufacturer shall establi
32、sh and maintain inspection plans defining all inspections and tests to be performed on the product to fulfil the requirements of this standard and any other requirement agreed according to Clause 6 of the present standard, their frequency and the type of record to be established. The inspection plan
33、 shall specify for each inspection or test whether it is to be performed per cast, per heat treatment batch, per inspection lot as defined in EN 12258-1 or per any other lot of importance. The inspection plan shall conform as a minimum to the test procedures and test requirements stipulated in this
34、standard. The inspection plan shall include additional schemes for appropriate process control. If required the inspection plan shall be submitted to the purchaser for approval before start of production. The manufacturer shall be responsible for carrying out all inspections and tests required by th
35、is standard, prior to the shipment of the product. If the purchaser wishes to inspect the product at the manufacturers site of production, he shall stipulate this at the time of placing the order. The extent of inspections shall be in accordance with Clause 6 of the present standard. Unless explicit
36、ly stated quality controls and inspections shall be performed on inspection lots. Products included in one inspection lot shall be manufactured in the same production unit. 5.3 Chemical composition The chemical composition shall be in conformity with the requirements specified in EN 573-3. 5.4 Mecha
37、nical properties The mechanical properties shall be in conformity with EN 546-2. 5.5 Freedom from defects The product shall be free from defects prejudicial to its suitable and proper use. 5.6 Tolerances on dimensions The tolerances on dimensions shall be in conformity with EN 546-3. 5.7 Special pro
38、perties Special property requirements shall be agreed between purchaser and supplier. 6 Test procedure 6.1 Sampling 6.1.1 Samples for chemical analysis Sampling shall be carried out at the time of casting according to EN 14361. The average content of each sample shall be within the specification for
39、 the chemical composition. NOTE EN 14361 includes criteria how to determine number, volume and shape of samples, about time and location of sampling and about the design and maintenance of the tools, in order to make sure that the average chemical composition of the sample is representative of the a
40、verage chemical composition of the whole melt. EN 546-1:2006 (E) 7 6.1.2 Specimens for mechanical testing 6.1.2.1 Location and size Specimens shall be taken from samples in such a way that it is possible to orientate the test pieces in relation to the product, as specified in 6.1.2.2. The specimens
41、shall be large enough to allow manufacture of the test pieces necessary to carry out the required tests and shall include sufficient metal to allow manufacture of test pieces for any retests required. 6.1.2.2 Orientation Specimens shall be taken in such a manner that the test pieces can be prepared
42、in the longitudinal direction. 6.1.2.3 Identification Each specimen shall be identified in such a way that after removal, it is still possible to identify the product from which it was taken and its location and orientation. If during the course of subsequent operations removal of the markings canno
43、t be avoided, new markings shall be made before the originals are removed. 6.1.2.4 Preparation Specimens shall be taken from the sample after completion of all the mechanical and heat treatment operations that the product has to undergo before delivery and which can influence the mechanical properti
44、es of the metal. In cases where this is not possible, the sample or specimens may be taken at an earlier stage, but they shall be subjected to the same treatment as that to which it is intended to submit the product concerned. Cutting shall be carried out in such a manner that it does not change the
45、 characteristics of the part of the specimen from which the test pieces are to be prepared. Thus, the dimensions of the specimens shall provide an adequate allowance to permit removal of the zone affected by cutting. Specimens shall not be treated in any way that alters their mechanical properties.
46、6.1.2.5 Number The number of specimens taken shall be sufficient to provide statistical evidence of long-term product conformity to the relevant properties specified in EN 546-2. When specific testing has been agreed between purchaser and supplier, the sampling frequency shall be increased to one sp
47、ecimen from each inspection lot of 10 000 kg or part thereof. For single coils weighing more than 10 000 kg each, only one specimen per coil shall be taken. 6.1.3 Test pieces for tensile test 6.1.3.1 Identification Each test piece shall be marked in such a manner that it is possible to identify the
48、inspection lot from which it was taken and, if required, its location and orientation in the product. If a test piece is identified by stamping, this shall not be in a place or manner which can interfere with subsequent testing. Where it is not convenient to mark a test piece, an identification tag
49、may be attached. 6.1.3.2 Number One test piece shall be taken from each specimen. EN 546-1:2006 (E) 8 6.1.3.3 Type Flat test pieces shall be used for all thicknesses covered by EN 546-2. The test piece shall be prepared so that both surfaces are included undisturbed. 6.1.4 Other tests For any other tests the procedures shall be as specified in EN 546-4. 6.2 Methods of testing 6.2.1 Analysis of chemical composition The ranges of application and the accuracy of the test procedure used shall be valid
