Aluminij in aluminijeve zlitine - Prevlečena ali premazana pločevina in trakovi za splošno uporabo - Specifikacije

Ta evropski standard določa posamezne zahteve za gneteni aluminij in zlitine iz gnetenega aluminija v obliki prevlečene ali premazane pločevine in trakov za splošno uporabo. Izdelek je običajno dobavljiv z debelino do 3,0 mm.
Uporablja se za hladno valjani aluminij in trakove iz aluminijeve zlitine, prevlečene s procesom navijanja, pri katerem se uporabljajo tako tekočine kot barve v prahu, in sicer naknadno na končni dolžini ali zarezi, ali za plošče, pridobljene iz takšnih trakov.
Ne uporablja se za prevlečeno ali premazano pločevino in trakove, ki se uporabljajo za posebne namene, na primer za pločevinke, zapirala in pokrove, obravnavane v ločenem standardu EN 541.

Introduction
Organic coated aluminium and aluminium alloy strip and sheet products can be used to advantage in
cases where corrosion resistance and decorative appearance are of primary importance. They have
applications throughout the flat products processing industry e.g. in the building, automotive, caravans,
appliances, fabricating and packaging industries.
Organic coated aluminium and aluminium alloy flat products can be delivered in numerous types and
grades, depending on the base material used (various grades of aluminium), on the coating material and
types of coating and on the requirements for the surface appearance and the formability.
The properties of the products can vary within greater or smaller limits depending on the choice and
combination of properties required. It is therefore not practicable to specify in detail minimum
requirements for all properties for all types of products.
As a general rule, material specifications are agreed between manufacturer and user/purchaser using,
when appropriate, the guidelines from Annex C.
Guidelines for proper storage and subsequent processing of organic coated aluminium and aluminium
alloy flat products are given in Annex D.
