Overview

EN 2076-2:1989 is a CEN aerospace series technical specification that defines the particular requirements for aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots intended for remelting. The standard applies to ingots used as feedstock for the manufacture of castings and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 2076-1. It supports consistency in material quality, identification and supply for aerospace and other high-reliability casting applications.

Key Topics

The standard focuses on practical requirements that ensure ingots are suitable for remelting and subsequent casting manufacture. Core topics include:

  • Scope and applicability: aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots intended for remelting into castings within aerospace supply chains.
  • Material identification: labelling and documentation to support alloy traceability and correct use in production.
  • Acceptance and inspection: criteria and procedures for verifying conformity of ingots on delivery.
  • Handling, packaging and marking: recommendations to preserve ingot integrity during transport and storage.
  • Quality assurance: requirements to support reproducible remelting and casting quality, including documentation and supplier responsibilities.

Keywords: aluminium ingots, magnesium alloy ingots, remelting, castings, aerospace standard, EN 2076-2:1989, CEN.

Applications

EN 2076-2:1989 is targeted at organizations involved in the supply chain from raw ingot producers to foundries and OEMs that manufacture castings for aerospace and related industries. Typical applications and benefits include:

  • Enabling foundries to select appropriate ingot feedstock for remelting and casting processes.
  • Supporting procurement and supplier qualification through clear acceptance criteria and documentation requirements.
  • Improving traceability of alloy batches to meet aerospace quality and regulatory expectations.
  • Reducing risk of casting defects by specifying handling, marking and delivery conditions that help preserve ingot quality prior to remelting.

This specification is particularly useful for materials engineers, procurement specialists, quality managers and foundry technicians who need standardized criteria for aluminium and magnesium ingots used in casting manufacture.

Related Standards

  • EN 2076-1 - to be used in conjunction with EN 2076-2 (provides the complementary or general requirements for the aerospace series).
  • National implementations/adoptions (example): SIST EN 2076-2:2001 - national adoption of EN 2076-2 within Slovenia.

For sourcing and compliance, consult the official CEN publication of EN 2076-2:1989 and any national transpositions or updates. Using this part together with EN 2076-1 ensures a complete specification framework for aluminium and magnesium ingots intended for remelting and casting manufacture.
