Overview

EN 573-3:2019/FprA1 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) under Technical Committee CEN/TC 132. This document specifies the chemical composition limits and form of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys products. The standard aligns closely with the Aluminium Association’s registered compositions, ensuring global consistency in aluminium alloy specifications.

This amendment amendment provides updated chemical composition tables for various aluminium alloy series and details the forms in which wrought products are provided. It serves as a vital reference for manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers involved in aluminium product design, production, and quality control.

Key Topics

• Chemical Composition Limits
  Defines precise elemental limits for key alloying elements such as Silicon (Si), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), Titanium (Ti), Gallium (Ga), and Vanadium (V) across different alloy series:

  • 2xxx series - Al-Cu alloys (e.g., EN AW-2033, EN AW-2077)
  • 4xxx series - Al-Si alloys (e.g., EN AW-4025)
  • 6xxx series - Al-MgSi alloys (e.g., EN AW-6061)

• Alloy Series Modifications
  Updates and adds important alloys to respective tables including chemical makeup and form designations to address evolving industry needs.

• Form of Wrought Products
  Specifies available product forms such as forgings, wire, drawing stock, sheets, can stock, extrusions, foil, tubes, and welding stock, aligned with the chemical composition classifications.

• Equivalence to Aluminium Association Standards
  Confirms that the chemical compositions are identical to those registered by the Aluminium Association (USA), facilitating global trade and interoperability.

Applications

EN 573-3:2019/FprA1 is essential in various practical contexts within the aluminium industry:

• Manufacturing and Quality Control
  Enables consistency in producing aluminium wrought products by ensuring chemical composition compliance for specific alloys.

• Material Specification and Procurement
  Assists buyers and engineers in specifying aluminium alloys with precise chemical limits for construction, automotive, aerospace, packaging, and electrical industries.

• Product Design and Engineering
  Supports designers in selecting alloys with tailored properties-such as strength, corrosion resistance, or machinability-based on standardized composition formulas.

• Regulatory and Certification Processes
  Facilitates harmonized certification and conformity assessment processes across European and international markets by providing clear compositional criteria.

• Research and Development
  Acts as a foundation reference for developing new aluminium alloys or refining existing alloys with defined chemical parameters.

Related Standards

• EN 573-1 & EN 573-2 - These parts cover general information and mechanical properties of aluminium and aluminium alloys, complementing the chemical composition focus of EN 573-3.

• Aluminium Association Specifications - As EN 573-3 chemical limits match those registered by this US organization, cross-referencing ensures global standardization.

• CEN/TC 132 Standards - Additional norms developed by the same committee on aluminium alloys handling, testing, and classification.

• ISO 209-1 - International standard on aluminium alloy designations which align with the classifications in EN 573-3.
