(typically less than 1 bar above atmospheric pressure) is also referred to as “low pressure die casting”.

pressure (typically 7 MPa)
3.6
investment casting
precision casting formed by a three step process comprising:

6 Chemical composition
6.1 General
Chemical composition shall be expressed in accordance with the writing rules given in EN 1780-3. The
chemical composition of aluminium castings shall be in conformity with the limits specified in Table 1.
NOTE Table 1 also includes the chemical compositions of ingots used to produce castings. These are shown in
brackets where they differ from the casting limits and are taken from EN 1676.
The chemical analysis of elements for which specific limits are given in Table 1 shall be carried out. By
agreement between supplier and purchaser other elements may be determined. This particularly
applies to modifying or refining elements such as sodium, strontium, antimony and phosphorus.
Alloying elements and impurities shall be expressed in the following sequence: silicon, iron, copper,
manganese, magnesium, chromium, nickel, zinc, lead, tin, titanium, other elements each/total,
aluminium.
Additional specified elements with specific limits shall be inserted, in alphabetical order with respect to
their chemical symbols after titanium, or be specified in footnotes.
6.2 Samples for chemical analysis
When a chemical analysis is carried out by spark emission spectrometry, samples shall be taken from
the melt at the time the castings are made and shall be cast into a metallic die.
If chemical analysis by emission spectrometry is carried out on a casting, it is recommended that a part
of the casting is remelted and cast into a metallic die to minimize the unavoidable segregation effect.
The content of certain elements such as sodium, strontium and magnesium, is normally reduced by the
remelting, and chemical analysis of such elements should be made directly on the casting.
For sampling the use of EN 14361 is recommended. For chemical analysis the use of EN 14242 and
EN 14726 is recommended.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1706:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 “Aluminium
and aluminium alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1706:2010.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licences on
standardized standard products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions, then this product
shall be removed from the corresponding standard.
Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 entrusted CEN/TC 132/WG 23
“Revision of EN 1676 and EN 1706” to revise EN 1706:2010.
In comparison with EN 1706:2010, the following significant changes were made:
a) Normative reference EN 10002-1 was replaced by EN ISO 6892-1;
b) In Table 1, the following alloys were deleted:

d) In Table 1, the maximum limit for lead was reduced to 0,29 %;
e) In Table 1, footnotes “k” to “m” were added;
f) In Table 2, the following alloys were deleted:
1) EN AC-21200 [EN AC-Al Cu5MnMg];
2) EN AC-43000 [EN AC-Al Si10Mg(a)];

— T5 controlled cooling from casting and artificially aged or over-aged;
— T6 solution heat treated and fully artificially aged;
— T64 solution heat treated and artificially under-aged;
— T7 solution heat treated and artificially over-aged (stabilized).
NOTE For aluminium casting alloys, solution heat treatment involves quenching from elevated temperatures
and distortion could occur.
5.4 Casting process designations
The following abbreviations shall be used as designations for the different casting processes:
— S sand casting;
— K chill or permanent mould casting;
— D high pressure die casting;
— L investment casting.

5.5 Designations to appear on drawings
The complete designation of the casting shall appear on the drawings being part of the order
information. This designation includes:
— the number of this document;
— the alloy designation;
— the casting process designation;
— the temper designation.
EXAMPLE EN 1706 AC-42000-K-T6 is the complete designation of the alloy EN AC-42000, chill cast solution
heat treated and fully artificially aged.
6 Chemical composition
6.1 General
Chemical composition shall be expressed in accordance with the writing rules given in EN 1780-3. The
chemical composition of aluminium casting alloys shall be in conformity with the limits specified in
Table 1.
NOTE Table 1 also includes the chemical compositions of ingots used to produce castings. These are shown in
brackets where they differ from the casting limits and are taken from EN 1676.
When specified, analysis of elements for which specific limits are given in Table 1 shall be carried out.
Analysis for other elements shall be carried out only when agreed between supplier and purchaser. This
particularly applies to modifying or refining elements such as sodium, strontium, antimony and
phosphorus. Alloying elements and impurities shall be expressed in the following sequence: silicon,
iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, nickel, zinc, lead, tin, titanium, other elements
each/total, aluminium.
Additional specified elements with specific limit shall be inserted, in alphabetical order with respect to
their chemical symbols after titanium, or be specified in footnotes.
6.2 Samples for analysis
When samples are required for analysis by emission spectrometry, they shall be taken from the melt at
the time the castings are made and shall be cast into a metallic die.
If analysis by emission spectrometry is carried out on a casting, it is recommended that a part of the
casting is remelted and cast into a metallic die to minimize the unavoidable segregation effect. The level
of certain elements such as sodium, strontium and magnesium, is normally reduced by the remelting,
and analysis for such elements should be made directly on the casting.
For sampling and analysis, the use of existing rules or standards is recommended until a suitable
European Standard is published.

7 Mechanical properties
7.1 General
The minimum mechanical properties for separately cast test pieces for sand cast, chill cast, investment
cast and pressure die cast processes shall be in accordance with Tables 2, 3 and 4.
For each alloy, mechanical properties are only specified for the commonly used methods of casting and
for commonly used tempers. For other processes and tempers, characteristics shall be agreed between
supplier and purchaser.
NOTE 1 The mechanical properties of high pressure die castings are very dependent on injection parameters
and the properties in Table A.1 are for guidance only.
