Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Forgings - Part 3: Tolerances on dimensions and form

This European Standard specifies the tolerances on dimensions and form of aluminium and aluminium alloy forgings for general engineering applications of usual design concepts which are formed hot.
It applies to :
3 die forgings without machining all over :
shape dimensions nmax L 2 000 mm, die closure dimensions tmax L 600 mm and projected area A L 4 000 cm2;
die forgings with machining all over :
shape dimensions nmax L 6 000 mm and projected area A L 22 000 cm2;
3 hand forgings :

Tolerances on forgings outside the scope of this standard or of complex design can be mutually agreed between supplier and purchaser.
Design guidelines for die and hand forgings are given in annex A.
NOTE   Some of the products mentioned in this European Standard may be the subject of patent or patent applications, and their listing herein is not to be construed in any way as the granting of a licence under such patent right.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licenses on standardized standards products under resonable and non discriminatory conditions then this product should be removed from the corresponding standard.

NOTE   Des matériaux cités dans la présente norme peuvent faire l'objet de brevet ou de demandes de brevets, et leur inclusion dans la présente norme ne doit etre en aucune façon considérée comme l'attribution d'une licence au regard des droits attachés a de tels brevets.
Le CEN/TC 132 confirme que dans le cas ou le détenteur d'un brevet refuse de céder des licences sur les produits normalisés sous des conditions raisonnables et non discriminatoires, alors ce produit serait éliminé de la norme correspondante.

6 Tolerances on dimensions and form
6.1 Die forgings
6.1.1 General
Dimensional variations are influenced by the fabrication accuracy of the dies, tool wear, shrinkage and the
unavoidable deviations caused during the shaping process as well as during heat treatment.
The different forging applications necessitate different dimensional tolerance levels for die forgings with and without
machining all over. Likewise, tolerances applied to shape dimensions n are different to those applied to die closure
dimensions t.
When specifying dimensions, due consideration shall be given to the accumulation of tolerances, see A.1.13,
A.1.14 and Figure5.
6.1.2 Forgings without machining all over
6.1.2.1 General
Shape dimensions n and die closure dimensions t for die forgings without machining all over are shown in Figure 4.

The tolerances on shape dimensions n for forgings of a size which fits within a sphere of 120 mm diameter shall be
as specified in Table 3 and for a size greater than that which fits within a sphere of 120 mm diameter shall be as
specified in Table 4.
If the purchaser requires a given dimension to be governed by a wholly plus or a wholly minus tolerance the
tolerance range stated in Tables 3 and 4 shall apply.

6.1.4 Mismatch (offset)
6.1.4.1 General
Mismatch (offset) is the distance m between a given point in that part of the forging on one side of the parting plane
and the corresponding point on the opposite side. Measurement shall be taken as shown in Figure 6.
Intended construction Mismatch (offset)
Key
1 Longitudinal mismatch (offset)
2 Transverse mismatch (offset)
Figure 6 - Mismatch (offset)
The tolerance for mismatch (offset) is independent of other dimensional tolerances and shall be applied separately.
The basis for establishing such tolerances shall be the overall dimension of the forging n viewed in the direction
max
of forging (see Figures 4 and 5).
6.1.4.2 Forgings without machining all over
The mismatch (offset) tolerances on forgings without machining all over shall be as specified in Table 8.
For wall thickness the mismatch (offset) tolerances shall be based on the largest nominal thickness and inboard
draft angle ß (see Figure 7).

inboard draft angle ß = 10° (tan ß = 0,176 3)
Applying the formula :

6.1.5 Flash and fin projections
6.1.5.1 General
Flashes are formed by metal extruding between the mating surfaces of the dies and are either cut off by
mechanical means or removed using hand tools. Tolerances for the residual flash projections (see Figure 8) shall
be as specified in Table 10.
The fin or burr formed on the outline of certain forgings during the forming and fettling operations, notably near to
the mating surfaces of the dies, known as stamping, fettling or infiltration fins shall also be similarly restricted.
Tolerances for fin projections (see Figure 9) shall be as specified in Table 11.
6.1.5.2 Flash projections
Tolerances for flash projections shall be as specified in Table 10.
Flash projections shall be measured as shown in Figure8.

Ejector marks are areas on the forging’s surface, either recessed or raised, residual from ejectors included in the

Tolerances for ejector marks shall be as specified in Table 12. The basic dimension for establishing such
tolerances shall be the projected area A (see Figure 3).
