General Information
Overview
EN 1774:1997 - Zinc and zinc alloys - Alloys for foundry purposes - Ingot and liquid is a European Standard published by CEN that specifies the requirements for zinc alloys intended for foundry use. The standard defines designations, chemical compositions, marking and other production and delivery requirements for zinc alloys supplied in ingot or liquid form. EN 1774:1997 has been adopted as national standards (for example SIST EN 1774:1998 in Slovenia).
Key Topics
EN 1774 focuses on practical, quality-related elements of zinc alloy supply without prescribing manufacturing techniques. Key technical topics covered include:
- Designation system for zinc and zinc alloys for foundry purposes (naming and coding of alloy types)
- Chemical composition requirements and accepted alloying elements (specifying which elements are controlled and how compositions are defined)
- Form of supply: requirements for alloys supplied as ingots and for alloys supplied in liquid form for immediate casting
- Marking and identification: mandatory marking on ingots and documentation for liquid deliveries to ensure traceability
- Delivery and documentation requirements: information to accompany shipments (e.g., alloy designation, batch identification)
- Quality control and conformity expectations (inspection, acceptance criteria and testing procedures implied by marking and composition requirements)
Note: EN 1774 defines the framework and requirements but does not prescribe specific production methods or numerical details beyond the classifications and compositional controls set out in the standard text.
Applications
This standard is used wherever consistent, traceable zinc casting alloys are required:
- Foundries and metal casters specifying zinc alloys for pressure die casting, gravity casting and sand casting
- Zinc alloy producers and smelters preparing ingots or supplying liquid alloy to customer foundries
- Purchasing and quality departments ensuring incoming materials meet specified alloy designations and composition requirements
- Metallurgists and product designers who need to specify appropriate zinc casting alloys and ensure compliance with European material standards
- Compliance and traceability systems in manufacturing and supply chains
Related Standards
For comprehensive material control and casting practice, EN 1774 is typically used alongside other European standards covering:
- Metal sampling and chemical analysis methods
- Material designation and certification formats
- Casting process standards and quality management standards
Using EN 1774:1997 helps ensure consistent material quality, legal traceability and clear communication between alloy suppliers and foundry users in the zinc casting supply chain.
