Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Scrap - Part 9: Scrap from aluminium separation processes of non-ferrous shredded materials

This part of this European Standard specifies the characteristics, chemical composition and metal yield of the aluminium scrap fraction obtained by flotation or other separation processes of non ferrous shredded materials. It applies to scrap consisting mainly of aluminium castings, but also containing aluminium scrap from wrought products. EXAMPLE The aluminium fraction as obtained by flotation of the material described in prEN 132/200-8.

Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Schrott - Teil 9: Schrott aus Aluminiumseparationsverfahren von geschredderten Nichteisenmaterialien

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Eigenschaften, chemische Zusammensetzung und Metallausbeute der Aluminiumschrottfraktion fest, die durch Flotation oder andere Separationsverfahren von geschredderten Nichteisenmaterialien gewonnen wird. Sie besteht hauptsächlich aus Schrott von Aluminium-Gussstücken, enthält aber auch Schrott von Aluminium-Kneterzeugnissen.

Overview

SIST EN 13920-9:2004 is a European Standard developed by CEN that addresses the classification and specifications for aluminium scrap derived from separation processes of non-ferrous shredded materials. This standard specifically focuses on aluminium scrap mainly originating from aluminium castings, but also including scrap from wrought aluminium products. It defines the characteristics, chemical composition, and metal yield of aluminium scrap fractions obtained through flotation or similar separation technologies used in recycling operations.

This Part 9 standard is part of a comprehensive series on aluminium and aluminium alloys scrap, providing harmonized requirements to facilitate quality assurance, trading, and recycling of aluminium scrap materials within European markets.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  SIST EN 13920-9:2004 applies to aluminium scrap recovered from flotation or other separation procedures applied to non-ferrous shredded waste. It specifically targets scrap that contains predominantly aluminium castings, with possible inclusions of wrought aluminium scrap.

• Characteristics of Aluminium Scrap

  • Piece size: 10 mm minimum and 200 mm maximum
  • Oil, grease, and non-metallic contaminants must not exceed 2% by mass
  • Free from metallic foreign materials

• Chemical Composition
  The standard establishes limits for key elemental contents after melting, including:

  • Silicon (Si): max 9.0%
  • Iron (Fe): max 1.1%
  • Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), Titanium (Ti) and others are also defined with maximum permissible levels
  • Aluminium content is calculated as the remainder after accounting for other elements

• Metal Yield
  The scrap must achieve a metal yield of at least 90% when processed according to EN 13920-1, ensuring efficient recovery of aluminium metal during recycling.

• Ordering and Testing
  The standard specifies key ordering information such as scrap category, consignment mass, delivery period, and any deviations from requirements. Sampling, testing, classification, treatment of non-conformities, and arbitration follow the procedures described in EN 13920-1.

Uses and Applications

• Aluminium Recycling Industry
  EN 13920-9 provides a standardized framework ensuring that scrap from aluminium separation processes meets consistent quality and composition criteria, crucial for efficient recycling operations.

• Metal Foundries and Smelters
  Foundries rely on standard-compliant aluminium scrap to produce high-quality cast products, benefiting from known chemical and physical properties.

• Scrap Traders and Suppliers
  Enables clear communication and reliable transactions of shredded non-ferrous aluminium scrap within European markets and internationally by adhering to defined classifications.

• Environmental and Sustainability Efforts
  By encouraging accurate scrap segregation and quality control, the standard supports recycling initiatives that reduce raw material consumption and lower environmental impact.
