Overview
SIST EN 13920-11:2004 is part of a comprehensive European standard that specifies requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy scrap, focusing here on scrap consisting of aluminium-copper radiators. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this document defines classification, composition, and characteristics of this particular scrap type. With a sufficiently high copper content, aluminium-copper radiator scrap can be effectively used as an alloying material in the production of new aluminium alloys. Common sources of such scrap include radiators from vehicles, refrigerators, and industrial equipment.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
- Specifications are limited to scrap derived from aluminium-copper radiators with adequate copper to serve as an alloying element.
- Only non-oxidized, uncontaminated radiator scrap is considered suitable, ensuring quality for recycling and reuse.
Quality and Composition
- The standard details characteristics such as being free from moisture, oil, grease, dust, plastic, iron, brass, and other foreign materials.
- Size limitations ensure safe handling and processing (maximum of 500 x 500 x 250 mm per piece).
- Chemical composition, especially the copper and iron content, must meet specific requirements after melting.
Order and Delivery Requirements
- Orders must reference the standard, define the scrap category, indicate batch mass, and specify the delivery period.
- Buyers and sellers must agree on any deviations from standard requirements in advance.
Testing and Classification
- Procedures for sampling, testing, and classifying scrap, as well as resolving non-conformities, are referenced from EN 13920-1, which underpins this series of standards.
Applications
Aluminium Alloys Manufacturing
- The primary use for aluminium-copper radiator scrap is as a feedstock in the production of new aluminium alloys, where copper acts as a desirable alloying component.
Automotive, Appliance, and Industrial Recycling
- Recovered radiators from end-of-life vehicles, refrigerators, and machinery are valuable sources, contributing to resource efficiency and sustainable materials management.
Metal Recycling Facilities
- Scrap dealers and recycling plants follow this standard to ensure a consistent and marketable product that meets specifications for secondary aluminium smelters.
Circular Economy Initiatives
- Adoption of SIST EN 13920-11:2004 supports the circular economy by maximizing high-value metal recovery and minimizing waste.
Related Standards
This part is one of several within the EN 13920 series, which provide detailed requirements for various types of aluminium and aluminium alloy scrap. Key related standards include:
- EN 13920-1: General requirements, sampling, and tests for aluminium scrap.
- EN 13920-2 to EN 13920-16: Cover other specific categories such as unalloyed aluminium, various alloyed scraps, beverage cans, turnings, post-consumer packaging, and more.
- prEN 12258-3: Terms and definitions for aluminium and its alloys, including scrap.
By adhering to SIST EN 13920-11:2004 and related standards, suppliers, recyclers, and manufacturers can ensure quality, safety, and environmental compliance in the aluminium recycling value chain.
