Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Products for structural railway applications - Technical conditions for inspection and delivery - Part 1: Extruded products

This European Standard specifies requirements for extruded products (rod/bar, tube, profiles) which contribute to the structural properties of the railcar bodyshell and other major structural components.
The requirements on welded joints specified in this standard are not applicable to welded assemblies and sub-assemblies as they are specified for material qualification purposes only.
It specifies particular requirements regarding qualification, quality control, material properties and dimensional tolerances. Guidelines for application and use are also given.
NOTE   Some of the products listed in the present standard can be subject to patent or patent applications, and their listing herein does not in any way imply the granting of a licence under such patent right.
CEN/TC 132 affirms that it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licenses on standardised standard products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions, then this product is removed from the corresponding standard.

Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Erzeugnisse für tragende Anwendungen im Schienenfahrzeugbau - Technische Lieferbedingungen - Teil 1: Strangpresserzeugnisse

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an Strangpresserzeugnisse (Stangen, Rohre, Profile) fest, die für die tragenden Eigenschaften von Wagenkästen für Schienenfahrzeuge und für andere wichtige tragende Bauteile maßgeblich sind.
Die in dieser Norm festgelegten Anforderungen an Schweißverbindungen gelten nicht für geschweißte Baugruppen und Bauuntergruppen, da sie nur zur Qualifizierung der Werkstoffe festgelegt sind.
Sie legt besondere Anforderungen an Eignung, Qualitätsprüfung, Werkstoffeigenschaften und Maßtoleranzen fest. Außerdem werden Leitlinien für Anwendung und Gebrauch angegeben.
ANMERKUNG   Einige in der vorliegenden Norm aufgeführte Produkte können Gegenstand von einem Patent oder
Patentanmeldungen sein. Ihre Auflistung in dieser Norm bedeutet aber keinesfalls, dass dadurch eine Lizenzübertragung unter diesem Patentrecht erfolgt.
CEN/TC 132 bekräftigt seine Vorgehensweise, dass in dem Fall, wenn ein Patentinhaber sich weigert, für genormte
Produkte Lizenzen unter angemessenen und nicht diskriminierenden Bedingungen zu erteilen, dieses Produkt aus der entsprechenden Norm zu entfernen ist.

Aluminium et alliages aluminium - Produits pour applications ferroviaires structurales - Conditions techniques de contrôle et de livraison - Partie 1: Produits filés

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences pour les produits filés (barres, tubes, profilés) qui contribuent aux propriétés structurales des caisses de véhicules ferroviaires et d'autres composants structuraux.
Les exigences spécifiées dans la présente norme pour les joints soudés ne servent qu'à la qualification des matériaux et ne s'appliquent pas aux assemblages et sous-assemblages soudés.
Des exigences particulières concernant la qualification, le contrôle qualité, les propriétés des matériaux et les tolérances dimensionnelles sont spécifiées. En outre, des lignes directrices pour l'application et l'utilisation sont données.
NOTE   Des produits 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 être en aucune façon considérée comme l'attribution d'une licence au regard des droits attachés à de tels brevets.
Le CEN/TC 132 confirme que dans le cas où le détenteur d'un brevet refuserait de céder des licences sur les produits normalisés sous des conditions raisonnables et non discriminatoires, alors ce produit serait éliminé de la norme correspondante.

Overview

EN 13981-1:2003 is a CEN European Standard that defines technical conditions for inspection and delivery of extruded aluminium products used in structural railway applications. It covers extruded rod/bar, tube and profile products that contribute to the structural properties of the railcar bodyshell and other major structural components. The standard sets requirements on qualification, quality control, material properties and dimensional tolerances, and includes guidelines for application and use.

Important note: requirements on welded joints in this standard are intended for material qualification purposes and are not applicable to welded assemblies and sub‑assemblies.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and ordering information: designation of alloy and temper, drawing references, quantities, lengths and special requirements for conformity and testing.
• Production & manufacturing processes: manufacturer discretion unless specified; rules on billet changes and extrusion lengths.
• Quality assurance: manufacturers must maintain a quality management system (at least equivalent to EN ISO 9001) and inspection plans.
• Alloys, chemical composition & tempers: references to EN 573-3 and EN 515 for alloy and temper designations.
• Mechanical properties: static and cyclic (fatigue) performance requirements for parent material and welded joints (qualification only).
• Welds & seams: mechanical testing, weld quality levels and verification of extrusion seams and internal walls.
• Surface condition & dimensional tolerances: freedom from surface defects, tolerances on dimensions and form (linked to EN 755 series).
• Qualification procedures: first-off article approval and additional qualification steps.
• Sampling & test methods: chemical analysis, tensile testing, fatigue testing, metallography, visual inspection and dimensional measurement.
• Traceability, marking & documentation: requirements for traceability, declaration of conformity, record keeping and packaging.
• Annexes: normative test procedures (bend test, fatigue test pieces), material property tables (e.g., EN AW‑6008) and informative guidelines for alloy selection, fatigue design and welding.

Applications

• Specification and acceptance of extruded aluminium profiles for railcar body shells, frames, floors and other structural components.
• Basis for material qualification, supplier contracts, incoming inspection and production quality control for railway OEMs and suppliers.
• Reference for design engineers assessing material selection, dimensional tolerancing and fatigue behaviour of extruded aluminium used in rail vehicles.

Who uses this standard

• Rail vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) and sub‑suppliers
• Aluminium extrusion manufacturers and mills
• Procurement and quality assurance managers in rail industry
• Materials and weld testing laboratories
• Design and structural engineers specifying aluminium components for railcars

Related standards

• EN 515, EN 573-3, EN 755 (parts 1–9), EN 1011-4, EN 895, EN ISO 4287 and EN 30042.
• EN 13981 is a multi‑part set - Parts 2–4 cover plates/sheets, castings and forgings for railway structural use.

Keywords: EN 13981-1, aluminium extruded products, railway structural applications, aluminium alloys, quality control, dimensional tolerances, fatigue testing, material qualification, traceability.
