Overview

SIST EN 586-2:1998 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) specifying the mechanical properties and additional property requirements for forgings made from aluminium and aluminium alloys. It is the second part in the EN 586 series, focusing specifically on mechanical characteristics to guide their use in general engineering applications. This standard complements chemical composition and temper designations defined in EN 573-3 and EN 515.

The standard is essential for manufacturers, engineers, and quality inspectors involved with aluminium forgings, providing a clear framework to ensure component performance, reliability, and material conformity across industries.

Key Topics

• Mechanical Properties: SIST EN 586-2:1998 details tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness requirements for aluminium forgings to ensure structural integrity under various mechanical loads.
• Additional Property Requirements: The standard defines supplementary criteria such as toughness, fatigue resistance, and dimensional tolerances that are crucial for specialized engineering applications.
• Material Designation Cross-References: Integration with chemical composition standards (EN 573-3) and temper designation standards (EN 515) ensures a comprehensive specification process for alloy selection and processing.
• Forging Types Covered: The standard addresses various aluminium and aluminium alloy forging forms suitable for general engineering, enabling consistent quality controls.
• Quality Assurance Parameters: EN 586-2 provides guidance on testing methods and acceptance criteria to verify mechanical properties throughout the manufacturing process.

Applications

SIST EN 586-2:1998 is widely utilized in industries where aluminium forgings are preferred due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and versatility. Typical application areas include:

• Automotive Industry: Production of lightweight, durable forged components such as suspension parts and engine blocks.
• Aerospace Engineering: Use in structural elements and critical mechanical parts requiring precise mechanical properties.
• General Engineering: Manufacture of machine parts, tools, and structural elements where reliability and mechanical performance are key.
• Marine Applications: Forged aluminium parts applied in ships and offshore equipment for resistance to harsh environments.
• Energy Sector: Components in power generation and transmission equipment that benefit from aluminium's mechanical characteristics.

By adhering to SIST EN 586-2:1998, stakeholders ensure that aluminium forgings meet industry demands for safety, durability, and performance while maintaining consistent manufacturing standards.

Related Standards

• EN 573-3: Specifies the chemical composition of aluminium and aluminium alloys used in forgings, ensuring material consistency.
• EN 515: Defines temper designations essential for understanding the treatment and mechanical condition of aluminium alloys.
• EN 586-1: Covers the general requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy forgings, complementing the mechanical focus of Part 2.
• ISO 6362 Series: International standards related to wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy products, relevant for global harmonization.

Understanding and applying SIST EN 586-2:1998 alongside these standards facilitates comprehensive control over aluminium forging specifications, fostering trust and interoperability across the engineering and manufacturing sectors.
