The chemical composition limits of the alloys are specified in EN 573-3. Temper designations are defined in EN 515.

Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Bänder, Bleche und Platten - Teil 2: Mechanische Eigenschaften

Diese Europäische Norm legt die mechanischen Eigenschaften für Bleche, Bänder und Platten aus Aluminium und Aluminium-Knetlegierungen fest, die für die allgemeine Verwendung bestimmt sind.
Sie gilt nicht für gewalzte Halbzeuge in aufgerollter Form, die einem weiteren Walzvorgang unterzogen werden (Vorwalzbänder), oder für spezielle Erzeugnisse, wie z. B. profilierte, geprägte oder lackierte Bänder und Bleche oder für spezielle Anwendungen, wie z. B. Luft- und Raumfahrt, Getränkedosen und Wärmeaustauscher, für die die mechanischen Eigenschaften in gesonderten Europäischen Normen festgelegt sind.
Die Grenzwerte der chemischen Zusammensetzung der Legierungen sind in EN 573-3 festgelegt. Die Bezeichnungen der Werkstoffzustände sind in EN 515 definiert.

Aluminium et alliages d'aluminium - Tôles, bandes et tôles épaisses - Partie 2 : Partie 2 : Caractéristiques mécaniques

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques mécaniques des tôles, bandes et tôles épaisses en aluminium corroyé et alliages d’aluminium corroyés pour applications courantes.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux demi-produits laminés, livrés en bobines, destinés à être relaminés (ébauches de relaminage), ni aux produits spéciaux, tels que les tôles et bandes ondulées, gravées, laquées, etc., ni aux applications spéciales, telles que la construction aéronautique, le boîtage et les échangeurs thermiques, pour lesquels les caractéristiques mécaniques sont spécifiées dans des Normes européennes séparées.
Les limites de composition chimique des alliages sont spécifiées dans l’EN 573-3. Les désignations des états métallurgiques sont définies sont définies dans l'EN 515.

Overview

SIST EN 485-2:2016/oprA1:2018 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the mechanical properties for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy sheet, strip, and plate intended for general engineering applications. As Part 2 in the EN 485 family of standards, it outlines the essential mechanical property requirements to ensure consistent material performance across industries in Europe. This standard is integral for manufacturers, engineers, and quality assurance professionals working with aluminium materials in non-specialized applications.

SIST EN 485-2:2016/oprA1:2018 does not cover:

  • Semi-finished rolled products supplied in coiled form for further rolling (reroll stock)
  • Special product types, such as corrugated, embossed, or painted sheets/strips
  • Aerospace, can stock, finstock, and other specialized applications, as these have dedicated standards

Reference to chemical composition limits and temper designations can be found in EN 573-3 and EN 515, respectively.

Key Topics

The standard focuses on the following core areas:

  • Mechanical Properties Specification: Lists mechanical property requirements (such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation) for a wide range of wrought aluminium alloys.
  • Alloy and Temper Ranges: Covers an extensive array of aluminium alloys and their designated tempers suitable for general engineering purposes.
  • Product Forms: Details apply specifically to sheet, strip, and plate-not coiled products or specialized fabricated forms.
  • Table Updates: The draft amendment prA1 introduces updates to alloy listings and corrects specific mechanical property entries, such as for EN AW-5657.
  • Referential Structure: Draws upon related standards for complementary information-chemical composition (EN 573-3) and tempers (EN 515).

Applications

SIST EN 485-2:2016/oprA1:2018 has practical value across a spectrum of manufacturing and engineering settings, including:

  • General Engineering: Ensuring reliable mechanical behavior of aluminium sheets, strips, and plates used in structural, automotive, electrical, and various industrial applications.
  • Product Standardization: Facilitates consistent quality and interchangeability of aluminium products across suppliers and markets.
  • Material Certification: Used by quality control departments to verify that received materials meet the requisite mechanical properties.
  • Design and Procurement: Provides engineers and buyers with trustworthy reference data when specifying or sourcing aluminium products for projects.

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers improve product credibility, streamline compliance across the European market, and facilitate acceptance in international supply chains.

Related Standards

For comprehensive understanding and precise specification, SIST EN 485-2:2016/oprA1:2018 should be used alongside these related standards:

  • EN 485-1: General requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy sheets, strips, and plates.
  • EN 485-3 & EN 485-4: Specify tolerances on dimensions, form, and technical conditions for inspection and delivery.
  • EN 573-3: Defines the chemical composition limits for aluminium alloys, critical for alloy selection and verification.
  • EN 515: Details temper designations, necessary for understanding mechanical property variations.
  • Other Application-Specific Standards: For aerospace, can stock, or finstock aluminium products, refer to the appropriate dedicated European standards.
