Overview

SIST EN 1559-5:2017 is a European standard developed by CEN focusing on the technical delivery conditions for magnesium alloy castings. As Part 5 of the EN 1559 series, it specifies additional requirements tailored for magnesium alloy castings produced through various casting methods such as sand casting, permanent moulds, pressure die casting, centrifugal casting, continuous casting, and investment casting.

This standard serves as a complement to EN 1559-1:2011 (General technical delivery conditions) and provides guidance on contractual arrangements, manufacturing processes, chemical and mechanical property requirements, inspection, marking, and packaging specific to magnesium alloy castings. Not applicable to ingots, billets, bars, or other intermediate forms intended for reprocessing, it aims to support manufacturers and purchasers with clear, standardized technical conditions.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Defines its applicability exclusively to magnesium alloy castings, excluding raw materials such as ingots or billets.

• Designations and Marking: Specifies alloy designation by material numbers or symbols according to EN 1754, supplemented with symbols indicating casting process and temper/heat treatment condition - e.g., "-T4" for temper or "-F-D" for casting process.

• Manufacturing Process: Covers a wide range including sand casting, die casting, centrifugal, continuous, and investment casting methods, ensuring comprehensive applicability across foundry technologies.

• Material Requirements:

  • Chemical Composition: Confirms compliance with applicable material standards and outlines additional determinations if agreed upon.
  • Mechanical Properties: Establishes performance requirements to ensure reliability and functionality.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Mandates surface and internal quality checks via liquid penetrant testing, radiographic testing, or other agreed methods, following EN ISO standards such as EN ISO 3452-1 and EN ISO 5579.

• Condition of Castings: Addresses surface conditions, possible impregnation to eliminate leaks, grain structure assessments both macroscopically and microscopically, and density evaluations to verify casting soundness.

• Inspection and Testing: Defines sampling, test unit formation, inspection frequency, and protocols for retesting, including procedures for resolving disagreements on chemical composition through referee analysis.

• Packaging and Surface Protection: Specifies requirements for preserving casting quality during handling and transport.

• Complaints Handling: Provides a framework for addressing quality disputes.

Applications

SIST EN 1559-5:2017 is particularly valuable to:

• Foundries producing magnesium alloy castings aiming to meet consistent technical standards across European markets.

• Manufacturers and purchasers negotiating clear contractual terms for magnesium castings with standardized technical delivery conditions.

• Quality assurance engineers implementing testing regimes and inspection protocols to ensure casting quality and compliance.

• Design engineers specifying appropriate materials and casting techniques with traceable designation and temper controls in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and lightweight structural components industries benefiting from magnesium alloys’ superior strength-to-weight ratio.

• Suppliers of cast anodes requiring adherence to EN 12438 alongside these supplementary conditions.

Related Standards

SIST EN 1559-5:2017 complements and references several important standards:

• EN 1559-1:2011 – Founding: General technical delivery conditions applicable to all castings.
• EN 1753 – Magnesium alloy ingots and castings.
• EN 12438 – Magnesium alloys for cast anodes.
• EN 1754 – Designation system for magnesium anodes, ingots, and castings.
• EN 1370, EN 1371-1, EN 1371-2 – Surface condition and liquid penetrant testing.
• prEN 12681 series – Radiographic testing techniques.
• EN ISO 3452-1 – Penetrant testing general principles.
• EN ISO 5579 – Radiographic testing of metallic materials.

This interconnected framework ensures that magnesium alloy castings meet stringent European quality and performance standards, facilitating harmonized trade, improved reliability, and enhanced safety across industries.

---

By following the guidelines set out in SIST EN 1559-5:2017, stakeholders can ensure magnesium alloy castings meet rigorous quality, safety, and performance requirements, supporting high-value applications and fostering trust in supply chain agreements.
