    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test pieces for these alloys.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test pieces for these alloys.

    Annex B is included as a guide to the selection of alloys for a specific use or process.

    This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 576, EN 1559-1, EN 1559-4, EN 1676 and EN ISO 8062-3.
