BS EN 4400-6:2019

What is BS EN 4400-6 about? 

BS EN 4400-6 defines the requirements for the ordering, manufacture, testing, inspection, and delivery of aluminium alloy forging stock (produced by extrusion or hot rolling) and cast forging stock. 

NOTE: BS EN 4400-6 shall be applied when referred to and in conjunction with the EN material standard, normally when the forging stock manufacturer is not the producer of the corresponding forgings. 

Who is BS EN 4400-6 for? 

BS EN 4400-6 on aluminium alloy forging stock is applicable for adoption by: 

• Manufacturers associated with ordering, manufacturing, testing, inspection and delivery of aluminium alloy wrought forging stock and cast forging stock. 
• Aerospace and defence industries 

Why should you use BS EN 4400-6? 

Forged aluminium alloys display superior strength, mechanical characteristics suitable for widescale manufacturing applications.  

The specifications enlisted in BS EN 4400-6help to facilitate the manufacturing, ordering, inspections, and traceability of wrought aluminium alloy forging and cast forging of aluminium alloy.  

Material standards, chemical composition, test methods for wrought forging and cast forging enumerated in BS EN 4400-6help manufacturers to  identify internal, as well as extrusion back-end discontinuities. This, ultimately, helps to ensure the quality and performance of the aluminium alloy forging stock
