National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 485‑2:2013. It supersedes BS EN 485‑2:2008 which is withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee NFE/35, Light metals and their alloys.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.

This British Standard was published under the authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 31 October 2013.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 22 August 2013.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this Europe an Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning s uch national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by tra nslation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and U nited Kingdom.

Foreword

This document (EN 485‑2:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 “Aluminium and aluminium alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2014.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

CEN/TC 132 affirms its policy that if a patentee refuses to grant licences on standardized products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions, this product will be removed from the corresponding document.

This document supersedes EN 485‑2:2008.

CEN/TC 132 decided to revise EN 485‑2:2008 as follows:

addition of the alloy EN AW-1350 in a new Table 18;
addition of the alloy EN AW-4115 in a new Table 18;
addition of the alloy EN AW-5449A in a new Table 36;
addition of the alloy EN AW-5456 in a new Table 38;
EN 10002‑1 was replaced by EN ISO 6892‑1.

EN 485 comprises the following parts under the general title, "Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Sheet, strip and plate":

Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
Part 2: Mechanical properties
Part 3: Tolerances on dimensions and form for hot-rolled products
Part 4: Tolerances on shape and dimensions for cold-rolled products

According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies the mecha nical properties of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy sheet, strip and plate for general engineering applications.

It does not apply to semi-finished rolled products in coiled form to be subjected to further rolling (reroll stock) or to special products such as corrugated, embossed, painted, sheets and strips or to special applications such as aerospace, can stock, finstock, for which mechanical properties are specified in separate European Standards.

The chemical composition limits of the alloys are specified in EN 573‑3.

Temper designations are defined in Annex B, in compliance with the provisions of EN 515.
