BS EN 485 is a series of European standards on aluminium and aluminium alloys that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy sheets, strips, and plates. BS EN 485-1 is the first part of a series of documents on aluminium and aluminium alloys. BS EN 485-1 specifies the technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy sheet, strip, and plate for general applications. BS EN 485-1 also includes provisions for ordering and testing.
BS EN 485-1 applies to products with a thickness over 0,20 mm up to and including 400 mm.
For many special applications of aluminium strip, sheet, and plate, specific European Standards exist, where different or additional requirements are formulated and the appropriate alloys and tempers are selected.
BS EN 485-1 on aluminium and aluminium alloys is relevant to:
Wrought aluminum alloy is a type of aluminum alloy that through stamping, bending, rolling, extrusion, and other processes in the solid-state, generally is easy to plastic forming, also known as pressure processing aluminum alloy.
BS EN 485-1 provide guidance on chemical composition, mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour, freedom from defects, tolerances on dimensions and form, test methods
As a user of BS EN 485-1, you can be ensured of the quality of the wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy products. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 485-1, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy sheets, strips, and plates. As a result, BS EN 485-1 takes into account the quality of the product while also prolonging the service life of the wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy products. BS EN 485-1 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
