What is 2076-3 – Pre-production of aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots about?
Aluminium is widely used in aerospace applications due to its light weight and performance characteristics.
BS EN 2076-3 specifies the particular requirements for castings in aluminium and magnesium alloys produced from material complying with BS EN 2076-2.
BS EN 2076-3 also applies to pre-production castings intended for the qualification of the method of manufacture and inspection.
BS EN 2076-3 shall be used in conjunction with BS EN 2076-1.
Who is BS EN 2076-3 - Pre-production of aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots for?
BS EN 2076-3 on Pre-production of aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings is useful for:
Why should you use BS EN 2076-3 - Pre-production of aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots?
Aluminium is highly corrosion-resistant and has low tensile strength, making it ideal for becoming an alloy with magnesium and various other metals to increase its hardness and strength.
BS EN 2076-3 provides you with guidelines for casting development as well as pre-production castings. Guidelines for inspection and the testing report have also been provided in BS EN 2076-3. Acceptance of pre-production castings has been discussed in BS EN 2076-3.
In addition to the different types of tests, BS EN 2076-3 also provides guidelines on marking of the products.
BS EN 2070-5 guidelines help you to follow best practices when manufacturing and supplying aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings for aerospace applications.EN 2076-3:1989
