National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of ISO 6362‑2:2014.

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 30 September 2014.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 79, Light metals and their alloys, Subcommittee SC 6, Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 6362‑2:2012), which has been technically revised.

ISO 6362 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys — Extruded rods/bars, tubes and profiles:

Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
Part 2: Mechanical properties
Part 3: Extruded rectangular bars — Tolerances on shape and dimensions
Part 4: Profiles — Tolerances on shape and dimensions
Part 5: Round, square and hexagonal bars — Tolerances on shape and dimensions
Part 6: Round, square, rectangular and hexagonal tubes — Tolerances on shape and dimensions
Part 7: Chemical composition

1 Scope

This part of ISO 6362 specifies the mechanical properties of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy extruded rods/bars, tubes, and profiles for general engineering applications.

It applies to extruded products.
