15、eld by AFNOR.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by April 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byApril 2003.Within its programme of work, Technical Com
16、mittee CEN/TC 132 entrusted CEN/TC 132/WG 1 “Liquid metal,unalloyed and alloyed ingots“ to prepare the following standard :EN 1780-2, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Designation of alloyed aluminium ingots for remelting, master alloysand castings Part 2 : Chemical symbol based designation system.This
17、 document supersedes EN 1780-2:1996 “Aluminium and aluminium alloys Designation of unalloyed andalloyed aluminium ingots for remelting, master alloys and castings Part 2 : Chemical symbol based designationsystem“.In this revised edition, unalloyed aluminium ingots have been removed from the scope an
18、d provisions for unalloyedaluminium ingots have been deleted.The provisions about the writing rules of unalloyed aluminium has been transferred into the revised version ofEN 576.This European Standard EN 1780, “Aluminium and aluminium alloys Designation of alloyed aluminium ingots forremelting, mast
19、er alloys and castings”, comprises of the following parts:Part 1 : Numerical designation systemPart 2 : Chemical symbol based designation systemPart 3 : Writing rules for chemical compositionAnnex A is normative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations

21、his European Standard specifies a chemical symbol based designation system for aluminium alloys and masteralloys as specified in the relevant European Standards. It applies to ingots for remelting and to castings.A designation system for unalloyed aluminium is specified in EN 576.An alternative nume
22、rical designation system is specified in EN 1780-1. Writing rules for chemical composition arespecified in EN 1780-3.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate pla
23、ces in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

25、ies.EN 1780-3:2002, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Designation of alloyed aluminium ingots for remelting, masteralloys and castings Part 3 : Writing rules for chemical composition.3 Basis of codificationThe designation of aluminium alloys and master alloys shall be based on their chemical symbols, u
26、sually followedby numbers indicating the nominal content of the considered alloying element.The chemical symbols used shall be those of the international nomenclature (see Annex A).The numbers or figures indicating the nominal content of the alloying element in question shall be based on thechemical
27、 composition limits specified in clause 3 of EN 1780-3:2002.Preferably all designations complying with this codification should be put within square brackets, following the fivefigure designation. If only the chemical symbol based designation is used, then it shall have the prefix EN, followedby a b
28、lank space, then the letter A representing aluminium and the letter B representing ingots for remelting, or theletter C representing castings, or the letter M representing master alloys.This letter (B, C or M) shall be separated from the following designation by a hyphen.EXAMPLE EN AB-45400 Al Si5Cu
29、3 or EN AB-Al Si5Cu3The designations currently in use and the corresponding chemical compositions limits are specified in EN 575,EN 1676 and EN 1706.Assignments or revisions of designations shall be approved by Technical Committee CEN/TC 132.EN 1780-2:2002 (E)54 Rules for the coded designation of al
30、uminium alloys and master alloys4.1 GeneralAn alloy shall be designated by the symbol Al, followed by the symbols of the main element or elements. Thesesymbols are usually followed by numbers which express the mass percent contents of the considered elements, inaccordance with the rules shown in 4.2
31、. The symbol Al shall be separated by a blank space from the remainder ofthe designation.When several alloying elements are deemed to be required in the designation, they shall be arranged in order ofdecreasing nominal contents.EXAMPLE 1 EN AB-Al Si5Cu3It these contents are equal, the alloying eleme
32、nts shall be arranged in the alphabetical order of the symbols, asspecified in Annex A.EXAMPLE 2 EN AB-Al Si12CuMgNiThe chemical symbols for alloying elements shall be restricted to a maximum of four elements.EXAMPLE 3 EN AB-Al Si12CuMgNiEXAMPLE 4 EN AC-Al Si12CuMgNiEXAMPLE 5 EN AM-Al Sr10Ti1B0,24.2
33、 Rules for distinguishing between two alloys of similar composition4.2.1 GeneralThe simplest possible designation shall be used.In the case of alloys with similar compositions, the following additional designation shall be used for distinguishingbetween alloys in decreasing priority:4.2.2 Distinguis
34、hing by nominal contentThe alloying element shall be distinguished by the nominal content (middle of the range) rounded to the nearestinteger or, if necessary, to the nearest 0,5, or, for contents less than 1 % to the nearest 0,1.EXAMPLE 1 EN AB-Al Si7Mg0,3EXAMPLE 2 EN AB-Al Si7Mg0,6.4.2.3 Distingui
35、shing by main impuritiesThe main impurity or impurities shall be added in parentheses.EXAMPLE 1 EN AB-Al Si10Mg(Cu)EXAMPLE 2 EN AB-Al Si10Mg(Fe)EXAMPLE 3 EN AB-Al Si9Cu3(Fe)(Zn)EN 1780-2:2002 (E)64.2.4 Distinguishing by a suffixIf the above provision is not sufficient for differentiating between sev
36、eral alloys, a suffix shall be used : (a), (b),(c), according to the date of registration. This suffix shall consist of a lower case letter placed in parentheses toavoid confusion with the chemical symbols.EXAMPLE 1 EN AB-Al Si12(a)EXAMPLE 2 EN AB-Al Si12(b)4.3 Special application for master alloysA
37、 suffix (A) or (B) shall be used at the end of the chemical designation, according to the level of impurities, i.e.:(A) for master alloy with low level of impurities ;(B) for master alloy with high level of impurities.EN 1780-2:2002 (E)7Annex A(normative)International chemical symbolsAluminium Al Mo
