13、Standard is a revision of ANSI Standard H35.1/H35.1(M)-2009 Alloy and Temper Designation Systems for Aluminum.Initially, the Standard consisted of only the alloy designation system for wrought aluminum developed by The Aluminum Association and adopted by that organization in 1954. A booklet describi
14、ng the system was issued in July 1954 and was approved under the existing standards procedure of the American Standards Association as American Standard H35.1-1957.All major producers of wrought aluminum alloys in the United States adopted the Aluminum Association Alloy Designation System for Wrough
15、t Aluminum on October 1, 1954. A Military Standard (MIL-STD-192) covering the new system was issued in October 1955. The Society of Automotive Engineers began using the designations in 1956, and the American Society for Testing and Materials in 1958.The Standard was reissued in 1962 to add the tempe
16、r designation system that had been in effect in the United States since 1948. Subsequently, MIL-STD-192 was cancelled, since it was the equivalent to American Standard H35.1- 1962.This Standard was originally developed and subsequently revised using the “canvas” method and published under the propri
17、etary sponsorship of the Aluminum Association. At the request of the Aluminum Association, the estab- lishment of Standards Committee H35 on Aluminum Alloys was authorized by the American National Standards Institute on 17 February 1970, with the Association serving as Secretariat.The 1971 revision
18、of ANSI H35.1 was the first revision developed by Standards Committee H35, under the “Standards Committee” procedures, and the 1972, 1975, 1978, and 1982 revisions were developed under the auspices of that Committee.Standards Committee H35 was transferred to an Accredited Standards Committee on Dece
19、mber 28, 1983, and this revision was developed under the Accredited Standards Committee method.This latest (2013) revision consists of modification to the wrought alloy designation system and elimination of the requirement that a variation is from another country; relocation of footnote references f
20、or clarity; and addition of a footnote to require individual limits for combination of elements in excess of 0.10%. Additionally, a definition for O2 temper designation has been added as a reserved temper to demonstrate response to annealing. 3 ANSI H35.1 / H35.1(M)-2013 1. Scope This standard provi
21、des systems for designating wrought aluminum and wrought aluminum alloys, aluminum and aluminum alloys in the form of cast ings and foundry ingot, and the tempers in which aluminum and aluminum alloy wrought products and aluminum alloy castings are pro duced. Specific limits for chemical composition
22、s and for mechanical and physical properties to which conformance is required are provided by applicable product standards. NOTE: A numerical designation assigned in conformance with this stan dard should only be used to indicate an aluminum or an aluminum alloy having chemical composi tion limits i
23、dentical to those registered with The Alumi num Association and, for wrought aluminum and wrought aluminum alloys, with the signatories of the Declaration of Accord on an International Alloy Designation System for Wrought Aluminum and Wrought Aluminum Alloys. 2. Wrought Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy D
24、esignation System Q W E R q A system of four-digit numerical designations is used to identify wrought aluminum and wrought aluminum alloys. The first digit indicates the alloy group as follows: Aluminum, 99.00 percent and greater . 1xxx Aluminum alloys grouped by major alloying elements Copper . 2xx
25、x Manganese 3xxx Silicon 4xxx Magnesium 5xxx Magnesium and silicon. 6xxx Zinc 7xxx Other element 8xxx Unused series 9xxx Q Chemical composition limits and designations conforming to this standard for wrought aluminum and wrought aluminum alloys, and aluminum and aluminum alloy castings and foundry i
26、ngot may be registered with The Aluminum Association provided: (1) the aluminum or aluminum alloy is offered for sale, (2) the complete chemical composition limits are registered, and (3) the composition is significantly different from that of any aluminum or aluminum alloy for which a numerical des
27、ignation already has been assigned. W For codification purposes an alloying element is any element that is intentionally added for any purpose other than grain refinement and for which minimum and maximum limits are specified. E Standard limits for alloying elements and impurities are expressed to t
28、he following places:Less than 0.001 percent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.000X0.001 but less than 0.01 percent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.00X 0.01 but less than 0.10 percent Unalloyed aluminum made by a refining process . . .

30、 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.X, X.X, etc.(except that combined Si + Fe limits for 1xxx designations must be expressed as 0.XX or 1.XX) R Standard limits for alloying elements and impurities are expressed in the following sequence: Silicon; Iron; Copper; Manganese; Magnesium; Chro- mium; Nickel; Zinc;
31、Titanium (see Note 1); Other (see Note 2) Elements, Each; Other (see Note 2) Elements, Total; Aluminum (see Note 3). The designation assigned shall be in the 1xxx group whenever the minimum aluminum content is specified as 99.00 percent or higher. The alloy designation in the 2xxx through 8xxx group
32、s is determined by the alloy ing element (Mg 2 Si for 6xxx alloys) present in the greatest mean percentage, except in cases in which the alloy being registered qualifies as a modification or variation of a previously registered alloy. If the greatest mean percentage is common to more than one alloyi
33、ng element, choice of group shall be in order of group sequence Cu, Mn, Si, Mg, Mg 2 Si, Zn or others. The last two digits identify the aluminum alloy or indicate the aluminum purity. The second digit indi cates modifica- tions of the original alloy or impurity limits. 2.1 Aluminum In the 1xxx group
34、 for minimum aluminum purities of 99.00 percent and greater, the last two of the four digits in the designation indicate the minimum alu minum percent age T . These digits are the same as the two digits to the right of the decimal point in the minimum aluminum percentage when it is expressed to the
35、nearest 0.01 percent. The second digit in the designation indicates modifications in impurity limits or alloying elements. If the second digit in the designation is zero, it indi cates unalloyed aluminum having natural impurity limits; integers 1 through 9, which are assigned con secutively as neede
36、d, indicate special control of one or more individual impurities or alloying elements. Note 1Additional specified elements having limits are inserted in alphabetical order according to their chemical symbols between Titanium and Other Elements, Each, or are listed in footnotes. Note 2“Other” include
37、s listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not specified in the registration or specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic “other” elements. Should any ana
38、lysis by the producer or the purchaser establish that an “other” element exceeds the limit of “Each” or that the aggregate of several “other” elements exceeds the limit of “Total”, the material shall be considered non-conforming. Note 3Aluminum is specified as minimum for unalloyed aluminum, and as
39、a remainder for aluminum alloys. T The aluminum content for unalloyed aluminum made by a refining process is the difference between 100.00 percent and the sum of all other metallic elements together with silicon present in amounts of 0.0010 percent or more each, expressed to the third decimal before
40、 determining the sum, which is rounded to the second decimal before subtracting; for unalloyed aluminum not made by a refining process it is the difference between 100.00 percent and the sum of all other analyzed metallic elements together with silicon present in amounts of 0.010 percent or more eac
41、h, expressed to the second decimal before determining the sum. For unalloyed aluminum made by a refining process, when the specified maximum limit is 0.0XX, an observed value or a calculated value greater than 0.0005 but less than 0.0010% is rounded off and shown as “less than 0.001”; for alloys and
42、 unalloyed aluminum not made by a refining process, when the specified maximum limit is 0.XX, an observed value or a calculated value greater than 0.005 but less than 0.010% is rounded off and shown as “less than 0.01”. qIndividual element limits (i.e. a maximum limit or a range) are required for el
43、ements having a combined maximum limit in excess of 0.10%. Individual element limits are not required for elements having a combined maximum limit of 0.10% or less.

44、xx through 8xxx alloy groups the last two of the four digits in the designation have no special sig nificance but serve only to identify the different alu minum alloys in the group. The second digit in the alloy designation indicates original alloy and alloy modifications. If the second digit in the
45、 designation is zero, it indicates the original alloy; integers 1 through 9, which are as signed consecutively, indicate alloy modifications. A modification of the original alloy is limited to any one or a combination of the following: (a) Change of not more than the following amounts in arithmetic
46、mean of the limits for an individual al loying element or combination of elements expressed as an alloying element or both.Arithmetic Mean ofLimits for Alloying Maximum Elements in Original Alloy Change Up thru 1.0 percent 0.15 Over 1.0 thru 2.0 percent . 0.20 Over 2.0 thru 3.0 percent . 0.25 Over 3
47、.0 thru 4.0 percent . 0.30 Over 4.0 thru 5.0 percent . 0.35 Over 5.0 thru 6.0 percent . 0.40 Over 6.0 percent 0.50 To determine compliance when maximum and mini mum limits are specified for a combination of two or more elements in one alloy composition, the arithmetic mean of such a combination is c
48、ompared to the sum of the mean values of the same individual elements, or any combina tion thereof, in another alloy compo sition. (b) Addition or deletion of not more than one alloy ing element with limits having an arithmetic mean of not more than 0.30 percent or addition or deletion of not more t
49、han one combination of elements ex pressed as an alloying element with limits having a combined arithmetic mean of not more than 0.40 per cent. (c) Substitution of one allo ying element for another element serving the same purpose. (d) Change in limits for impurities expressed singly or as a combination. (e) Change in limits for grain refining elements. (f ) Maximum iron or silicon limits of 0.12 percent and 0.10 percent, or less, respectively, reflecting use of high purity base metal. An alloy shall not be registered as a modification if it meets the requirements for a variation. 2.3
