1、ANSI H35.3-1997 (R2013) Reaf rmation of H35.3-1997 1. Scope1.1 This standard provides a system for designat- ing aluminum hardeners used primarily for the addition of alloying or grain re ning elements or modi ers to aluminum alloy melts. 2. Alloy Designation System Q2.1 This system consists of four
2、 digit numerical designations pre xed by the letter H. The rst two digits identify the hardener alloy group by major alloying element W Eas shown in Table 1. The last two digits indicate the sequential registration of hardener alloys beginning with the number H2X00 and have no other signi cance. TAB

WFor codi cation purposes an alloying element is any element which is intentionally added. EA major e
10、lement is that element other than aluminum hav- ing the greatest nominal concentration. Should two or more major elements have equal nominal concentrations, that element appearing rst in the element limit sequence shall be used to determine designation grouping. When nominal concentration of two or
11、more elements are each greater than 9.5%, such alloys are assigned to the 27XX group. RStandard limits for alloying elements and impurities are arranged in the following sequence: Silicon; Iron; Copper; Manganese; Chromium; Nickel; Titanium; Boron; Vanadium; Additional speci ed elements in alphabeti
