Defines the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test pieces for these alloys.

This European Standard specifies the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test pieces for these alloys.

Annex B is included as a guide to the selection of alloys for a specific use or process.

This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 576, EN 1559-1, EN 1559-4, EN 1676 and EN ISO 8062-3.
