    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes the chemical composition limits of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys and form of products.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the chemical composition limits of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys and form of products.

    The chemical composition limits of aluminium and aluminium alloys specified herein are completely identical with those registered with the Aluminum Association, 1525, Wilson Boulevard, Suite 600, Arlington, VA 22209, USA, for the corresponding alloys.

    Guidelines for the introduction of new wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys in standards are presented in Annex B.
