This document specifies the particular requirements for wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip for general applications. This product is generally supplied in thicknesses up to 3,0 mm. It is applicable to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated by the coil coating process both with liquid as well as with powder paints, either in the final width or slit afterwards, and to sheet obtained from such strip. It does not apply to coil coated sheet and strip used for special applications such as cans, closures and lids which are dealt with in separate EN 541.

This document specifies methods for measuring the parameters needed for corrosivity estimation used for classification of the corrosivity of atmospheres in ISO 9223. This document specifies methods for the measurement of environmental parameters for — normative corrosivity estimation based on calculated first-year corrosion rates of standard metals, and — informative corrosivity estimation based on characterization of the exposure environment. This document does not describe the usual analytical techniques for the measured parameters since this depends on the available analytical techniques used in laboratories. Specific methods for deposition measurement of SO2 and Cl− deposition rates and conversion factors for comparison of different measuring methods are presented in Annexes A, B, C, D, E and F. For methods pertaining to the characterization of the atmospheric exposure site in general, see ISO 8565.

This document specifies the technical delivery requirements for open die forgings, forged bars and products pre-forged and finished in ring rolling mills, manufactured from alloy special steel and supplied in the quenched and tempered condition. The majority of steels listed in this document are identical to steels specified in EN ISO 683-1 and EN ISO 683-2 and more extensive information on hardenability and technological properties is given in these standards. General information on technical delivery conditions is given in EN 10021.

This document specifies technical delivery conditions for hot-finished seamless, electric welded and submerged arc welded steel structural hollow sections of circular, square, rectangular or elliptical forms. It applies to hollow sections formed hot, with or without subsequent heat treatment, or formed cold with subsequent heat treatment above 580 °C to obtain equivalent mechanical properties to those obtained in the hot formed product. NOTE 1 The requirements for tolerances, dimensions and sectional properties are specified in EN 10210-2. NOTE 2 The provisions that apply under the Construction Products Regulations (CPR) are specified in EN 10380. NOTE 3 The attention of users is drawn to the fact that whilst cold formed grades in EN 10219-1 can have equivalent mechanical properties to hot-finished grades in this document the sectional properties of square and rectangular hollow sections in EN 10210-2 and EN 10219-2 are not equivalent. NOTE 4 A range of material grades is specified in this standard and the user should select the grade most appropriate to the intended use and service conditions. The grades and mechanical properties of the finished hollow sections are generally comparable with those in EN 10025-2, EN 10025-3, EN 10025-4, EN 10025-5 and EN 10025-6. NOTE 5 The requirements for seamless and welded steel structural hollow sections for use in offshore structures are covered in EN 10225. NOTE 6 Spiral welded hollow sections must be used with caution in applications involving dynamic behaviour (fatigue stress) as, up to now, there is insufficient data regarding their performance.

The standard shall cover finished products made of carbon steel, steel alloy and cast steel intended to be used as structural elements in construction works, including its use in installations. Products may be coated, or uncoated. Products may be weldable, or non-weldable. Products made of stainless steel are excluded from this product definition. The standard shall cover: Product group on sections and profiles, product group on plates, sheets, strip and wide flats, product group on bars, rods and wire, product group on hollows and product group on piles and sheet piles.

This document specifies the technical delivery conditions for electric welded and submerged arc welded cold formed structural steel hollow sections of circular, square, rectangular or elliptical forms and applies to structural hollow sections formed cold without subsequent heat treatment other than the heat treatment of the weld line. NOTE 1 The requirements for tolerances, dimensions and sectional properties in EN 10219-2. NOTE 2 The provisions that apply under the Construction Products Regulations (CPR) are specified in EN 10380. NOTE 3 The attention of users is drawn to the fact that whilst cold formed grades in this document can have equivalent mechanical properties to hot-finished grades in EN 10210-1 the sectional properties of square and rectangular hollow sections in EN 10219-2 and EN 10210-2 are not equivalent. NOTE 4 A range of steel grades is specified in this document and the user should select the grade most appropriate to the intended use and service conditions. The grades and mechanical properties, but not the final supply condition of cold formed hollow sections are generally comparable with those in EN 10025-2, EN 10025-3, EN 10025-4, EN 10025-5, EN 10025-6, EN 10149-2 and EN 10149-3.

This European Standard defines general terms relating to products of aluminium and aluminium alloys which are helpful for communication within the aluminium industry and with its customers . It includes terms dealing with aluminium products, processing, sampling and testing, product characteristics and different types of visual quality characteristics. It does not include terms dealing with bauxite mining, alumina and anode production and aluminium smelting. This European Standard tries to adhere as closely as possible to the terms and definitions used in other standards or documents. NOTE For materials other than aluminium, different definitions can apply to terms which are defined in this document. This European Standard tries to follow the "common language" as it is used in native English speaking countries, without giving preference to specific idioms of any one of these counties. In cases where in different English-speaking countries different terms are used for the same concept or different concepts refer to an identical term, the appropriate explanations are given.

This document specifies a test method for evaluating the vapor inhibiting ability of volatile corrosion inhibitor materials to ferrous metals. This document is especially suitable for evaluating the vapor inhibiting ability of laminate, powder and liquid volatile corrosion inhibitor materials. This test method may be referenced for evaluating other forms of volatile corrosion inhibitor materials.

This document specifies methods for determining fracture toughness in terms of K, δ, J and R-curves for homogeneous metallic materials subjected to quasistatic loading. Specimens are notched, precracked by fatigue and tested under slowly increasing displacement. The fracture toughness is determined for individual specimens at or after the onset of ductile crack extension or at the onset of ductile crack instability or unstable crack extension. In cases where cracks grow in a stable manner under ductile tearing conditions, a resistance curve describing fracture toughness as a function of crack extension is measured. In some cases in the testing of ferritic materials, unstable crack extension can occur by cleavage or ductile crack initiation and growth, interrupted by cleavage extension. The fracture toughness at crack arrest is not covered by this document. Special testing requirements and analysis procedures are necessary when testing weldments, and these are described in ISO 15653 which is complementary to this document. Statistical variability of the results strongly depends on the fracture type, for instance, fracture toughness associated with cleavage fracture in ferritic steels can show large variation. For applications that require high reliability, a statistical approach can be used to quantify the variability in fracture toughness in the ductile-to-brittle transition region, such as that given in ASTM E1921. However, it is not the purpose of this document to specify the number of tests to be carried out nor how the results of the tests are to be applied or interpreted.
