Technical requirements of the EN 487 standard for aluminum ingots
The EN 487 standard defines strict regulatory requirements for the production of ingots made of aluminum and its alloys, manufactured using vertical semi-continuous casting technology. This specification is fundamental for companies in the metallurgical sector working with primary aluminum raw materials, ensuring quality control of the metal structure and the absence of defects arising during the crystallization process.
EV Group China provides expert support in selecting aluminum rolled products that meet international quality standards. The technological process regulated by EN 487 allows for minimizing internal stresses in ingots, which is critical for subsequent pressure processing — rolling, extrusion, and forging.
