Technical regulation and scope of the EN 1706 standard
The European standard EN 1706 establishes strict regulatory requirements for the chemical composition of aluminum-based casting alloys and regulates their physical and mechanical characteristics. The document is fundamental for process engineers when selecting materials for die casting, permanent mold casting, or sand casting.
For the correct selection of an alloy for specific production tasks, EV Group China specialists recommend using the reference materials from Annex A, which contain a comparative analysis of performance properties and casting characteristics. This information helps to optimize the choice of alloy depending on the required strength, corrosion resistance, and process manufacturability.
Regulatory framework and interaction standards
To ensure full compliance with technological processes, the EN 1706 standard is used in conjunction with relevant current regulations:
- EN 1676: Technical requirements for the quality of aluminum ingots intended for remelting.
- EN 1559-1: Founding – Technical conditions of delivery – Part 1: General.
- EN 1559-4: Founding – Technical conditions of delivery – Part 4: Additional requirements for aluminum alloy castings.
- EN ISO 8062: Standardized system of dimensional tolerances and machining allowances for cast products.
EV Group China experts provide supplies of rolled aluminum that fully comply with these specifications, guaranteeing the stability of the chemical composition and the predictability of the mechanical parameters of each batch.
