Specification and Purpose of the EN 515 Standard
The European EN 515 standard regulates a unified system for the codification and marking of wrought semi-finished products made of aluminum and aluminum alloys. This specification is critical for engineers and quality control specialists, as it defines the requirements for identifying materials intended for subsequent processing via continuous casting methods, as well as for forgings and other types of wrought products.
Experts at EV Group China emphasize that compliance with the provisions of EN 515 ensures the traceability of the chemical composition and physical-mechanical properties of alloys at all stages of the production cycle—from the raw billet to the finished product. The use of this designation system minimizes the risks of errors when selecting materials for critical metal structures and precision components.
