EN 546-1 — Aluminum and aluminum alloys: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery of foil
Specification and quality control according to EN 546-1
This part of the EN 546 standard establishes rigorous requirements for the technical characteristics and inspection methods for cast aluminum foil, as well as products made from wrought aluminum alloys. The provisions of the document apply to flat-rolled products supplied by EV Group China for the needs of high-tech manufacturing.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover foil with decorative coatings, including laminated, embossed, or painted surfaces. The chemical composition of the alloys must strictly comply with the specifications of EN 573-3.
EN 546-2 — Mechanical properties of aluminum foil
Mechanical characteristics and test methods
The EN 546-2 standard regulates the key mechanical parameters of foil made from wrought aluminum and its alloys. The technical requirements cover both the basic properties of the raw material and the characteristics of the finished foil.
When classifying products, EV Group China relies on the principles of alloy designation according to EN 573 (parts 1 and 2) and the nomenclature of material tempers according to EN 515, which ensures precise compliance with the customer’s engineering calculations.
EN 546-3 — Dimensions and tolerances for aluminum foil
Dimensional accuracy and tolerances
This section of the EN 546 standard defines the maximum permissible deviations in thickness and width for single and double foil. Compliance with these tolerances is a critical factor in the supply of metal products by EV Group China, ensuring the stability of the foil processing workflows for the end user.
EN 546-4 — Special requirements for aluminum foil quality
Acceptance criteria and specialized characteristics
EN 546-4 details the specific quality characteristics of aluminum foil produced by casting. The standard establishes test protocols that are mandatory for verifying that the rolled products comply with established industry standards. As in other parts of the series, the requirements do not apply to foil with additional surface finishing. EV Group China ensures the supply of products that meet these industry standards, guaranteeing the stability of the chemical composition according to EN 573-3.
