What is BS EN 1301-2 - Aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wires about?
BS EN 1301-2 is a series of European standards on aluminium and aluminium alloys that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wire.
BS EN 1301-2 specifies the mechanical properties of aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wires for general engineering applications (except aeronautical rivets). BS EN 1301-2 applies to drawn wires, except for electrical or welding purposes. BS EN 1301-2 does not apply to drawing stock.
The designation of aluminium and aluminium alloys, their chemical composition and the temper designations used in BS EN 1301-2 are by EN 573- 3 and EN 515 respectively.
Who is BS EN 1301-2 - Aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wires for?
BS EN 1301-2 on aluminium and aluminium alloys is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wire
Why should you use BS EN 1301-2 - Aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wires?
Aluminum wires are used for electrical wiring in houses, power grids, and aeroplanes. Aluminum wire is an alternative conducting material considering its electrical and mechanical properties and price compared to copper wire. BS EN 1301-2 provides guidance on temper, diameter, tensile strength, proof stress, elongation, material designation.
With BS EN 1301-2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wire. BS EN 1301-2 exemplifies the mechanical properties of aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wires that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specification. BS EN 1301-2 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
