What is BS EN 13920-11 – Aluminium alloys about?
BS EN 13920-11 is a European standard that discusses the scrap consisting of aluminium-copper radiators for aluminium alloys. Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required.
BS EN 13920-11 specifies the characteristics and chemical composition of scrap consisting of aluminium-copper radiators with a copper content sufficiently high to allow its use as an alloying material in the production of aluminium alloys.
Who is BS EN 13920-11 – Aluminium alloys for?
BS EN 13920-11 on a scrap of aluminium alloys applies to:
- Manufacturer of aluminium alloys
- Recycling industries
Why should you use BS EN 13920-11 – Aluminium alloys?
Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required. Depending on the type of scrap and the desired product quality, different types of furnaces for melting aluminium scrap are used.
BS EN 13920-11 provides you with the characteristics for the requirement of the scrap which consists of non-oxidized pieces free from moisture, oil, grease, dust, plastic, iron, brass and any other foreign material. The size of the pieces shall not exceed (500 · 500 · 250) mm.
BS EN 13920-11 gives you the classification procedure which includes sampling and tests, the treatment of non-conformities and arbitration. Overall, BS EN 13920-11 provides you with comprehensive guidance useful throughout the process of production.
