What is BS EN 13920-7 – Aluminum and aluminum alloys about?
BS EN 13920-7 is a European standard and a part of the BS EN 13920 series that discusses the scrap consisting of castings for aluminum and aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where lightweight or corrosion resistance is required.
BS EN 13920-7 specifies characteristics, chemical composition and metal yield of aluminum scrap consisting of aluminum castings in entire or fragmented pieces.
Who is BS EN 13920-7 – Aluminum and aluminum alloys for?
BS EN 13920-7 on aluminum alloys for scraps applies to:
- Manufacturer of aluminum alloys 
- Quality testing personnel 
- Recycling industries 
Why should you use BS EN 13920-7 – Aluminum and aluminum alloys?
Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where lightweight or corrosion resistance is required. Scrap iron and aluminum metals are being used extensively in the construction industry for projects such as roads and bridges.
BS EN 13920-7 provides the requirements of the characteristics for scrap casting in which the scrap does not contain pieces larger than (600 600 400) mm. the percentage of volatile substances does not exceed 2%. The total percentage of other non-metallic foreign materials shall not exceed 2 % (mass fraction). This guide will help you in manufacturing the casting work through scraps for aluminum and aluminum alloys.
BS EN 13920-7 provides you with comprehensive guidance useful throughout the process of production.
