What is BS EN 2715 - Macrographic examination about ?
BS EN 2715 specifies the procedure for the macrographic examination of the cut surface from aluminium and aluminium alloy wrought products, forging stock and forgings.
Note: BS EN 2715 does not consider health and safety requirements.
Who is BS EN 2715 - Macrographic examination for ?
BS EN 2715 on macrographic examination of aluminium and aluminium alloy wrought products is applicable to:
- Aerospace and Defence Industries
- Manufacturers of aerospace applications
- Spacecraft manufacturers
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aerospace products
- Manufacturers of aluminium alloy wrought products
- Quality control personnel for aluminium alloy wrought products
Why should you use BS EN 2715 - Macrographic examination ?
Aluminium wrought products are produced by smelting pure aluminium ingots with the specific alloying elements required to make a given grade of aluminium. The smelted alloy is then cast into billets or large slabs. This material is then either rolled, forged or extruded into its final shape.
BS EN 2715 covers all the requirements for aluminium alloy wrought products. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of aluminium alloy to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials to aerospace and defence industry.
Macrographic examination evaluates the quality and consistency of a test sample using only low or no magnification. Macro examination of metals can be used to assess quality through the evaluation of a sample’s macrostructural features, which may include grain flow, porosity and cracks.
BS EN 2715 guides you in the macrographic examination of aluminium and aluminium alloy wrought products to maintain the product quality. By adopting BS EN 2715, you can demonstrate the reliability of your aerospace products, and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
