What is BS EN 570 - Impact extrusion slugs about?
BS EN 570 specifies the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, tolerances on dimensions and form and other requirements for flat or preformed wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy slugs for impact extrusion.
BS EN 570 applies to slugs produced either by punching rolled products or by cutting extruded products. Slugs covered in BS EN 570 are suitable for the manufacture of impact-extruded parts for packaging and industrial applications.
Who is BS EN 570 - Impact extrusion slugs for?
BS EN 570 on impact extrusion slugs is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of flat or preformed wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy slugs
- Mechanical engineer
Why should you use BS EN 570 - Impact extrusion slugs?
Impact extrusion is a manufacturing process similar to extrusion and drawing by which products are made with a metal slug. The slug is pressed at a high velocity with extreme force into a die or mould by a punch.
BS EN 570 provides guidance on the designation, tolerances on dimensions and form, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality, testing.
As a user of BS EN 570, you can be ensured of the technical condition and requirements of impact extrusion slugs. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 570, you can efficiently
manufacture high-quality flat or preformed wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloy slugs. With BS EN 570 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
