Wrought products and cast products made from aluminum must meet special requirements when it comes to resistance to corrosion and heat-treatability.
What is DIN EN 12392/A1 Aluminum and aluminium alloys?
DIN EN /A Aluminium and aluminium alloys – Wrought products and cast products – Special requirements for products intended for the production of pressure equipment; German and English version EN :/prA:
Aluminium alloys are a type of metal alloy that is made from aluminium and other elements. Aluminium alloys are often used to make products that require high strength and durability, such as pressure equipment.
Products that require a DIN EN 12392/A1 Aluminium alloy must meet certain requirements. This standard requires products to have a minimum yield strength (MSY) of at least 65 MPa, a creep resistance of at least 5 000 N/mm2, and a fatigue life of at least 100 000 cycles. Additionally, the alloy must have good corrosion resistance and low thermal expansion.
What are the requirements of DIN EN 12392/A1 Aluminium and aluminium alloys?
The requirements of DIN Standard/A1 Aluminium and aluminium alloys are specified in two languages, German and English. The article offers a comparison of the two versions.
The German version of DIN Standard/A1 Aluminium and aluminium alloys – Wrought products and cast products that are intended for use in pressure equipment. These alloys must be free from defects such as microcracks, porosity, and inclusion of other elements that would affect their safety or strength.
The English version of this standard is more specific. It specifies the requirements for wrought products (i.e. products that are rolled out by hand) and cast products (i.e. products that are poured or moulded). These products must meet specific quality standards such as strength, endurance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability.
What are its benefits ?
The benefits of using DIN EN 12392/A1 Aluminium and aluminium alloys – Wrought products and cast products in pressure equipment include:
– Superior strength and stiffness properties
– Low weight and low density
– High dimensional stability
– Resistance to wear and tear
– Also, Excellent corrosion resistance
Who needs DIN EN 12392/A1 Aluminium and aluminium alloys?
Designers, engineers, and manufacturers of pressure equipment need to be aware of the special requirements for products that are intended for their production. This standard is known as DIN Standard/A1 and it is specific to aluminium and aluminium alloys.
The standard covers a wide range of topics, including:
– Properties of aluminium alloys
– Wrought products
– Cast products
– Pressure equipment and components made from aluminium or aluminium alloys
– Finally, Testing methods and procedures for products made from aluminium or aluminium alloys
So, If you are designing, engineering, or manufacturing pressure equipment, it is important to be familiar with the standards set by DIN EN 12392/A1. By doing so, you can ensure that your products meet the highest quality standards.
