Overview

This European Standard specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of copper and copper alloys. The sampling procedures and test methods for the verification of conformity to the requirements of this document are also specified. This European Standard is applicable to: a) copper alloy ingots intended to be remelted for later processing (such as castings); and b) copper and copper alloy castings which are intended for use without subsequent working other than machining. Recommended practice for the ordering and supply of castings is included in Annex A. Optional supplementary inspection procedures for ingots and castings are included in Annex B. Ingots are not suitable for pressure equipment applications. This document (EN 1982:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 "Copper and copper alloys" (secretariat: Germany) of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Working Committee NA 036-00-08 AA "Kupfergusslegierungen" ("Copper casting alloys") at DIN Standards Committees Foundry Practice (GINA) is responsible for the German collaboration.
