European foreword
This document (EN 1676:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 “Aluminium
and aluminium alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2020, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by October 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licences on
standardized products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions, then this product shall be
removed from the corresponding standard.
This document supersedes EN 1676:2010.
Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 entrusted CEN/TC 132/WG 23
“Revision of EN 1676 and EN 1706” to revise EN 1676:2010.
In comparison with EN 1676:2010, the following significant changes were made:
a) In Table 1, the following alloys were deleted:
1) EN AB-21200 [EN AB-Al Cu4MnMg];
2) EN AB-43100 [EN AB-Al Si10Mg(b)].
b) In Table 1, the following new alloys were added:
1) EN AB-42300 [EN AB-Al Si7(Mg)];
2) EN AB-42400 [EN AB-Al Si7MnMg];
3) EN AB-44600 [EN AB-Al Si10Mn];
4) EN AB-45600 [EN AB-Al Si7Cu1Mg0,6];
5) EN AB-47200 [EN AB-Al Si12(Fe)];
6) EN AB-48200 [EN AB-Al Si15Cu3MgFe].
c) In Table 1, the maximum limit for lead was reduced to 0,29 %.

4 Ordering information
The order document shall define the product required and shall contain the following information:
a) designation of the aluminium alloy according to this document (or the purchaser code after
agreement between the supplier and the purchaser);
b) form of the product;
c) quantity:
1) mass (in metric tonnes);
2) tolerance quantity, if required;

certificates;
e) any additional requirements agreed between the supplier and the purchaser, such as metallurgical
structure, samples, delivery details, etc.
5 Requirements
5.1 Production and manufacturing processes
Unless otherwise specified in the order document, the production and manufacturing processes shall be
left to the discretion of the producer.
Unless it is explicitly stated in the order document, no obligation shall be placed on the manufacturer to
use the same processes for subsequent and similar orders. However, the supplier should inform the

5.2 Quality control
The supplier shall be responsible for carrying out all inspection and tests required by the relevant
European Standard and/or the particular specification, prior to shipment of the product. If the
purchaser wishes to inspect the product at the supplier's works, he shall stipulate this at the time of
placing the order.
5.3 Chemical composition
Each grade of alloyed aluminium ingot for remelting shall be in accordance with the designations and
chemical composition specified in Table 1.
NOTE For unalloyed aluminium ingots, see EN 576.
For alloys that are not in Table 1, the writing rules for designations and chemical compositions, as
specified in EN 1780-1, EN 1780-2 and EN 1780-3, shall be applied.
If the purchaser requires content limits for elements not specified in this document, these limits shall be
stated on the order document, after agreement between supplier and purchaser.
