Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Castings - Chemical composition and mechanical properties

This standard specifies the chemical composition limits for aluminium casting alloys and mechanical properties of separately cast test bars for these alloys. As a guide to the selection of alloys for a specific use or process, annex A "Comparison of casting characteristics mechanical and other properties", is included for information only.
