FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) was adopted hy the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
hy the Light Metals and Their Alloys Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first puhlished in 1956 and revised in 1965, 1974 and 1986. While reviewing this standard, in
the light of experience gained during these years, the Committee decided to revise it to bring in line with the
present practices being followed by the Indian industry.
In the present revision, following modifications have been made:
a) Ten new Grades 19002,24530,26388,31200,31500B, 52300, 52300B, 65028, 74538 and 76528 have
been added.
b) A new clause on references has been incorporated.
c) Temper designations have been modified.
d) A comparison of IS and ISO designations has been given in Annex A for information for meeting
domestic and export requirements.
Characteristics and typical uses of various alloys have been given in Annex B for information.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex C.
Fur the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

7.2 Bend Test (for Malerial2.6 mm and Thinner)
Unless otherwise stated, the bend test piece shall be
not less than 15 mm wide, of convenient length. and
cut with its longer axis transverse to the direction of
rolling. The longer edges shall be carefully rounded
and smoothened longitudinally so thai the cross-section
of the test piece has approximately semi-circular ends.
7.2.1 The test piece may be bent by hand to aU-form,
and the piece thus obtained shall subsequently be
closed in a vice until the inner surfaces of the test piece
are twice the specified radius apart (or are in general
contact, if the test piece is to be closed flat).
7.2.2 When tested in accordance with 7.2.1, the outer
surface of the bend shall not show any visible crack
(see IS 1599).
8 CONDITION
The material shall be supplied in the condition as
specified by the purchaser. while specifying the
condition, the temper designation as laid down in
IS 5052 shall be followed.
9 DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES
The dimensions and tolerances of sheet and strip shall
be as given in IS 2676.
10 SELECTION OF TEST SAMPLES
10.1 Sheet and Strip of Aluminium or Non-heat
Treatable AluminiumAlloy
Material of the same thickness, produced in the same
way, and of the same nominal composition shall be
grouped into batches of not more than 4 000 kg.
However, if a sheet or strip in a single coil exceeds
4 000 kg in weight, it shall be deemed to represent one
batch.
10.1.1 Mechanical tests shall be carried ont on each
batch for determining conformity of the material to
this standard.
10.1.2 Before the test samples are cut off, they shall
be marked to identify them with the batch they
represent. The test sample shall be taken from the
material as supplied and shall not be further annealed
or mechanically worked. The test samples may be cut
and prepared from the margins of the material before
cutting it to size.
10.2 Sheet and Strip of Heat-Treatable Aluminium
Alloys
One test sample shall be cut from a sheet or strip
selected from each heat treatment batch. Before the
test samples arc cut off, they shall be marked to identify
with the heat treatment batch they represent.
2
10.2.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the test samples shall
be tested in the 0, T4 or T6 conditions (that is in the
same condition in which the material is to be supplied).
The test sample, after heat treatment, shall not be
mechanically worked before being tested.
10.2.2 Material in the '0' condition, when heat-treated,
may have properties of the order of 15 MPa less than
the specified properties for the T4 or T6 conditions as
appropriate.
10.2.2.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the tests shall be
carried out either in T4 or in T6 condition. The test
samples shall not be further heat-trealed or
mechanically worked (except for making the test piece)
before being tested. The test samples may be cut from
the margins of the material before cutting it to size.
lIRETESTS
11.1 If a lest does not give the specified results, two
additional samples from the same batch shall be
selected for testing, one of which shall be from the
sheet or strip from which the original test sample was
taken, unless that sheet or strip has been withdrawn by
the supplier. Both retests shall conform to the
requirements of this standard, otherwise, the lot shall
be rejected.
11.2 Unless otherwise agreed, the supplier shall have
the discretion to re-heat treat the material (heat-
treatable alloys), not exceeding 2 re-heat treatments,
before the two further samples are selected.
11.2.1 If a test does not give the specified results, two
additional samples from the same batch shall be
selected for testing. Both retests shall conform to the
requirements of this standard, otherwise, thelot shall
be rejected.
12 MARKING
12.1 Each package/coil of sheet(s) and strip(s) may be
suitably marked for identification, with the name of
the manufacturer, grade, condition of the material and
batch number. The supplier shall furnish a certificate
