Introduction
This European Standard for copper alloy ingots, and copper and copper alloy castings is based on previous
national standards and harmonizes the compositions and mechanical properties required.
This standard does not include copper refinery shapes which are intended for working into wrought products
and are the subject of EN 1976. Neither does it include master alloys intended for the manufacture of copper
alloys which are the subject of EN 1981.
The essential information relevant to correct ordering, given in Clause 5 of the standard, is supplemented by
Annex A, which is based upon the recommended practice for the ordering and supply of castings given in
EN 1559-1. Its purpose is to assist the purchaser in providing full information to the supplier to ensure that he
supplies castings to the purchaser's intended requirements. It is recommended that full consultation takes
place between the purchaser and the supplier at the stages of enquiry and ordering.
Sampling and testing rates, where applicable, are specified in Clause 7. For certain applications, more
rigorous inspection procedures may be required. Annex B gives a range of supplementary inspection
procedures which may be invoked, at the option of the purchaser [see 5 p)].

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of
the materials. The sampling procedures and test methods for the verification of conformity to the requirements
of this standard are also specified.
This standard is applicable to:
a) copper alloy ingots intended to be remelted for the production of castings; and
b) copper and copper alloy castings which are intended for use without subsequent working other than
machining. The castings may be manufactured by the sand, permanent mould, centrifugal, continuous or
pressure die casting process.
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.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
cast
any of the following:
a) product of one furnace melt; or
b) product of one crucible melt; or
c) product of a number of furnace or crucible melts where these are aggregated and mixed prior to
sampling; or
d) production corresponding to the intervals between additions to a holding furnace of new furnace or
crucible melts (for example in permanent mould casting or pressure die casting); or
e) product from a number of consecutive melts of the same alloy through a die, in the case of continuous
casting.

3.2
batch
any of the following:
a) number of ingots taken from a single cast; or
b) number of castings of the same design produced from a single cast; or
c) portion of the output of a continuous caster during a cast.
4 Designations
4.1 Material
4.1.1 General
The material is designated either by symbol or number (see Tables 1 to 40).
4.1.2 Symbol
The material symbol designation is based on the designation system given in ISO 1190-1. A suffix -B is added
to the designation to identify material in the form of ingots and a suffix -C is added to the designation to
identify material in the form of castings (for example CuSn5Zn5Pb5-C). These suffixes also serve to avoid
confusion with wrought products of a similar alloy.
NOTE Although material symbol designations used in this standard might be the same as those in other standards
using the designation system given in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same.
4.1.3 Number
The material number designation is in accordance with the system given in EN 1412 (for example
CuSn5Zn5Pb5-C is CC491K).
4.2 Casting process
The designations used to indicate the casting processes referred to in this standard are based on those given
in ISO 1190-1, as follows:
GS sand casting;
GM permanent mould casting;
GZ centrifugal casting;
GC continuous casting;
GP pressure die casting.
4.3 Product
The product designation provides a standardized pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal
description of a product is conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international
level with regard to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard.
The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard.
The product designation for products to this standard shall consist of:
BS EN 1982:2008
EN 1982:2008 (E)
9
denomination (Ingot or Casting);
number of this European Standard (EN 1982);
material designation, either symbol or number (see Tables 1 to 40);
for castings, the casting process designation (see 4.2);
for castings, the pattern, die or drawing number, as appropriate.
The derivation of a product designation is shown in the following examples.
EXAMPLE 1 Castings conforming to this standard, in material designated either CuAl10Fe5Ni5-C or CC333G, sand
cast, pattern number XXXX, shall be designated as follows:
Casting EN 1982 — CuAl10Fe5Ni5-C — GS — XXXX
or
Casting EN 1982 — CC333G — GS — XXXX
Denomination
Number of this European Standard
Material designation
Casting process
Pattern number
EXAMPLE 2 Ingots conforming to this standard, in material designated either CuAl10Fe5Ni5-B or CB333G, shall be
designated as follows:
Ingot EN 1982 – CuAl10Fe5Ni5-B
or
Ingot EN 1982 – CB333G
5 Ordering information
In order to facilitate the enquiry, order and confirmation of order procedures between the purchaser and the
supplier, the purchaser shall state on his enquiry and order the following information:
a) quantity of product required (mass or number of castings);
b) denomination (Ingot or Casting);
c) number of this European Standard (EN 1982);
d) material
