Introduction
It is essential that aluminium alloy semi-finished rolled products intended for use floor plating, e.g. in vehicle
construction, shipbuilding and metallic structures satisfy a certain number of specific technical conditions for
inspection and delivery as well as specific mechanical and other properties which distinguish them from
similar semi-finished products for general applications.

a For corrosion protection the core is covered with a layer of EN AW-7072 on both sides having thickness of 4 % of the total
thickness.
b Material supplied to that temper shall be capable of exhibiting no evidence of exfoliation corrosion and intergranular corrosion when
subjected to ASTM G66 accelerated exfoliation corrosion susceptibility test and no evidence of intergranular corrosion when subjected to
ASTM G67 (NAMLT test) (see 7.6).
c Appreciably smaller cold bend radii can be achieved immediately after solution heat treatment.
d Use of this alloy in the T4 temper for finished products should be avoided.
Sheet, strip and plate shall be capable of being bent cold through an angle of 90°, around a pin having a
radius equal to k times the specified thickness t of the sheet, strip or plate (e.g. 2,5 t) without cracking. The
values of the minimum bend radii for different alloys, tempers and thicknesses are specified in Table 1.
Compliance with the specified values and/or conduct of the test is only required when so specified on the
order document.
For the conduct of the test the provisions of EN ISO 7438 shall apply with the following additional
requirements:
the bend test shall be carried out on a specimen taken adjacent to the tensile test specimen;
the test-piece shall be taken in the transverse direction, the bend axis being parallel to the rolling
direction;
the width of the test piece shall be at least 20 mm and preferably between 40 mm and 50 mm. Its
thickness shall be the full thickness of the material (including the raised pattern);
the edges of the test-piece may be machined when practical. They may be rounded to a radius of
approximately 2 mm;
7.6 Exfoliation corrosion resistance and intergranular corrosion (5xxx series alloys)
Products made of alloys EN AW-5086 and EN AW-5083 in the H116 temper shall be capable of exhibiting no
evidence of exfoliation corrosion when subjected to ASTM G66 (ASSET test) accelerated exfoliation corrosion
susceptibility test and no evidence of intergranular corrosion when subjected to ASTM G67 (NAMLT test),
criterion according to ASTM B928.
When conducted, the test shall be carried out on full thickness test pieces. Both surfaces shall be submitted to
the test and evaluated.
For lot-acceptance purposes, the acceptability of each lot of products made of alloys EN AW-5086
and EN AW-5083 shall be determined by the manufacturer, either testing each lot to the ASTM G66 and
ASTM G67 standards or by metallographic examination of one specimen per lot selected from midsection at
one end of a random sheet, plate or coil, using the following procedure:
a section perpendicular to the rolling surface and parallel to the rolling direction shall be polished
(preferably electrolytic polish) and then microetched for 3 min, using a solution of 40 ml 85 % phosphoric
acid in 60 ml distilled water, at 35 °C ± 5 °C;
the revealed microstructure shall be predominantly free of a continuous grain boundary network of
aluminium-magnesium precipitate (Al3Mg2).
Reference photomicrographs shall be established on acceptable material (according to ASTM G66), for each
thickness range specified in Table 1. Production practices shall not be changed after establishment of the
references.
Significant changes in production practices that alter the microstructures of the alloy shall require the
establishment of new reference photomicrographs as described above.
The manufacturer shall maintain at the producing facility all records relating to the establishment of reference
photomicrographs and production practices.
The raised pattern height is the difference, h, between the maximum thickness reading to the top of the figure
and the thickness of an adjacent non raised area (see Figure 6). The nominal heights and the tolerances on
nominal height of the raised pattern are specified in Table 2.

lightweight straightedge and a feeler gauge, dial gauge or scale, while the sheet or plate is resting on a
horizontal base plate concave side upwards.
Other procedures for measuring flatness may be used. However, in case of dispute, the preceding method
shall be used.
