SjECIFICATION. FOR
WROUGHT ALUMINIUM AND
ALUMINIUM ALLOY PLATE FOR
GENERAL ENGINEERING PURPOSES
f Third Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 25 November 1986, after the draft finalized by the
Light Metals and Their Alloys Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issuedin 1956 and subsequently revisedin 1966
and 1974. Further revision became necessary as number of new alloys
which have found wide applications in engineering industries were required
to be included. Tables on requirements for mechanical properties were
reviewed and modified wherever necessary. The main modifications which
have been made in this revision are as follows:
a) Aluminium of 99.6 percent purity and aluminium alloy 53000 have
been added.
b) Code of alloy designations given in IS : 6051-1970* have been
adopted in this standard. The relevant extract from the standard
for designating wrought alumirium and aluminium alloys is given
in Appendix A.
0.3 Some characteristic and typical uses of the alloys specified in this
standard have been listed in Appendix B.
0.4 The major alloying elements have been printed in heavy type in the
chemical composition ( see Table 1 ).
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-196Oy. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

IS:736-1986
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for wrought aluminium and
aluminium alloy plates for general engineering purposes.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions, as given in
IS : 5047 ( Part 1 )-1986* and IS : 5047 ( Part 2 )-1979* shall apply.
2.1 Plate - Hot or cold rolled product of rectangular section, 6.0 mm
thick and thicker. It may be either in straight length or in coil form. It
has less control of surface finish and tolerance then applied to sheet.
2.2 Heat Treatment Batch - A quantity of material of one alloy of the
same dimensions and produced in the same way, solution-treated and
subsequently precipitation treated in one furnace load. More than one
heat-treatment batch may comprise a furnace load.
3. SUPPLY OF MATERIAL
3.1 General requirements relating to the supply of aluminium and alumi-
nium alloy plate shall conform to IS : 10259-1982t.
5. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
5.1 The chemical composition of the aluminium and saluminium alloys
used for the plates shall be as per Table 1.
5.2 The chemical composition of the material shall be determined either
in accordance with IS : 504-1963: or any other instrumental/chemical
method of analysis. In case of dispute, the method specified in IS : 504
1963: shall be used as the referee method.
6. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
6.1 The mechanical properties of the plate shall comply with the require-
ments given in Table 2.

6.2 The tensile test shall be carried out and proof stress determined there-
by in accordance with IS : 1816-1979*.
6.3 The tensile test piece shall be of rectangular section and having the
dimensions as given l I IS : 1816-1979* with a gauge length of SO mm. The
test piece shall be cut transverse to the direction of rolling for plates 300mm
wide and over, and parallel to the direction of rolling for plates under
300 mm wide. When the width of the material to be tested is insu5cient
to permit prepar;dt,ion of the standard tensile test piece, a piece of the full
width of material may be used.
7. CONDITION
7.1 The material shall be supplied in the condition as required by the
purchaser. While specifying the condition, the temper designations laid
down in IS : 5052-1969t shall be followed;
*Method for tensile test for light metals and their alloys ( first revisfon).
+Temper designations of aluminium and its alloys.
$Dimensions for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys, platea and hot rolled
sheets (first rcvisidn ).

are cut off, they shall be marked to identify them with the heat-treatment
batch they represent.
10, RETESTS
10.1 Should any of the test pieces first selected failto pass the mechanical
test, two further samples from the same batch shall be selected for testing.
10.2 For heat-treatable alloys, the supplier shall have the right if he so
desires, to reheat-treat the material before the two further samples are
selected.
10.3 Should the test pieces from both-these additional samples pass, the
batch represented by the test samples shall be deemed to comply with this
standard. Should the test pieces from either of these additional samples
fail, the batch represented by the test samples shall be deemed not to
comply with this standard.
11. MARKING
1I.l Each package/coil of plate(s) may he suitably marked for identification,
with the name of the manufacturer, grade and condition of- the material
and batch number. The supplier shall furnish a certificate that the
material supplied complies with the requirements of this specification.

IS:736-1986
11.1.1 The material may also be marked Hiith the Standard Mark.
NOTE- The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provision$ of the Bureau
of Indian Standards Act, 1986 and-the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The
Standard Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance
that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under
a well defined system of inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and
supervised by BIS and operated by the producer. Standard marked products are also
continuously checked by BIS for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard.
Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of the Standard Mark may be
granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian
Standards.
