2. Electrochemical behavior of aluminum alloys
2.1 Alloy composition
Aluminum alloys are designated by a four-digit number followed by the heat treatment reference (nomenclature set by the Aluminum Association). The first digit designates the main alloying element, i.e. the most concentrated. This designation has been standardized by the
NF EN 573
Aluminum alloys used in foundries are defined by the designation detailed in the following standards
