GLOSSARY OF TERMS
RELATING TO ALUMINIUM AND
ALUMINIUM ALLOYS
PART 1 UNWROUGHT AND WROUGHT METALS

( Second Revision)

o. FOR E WORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) ( Second 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 (Part 1 ) was originally published in 1969 and
subsequently revised in 1979. In this revision the definitions of several
terms have been modified and some more terms commonly used in
aluminium industry have been included.
0.3 Glossary of terms relating to aluminium and aluminium alloys have
been divided in three parts covering different subjects in a logical
sequence. This standard dealing with unwrought and wrought metals
( main and special types) forms Part I of the series. The other parts in
the series are as follows:

Part 2 Plant and operations, thermal treatment, control and testing,

finishing
Part 3 Geometrical properties and tolerance, structural and surface
defects

0.4 This standard is intended mainly to cover technical definitions of

terms relating to aluminium and ~Iuminium alloys and it does not
necessarily include all the legal meanings of the terms. It is hoped that
this standard will help in establishing a general recognized usage for
various terms encountered in the aluminium industry and eliminate any
confusion which may sometimes arise due to individual interpretation of
terms used in industry.
