Aluminium standards guide: ASTM scopes by product

Technical library

Published scope notes help you shortlist the right specification. Before you buy, confirm its edition and that it actually applies to your product.

Pick the specification that governs your order

Begin with how the part is made and in what form. Drawn tube, extrusions and forgings are often covered by different standards. The document you choose must also include your alloy, temper, sizes and inspection needs. Name the edition in your purchase order and agree it with the supplier.

A matching scope does not prove compliance

A scope summary points you to a likely standard, but it cannot show that any material or supplier meets it. Check the full chemistry, mechanical, tolerance and acceptance clauses in a licensed copy.
