BS EN 13920-11:2003 – Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Scrap — Part 11: Scrap consisting of aluminium-copper radiators
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies characteristics and chemical composition of scrap consisting of aluminium-copper radiators with a copper content sufficiently high to allow its use as alloying material in the production of aluminium alloys.
Example Prepared radiators from vehicles, refrigerators or from other industrial equipment.
