in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

( Third Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 25 August 1983, 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 issued in 1956 and subsequently revised in
1967 and 1975. Further revision became necessary as three new materials
were required to be included as they found wide application in different
industries. The main modifications made in the standard are as follows:
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers requirements for wrought aluminium and
aluminium alloy bars, rods and sections for general engineering purposes.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 5047-
( Part 1 )-1979 to IS : 5047 ( Part 3 )-1979* shall apply. Some of the
important definitions are reproduced below for ready reference.
2.1.1 Bars - Any solid section other than round, that is long in relation
to cross section and whose width or greatest distance between parallel
faces is greater than 6 mm.
3. SUPPLY OF MATERIAL
3.1. General requirements for the supply of aluminium and aluminium
alloy products shall conform to IS : 1387-1967t.
c
IS : 733 - 1983
6. CONDITION
7.1 The dimensions of bars, rods and sections and their tolerances shall
be as laid down in IS : 3965-1981:.
8.1 Bars, rods and sections of the same dimensions, produced in the
same way, and of the same composition, shall be grouped into lots as
follows:
Diameter or Equivalent Aluminium and Heat- Treatable
Cross Sectibn Non-heat Treatable Aluminium Alloys
r---- -h_____~ Alloys
Over Up to-and
Including
mm mm kg kg
10 500 1 000

20 50 1.500 2 000
50 - 2 000 2 000

IS : 733 - 1983
8.2 One test sample shall be cut from a bar, rod or section selected from
each lot.
8.2.2 11eforc any of the test samples arc cut off, they shall be marked
to idcntlfy them with the lot or heat-treatment batch they represent.
8.3.3 For material supplied in the W condition, the test samples shall
be tested in the condition as supplied in the straightened and stretched
condition, unless the purchaser has specified that he required the test
sample to be tested in the WP condition The test samples shall not be
mechanically worked ( except by straightening and machining to the
shape of the test piece ) before they are tested.
9. MECHANICAL TEST
9.1 Tensile Test - The tensile test shall be carried out and the proof
stress determined thereby in accordance with IS : 1816-1979*.
10. RETESTS
10.1 Should any one of the test pieces first selected fail to pass the
mechanical test, two further samples from the same lot shall be selected
for testing, one of which shall be from the coil or length from which the
original test sample was taken, unless the coil or length has been with-
drawn by the supplier.

NOTE 1 - It is the responsibility of the supplier to ensure that any element not specifically limited is not present in an amount such as is generally accepted
as having an adverse effect on the product. .If a purchasers requirements necessitate limits for any element not specified these should be agreed to between
!hc supplier and the purchaser.

10.1.1 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.
10.1.2 Should the test pieces from both these additional samples pass,
the lot represented by the test samples shall be deemed to comply with
the requirements of mechanical properties, Should a test piece from
either of these additional samples fail, the lot represented by the test
samples shall be deeined not to comply with this standard.
11. MARKING
11.1 Each lot of bar, rod or section shall be suitably mar;ked for identifi-
cation, with the name of the manufacturer, alloy designation and
condition of the material. If required by the purchaser, the supplier
shall furnish a certificate that the material supplied complies with the
requirements of this specification.
