Full title and description

ISO 6363-2:2022 — Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys — Cold-drawn rods/bars, tubes and wires — Part 2: Mechanical properties. This international standard specifies mechanical-property requirements (tensile strength, 0.2 % proof stress, elongation and related rules) for wrought aluminium and aluminium-alloy products that have been extruded and then cold drawn for general engineering applications (exclusions and special cases are listed in the standard).

Abstract

ISO 6363-2:2022 sets limits and test/measurement conventions for mechanical properties of cold‑drawn wrought aluminium products intended for general engineering use (excluding e.g. aeronautical rivets, electrical conductors and certain drawing/forging stock). The document provides tables of guaranteed values by alloy and temper and gives rules for specimen selection, gauge length for elongation and rounding of results.

Scope

Applies to wrought aluminium and aluminium‑alloy rods, bars, tubes and wires which are extruded and then cold drawn for general engineering applications. It does not apply to products rolled then cold drawn (including seam‑welded tubes), forging stock, wire for drawing stock, or drawn wires specifically for aeronautical, electrical or welding purposes. The part defines the mechanical property requirements and the conditions under which they apply.

Key topics and requirements

• Guaranteed mechanical properties by alloy and temper: tensile strength (Rm), 0.2 % proof stress (Rp0.2) and elongation (A) with values presented in tables for rods/bars, tubes and wires.
• Temper and alloy designation conventions (temper designations referenced to relevant ISO designation systems) and notes on when specific temper properties apply.
• Rules for specimen selection, gauge length conventions for elongation measurements and rounding of test results.
• Dimensional/size limits for which particular property values apply (tables indicate diameter/section-size ranges associated with property limits).
• Specific exclusions and special agreements (when values may be supplied by special agreement between supplier and purchaser).

Typical use and users

Used by aluminium‑product manufacturers (extruders, drawing mills), materials and quality engineers specifying or verifying cold‑drawn aluminium components, purchasers and procurement specialists who need to specify mechanical requirements, testing laboratories performing tensile and elongation tests, and design engineers selecting aluminium sections for mechanical applications.

Related standards

ISO 6363 is a multipart series; related parts cover technical delivery/inspection conditions and tolerances on form and dimensions (e.g., ISO 6363‑1 — technical conditions for inspection and delivery — and other parts of ISO 6363 covering tolerances). ISO/TC 79/SC 6 is the responsible technical committee. Users commonly interpret ISO 6363‑2 together with the corresponding "conditions of delivery" part in the ISO 6363 series and with standards referenced within (test methods such as relevant ISO tensile‑test standards).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 6363‑2:2022 is an ISO international standard that specifies the mechanical‑property requirements for extruded then cold‑drawn wrought aluminium and aluminium‑alloy rods, bars, tubes and wires for general engineering applications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers guaranteed values and acceptance rules for tensile strength, 0.2 % proof stress and elongation (including relevant gauge‑length conventions and rounding rules), and lists the applicability by alloy, temper and size ranges; it also lists exclusions (for example, rolled‑then‑cold‑drawn products, wire for drawing stock and certain specialized drawn wires).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aluminium extruders and drawing mills, product designers, quality and materials engineers, testing laboratories, and procurement/specification authors who need standardized mechanical property limits for cold‑drawn aluminium components.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current — the 2022 edition (Edition 3) supersedes earlier editions (for example the 2012 and 1993 editions). Publication date: 1 July 2022.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 6363 is a multipart series covering cold‑drawn wrought aluminium products; other parts address inspection/delivery conditions and tolerances on form and dimensions (e.g., ISO 6363‑1 and other numbered parts). Users should consult the relevant part(s) together when specifying or accepting material.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Key keywords include: mechanical properties, tensile strength, proof stress, elongation, cold‑drawn, extruded, wrought aluminium, rods, bars, tubes, wires, temper, ISO 6363‑2.
