GB/T 1196-2023 in English

1. Background and significance of the standard

GB/T 1196—2023 is a national standard of the People's Republic of China, with the full name of "Aluminum Ingots for Remelting". This standard was issued in 2023, replacing the old version of the standard (GB/T 1196—2017) in 2017, and is mainly applicable to aluminum ingots for remelting produced by alumina-cryolith molten salt electrolysis.

2. Background of standard formulation

The revision of this standard reflects the progress of technology and quality management in my country's non-ferrous metal industry. Compared with the old version, the new version of the standard has made many improvements in chemical composition, inspection rules, etc. to meet the needs of the modern aluminum processing industry for high-quality aluminum ingots.

4. Interpretation of technical requirements

5. Implementation suggestions

To ensure compliance with the requirements of the new standard, enterprises should take the following measures:

• Update the internal quality management system documents and clarify the technical indicators of each brand of aluminum ingot.
• Optimize the production process, pay special attention to the control of chemical composition, and ensure that trace elements such as V and Ti meet the new version of the standard.
• Strengthen inspection capabilities and equip with advanced spectral analysis equipment (such as the method recommended by GB/T 7999) to ensure the accuracy of chemical composition detection.
• Negotiate with suppliers to clarify appearance quality requirements to avoid product failures due to surface defects.

6. Conclusion

The implementation of GB/T 1196-2023 will promote the remelting aluminum ingot industry in my country to move towards higher quality and standardization. Enterprises should actively adapt to the requirements of the new standard to ensure that product quality meets market demand.
