Die casting aluminum alloys
1 Scope
This document specifies the designation and code, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, quality certificate, packaging, transportation and storage of die casting aluminum alloys.
This document is applicable to the production and inspection of die casting aluminum alloy materials (aluminum liquid and aluminum ingot).
2 Normative references
The following documents contain requirements which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 5611 apply.
4 Alloy designation and code
4.1 Representation of alloy designation
The designation of die casting aluminum alloys is composed of the chemical symbols of aluminum and main alloying elements. The main alloying element is followed by a number indicating its nominal mass fraction, which is the round-off integer of this element's average mass fraction.
The letters "YZ" ["Y" and "Z" are respectively the first letters of Chinese phonetic alphabets "Ya" and "Zhu" (die casting)] added before the alloy designation indicates that it is a die casting one.
4.2 Representation of alloy code
For an alloy code, "YL" ["Y" and "Z" are respectively the first letters of Chinese phonetic alphabets "Ya" and "Zhu" (die casting)] represent die casting aluminum alloys, and the first numbers after "YL" are 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively represent Al-Si, AI-Cu, AI-Mg, and AI-Zn series alloys, representing the code of the alloy. The second and third numbers after "YL" are sequence numbers.
