References to standards and general restrictions
1.1
General Purchasing Conditions
The general purchasing conditions apply, which may be mailed
on request, as well as the framework and quality agreements.
1.2
Standard
The standard to which these alloy specifications frequently refer is DIN EN 1676, in the version valid at each
time (at the time this specification
is issued: Issue June 2010).
1.3
Material testing
1.3.1
Testing at supplier s/ manufacturer s
Sampling and testing shall be executed in accordance with internal
specifications laid down in writing, usually simultaneously with the casting,
over a representative cross section of the batch produced. All
individual results must lie within the limits of these alloy specifications.
The necessary quality requirements must be ensured by means of suitable testing and monitoring procedures and documented for later reference.
1.3.2
Testing of chemical composition at handtmann
For block material, the testing is done batch-related by means of
a spectral analysis over a representative cross section of disks taken from the
pig. In case
of doubt, approx. 0.5 kg of a pig
may be remolten and cast as a sample (plate test)
for a subsequent spectral analysis.
From each incoming liquid metal container a sample is taken and a plate test made, for a later spectral analysis.
Testing may be dynamized, i.e. increased, reduced or set to skip lot .
1.4
Rounding rules (to DIN EN 1780-3)
The test results of the chemical analyses must indicate
the number
reflecting the result for
each of the elements specified
in these alloy specifications
with
at least the same number of decimal points as the respective number
in the alloy specifications to which reference is made.
The following rounding rules apply:
a)
If
the digit
immediately behind
the last digit
to be kept is smaller than 5, the
last digit
to be kept remains unchanged. (e.g. in the case of one
decimal, 0.14 becomes 0.1);
b)
If the digit
immediately behind
the last digit
to be kept is larger than 5 or is 5, and is followed by at least one more digit
that is not zero, the last digit
to be kept will be increased by one (e.g. in the case of
2 decimals: 1.0451 becomes 1.05);
c)
If the digit immediately behind
the last digit
to be kept is 5 and is only followed by zeros, the last digit
to be kept remains unchanged, provided it is an even number, and is increased
by one if it is an uneven number (e.g. in the case of two decimals: 0.3550 becomes
0.36 or 0.3450 becomes
0.34).
The rounded figure may not exceed the limit values.

All indications referring to
the
composition apply in weight percentage.
1.6
Testing for radioactive radiation at the supplier s
Testing must be done on the material ready for shipping. The contents of the Ordinance
for
the protection from ionizing
radiation damage (Radiation Protection Ordinance)
apply,
in the version valid at each time,
as
issued by the Federal
Ministry for Environment, Environmental Protection and Reactor Safety.

Inspection
certificate, origin of goods
and environmental protection
2.1
Inspection certificate to DIN EN 10204
An inspection certificate 3.1 (alternatively a German Abnahmeprüfzeugnis or French Certificat de reception 3.1) shall be enclosed with every delivery, regardless if in ingot
or liquid form.
Excerpt from DIN EN 10204:
Inspection certificates 3.1 confirm that the goods supplied conform to
the purchase order, indicating the results of the specific tests carried out.
A person
commissioned by the manufacturer,
who is
independent of the production department, shall confirm this certificate.
One inspection certificate 3.1 per shipment
shall suffice.
2.2
Contents of inspection certificate
2.2.1
Purchase order number / part number
Metal goods flows are controlled via a PPS system. An
indication of the PO number and the part number, which must be clearly evident from the purchase order, is therefore manda-tory. Failure to indicate the PO number and the part number may lead to mistakes during data
entry, which may seriously affect our metal inventory
and interfere with
commercial processing.
2.2.2
Alloy specifications
The inspection certificate 3.1 to DIN EN 10204 must be enclosed with every manufactured batch and
contain
the chemical composition of the elements given in this alloy specification, also the elements/parameters indicted under section 1.8 (general restrictions) as well as
all other requirement (e.g. temperature at delivery, state structure etc.) if prescribed.
2.2.3
Radioactive radiation
If material ready for shipping does not show an increased radioactive radiation exceeding the natural radiation (background contamination), a written confirmation of this condition is sufficient.
However, if the radioactive radiation of material ready for shipping
is above the background contamination, the value measured
must be indicated in
mSv/a (Millisievert per annum)
or Sv/h (Microsievert per hour). However, if it does not exceed the limit value indicated in para.1.8, it is also permissible to indicate the
maximum
permissible
value (e.g. < 1 mSv/a
or <0.12 Sv/h).

2.3
Origin of goods
The origin of the goods must be indicated in the documents provided, indicating the production location and the name of the producer.
2.3.1
Producer / production location
The origin of the goods, together with the production location and the name of the producer, must be indicated in the documents provided.
2.3.2
Ban on raw materials from conflict countries
No materials from countries in conflict, that is raw materials such as tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, may be used for the production of aluminum; or if used, must come with documentation evidencing that they originate from conflict-free countries. Conflict-free materials are raw materials
that do not finance, either directly or indirectly, armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighboring countries by mining or trade.
2.4
Environmental protection
The stacks must be bound with aluminum
straps, or alternatively
with plastic straps; plastic hoods are not allowed
Exceptions
(only for continuous casting)
Either Fe-straps, or
additional plastic hoods (in connection with Al or plastic straps)
are permissible
Corrosion on the ingots supplied is
not permitted
Note for melting facilities of the Handtmann company
Plastic straps may be melted together with the metal only if an approval from the competent authority is available for the melting furnaces.
In all other cases the plastic straps must be disposed of separately and in accordance with the local regulations!

Supplier quality monitoring
(Excerpt from the handtmann internal procedures for supplier evaluation)
7.1 Terms
Supplier evaluation:
Systematic evaluation of each shipment
supplied by a supplier and allocation to a category according to the supplier s quality capability.
Supplier evaluation score (LB):
Score between +1 and +100 points, showing the supplier s quality capability.
Quality rating (P):
The rating awarded each
incoming consignment /batch, P1 to P4 as an indication of its quality.
Quality
factor (F):
Multiplier
dedicated to the quality rating (P).
Quality group:
Each supplier is allocated
to a group, ranging from A to
C. Is
in direct conjunction with
supplier evaluation score.
7.2
Responsibilities
The department TFE is responsible
for carrying out and documenting the raw material supplier evaluation (Here: Aluminum block
and liquid aluminum).
7.3
Description regarding the evaluation of product quality
7.3.1
Supplier quality monitoring
Every shipment/batch is checked and evaluated on the basis of specifications, in this case the handtmann
Alloy Specifications.
The result of the evaluation of each individual shipment or batch is the quality rating.
P1
=
Shipment is fully compliant
P2
=
Shipment has
a
minor non-compliance, the goods may be used without requiring further action
P3
=
Shipment has a major
non-compliance; the goods may not be used without further action, e.g.
mixing
with other batches or alloying.
P4
=
Shipment is grossly defective, it may not be used due to the existing
defects.
Al Alloy specification
Issue 2017-01 Page 15
of 45
7.3.2
Criteria for the determination of the quality rating
Quality ratings are allocated by the TFE Materials Testing and are determined on the basis of the following criteria:
Rating 1
Shipment without complaints
will be allocated:
if the shipment corresponds with the current alloy specifications in all aspects
if any non-compliance was announced before
the shipment of the material, approved by handtmann
and if the non-compliance was confirmed after materials
receipt during the incoming goods inspection.
Rating 2
Shipment has a minor non-conformance
will be allocated
If the chemical composition is outside the current alloy specifications, but still within DIN EN 1706 or a valid production standard, and may be accepted;
if an approved deviation cannot be
confirmed;
if the purchase order number indicated on the shipping documents does not correspond with the purchase order
or is altogether missing;
if the color markings are not in order;
if the stack bundling and/or the stack condition does not meet the requirements.
Rating 3
shipment has a major non-compliance
will be allocated if
the chemical composition is outside DIN EN 1706 or a valid production standard, but can be corrected from an alloy point of view, e.g. by mixing two batches or alloying of the missing element. For this kind of additional work the approval of the production manager must always be obtained.
if a minor non-compliance (rating 2) reoccurs after a written notification
Rating 4
shipment is grossly defective
will be allocated:
if the chemical composition is outside DIN EN 1706 or a valid production standard and cannot be corrected by alloying.
7.3.3
Quality factor
The quality rating awarded the shipment/batch is multiplied by the appurtenants quality factor F to determine the supplier evaluation score LB.

7.3.5
Quality group
The supplier evaluation is done on a six-monthly basis, by 30 June/31 Dec of each year and will, if necessary or requested by the supplier, be sent to the supplier by the Handtmann Purchasing Dept.
Group A LB = 100 -
90.1
Supplier with continuously good quality.
Group B LB = 90
-
80.1
Supplier with fluctuating quality level.
Supplier evaluation will be sent to supplier.
Group C LB = 80 and below
Supplier with insufficient quality level.
Supplier evaluation will be sent to supplier, supplier will be put on hold in supplier approval list.
7.3.6
Special actions
If required,
a supplier evaluation may be issued for any period of time
a hit list of all suppliers may be prepared, in any
desired order
a long-term record may be prepared. For metal suppliers, the usual period is 15 years.
7.3.7
Audit at the supplier s
Purchasing will initiate QSP`s
auditing of a supplier
for
the following reasons:
Qualification of a supplier who was put in quality group C during
the six-monthly supplier evaluation.
During the current evaluation period of ½ year,
shipments were in several instances awarded quality rating P3 or lower.
Procurement of the product from a
supplier if this product requires auditing as an appropriate quality control action, e.g. because
the
product is defective and caused high damage incidents or because the product is in any other way important for Handtmann.
If requested
by handtmann
customers
in all other justified cases.
