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.

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


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).


Issue 2017-01

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!

(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


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.


Issue 2017-01

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.
