What is BS EN 2032-001 - Metallic materials for aerospace applications about?
Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. The delivery of high-quality components contributes to the safety of those on board. The EN 4258 series focuses on metallic materials standards for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2032-001 specifies the rules for establishing the conventional designation of unalloyed, commercially pure, and alloyed metallic materials used for aerospace applications.
Note: Information relating to former ASD-STAN designations for nickel base or cobalt base alloys, steel, commercially pure titanium, and titanium base alloys, is contained in Annex (informative).
Who is BS EN 2032-001 - Metallic materials for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 2032-001 on Metallic materials for aerospace applications is useful for:
- The aerospace and defence industry
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Vendors / Manufacturers and suppliers of metallic materials for aerospace
- Purchase divisions / component sourcing personnel
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 2032-001 - Metallic materials for aerospace applications?
A typical jet built today is as little as 20% pure aluminum. Most of the non-critical structural material – paneling and aesthetic interiors – now consist of even lighter-weight carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and honeycomb materials. Meanwhile, for engine parts and critical components, there is a simultaneous push for lower weight and higher temperature resistance for better fuel efficiency, bringing new or previously impractical-to-machine metals into the aerospace material mix.
BS EN 2032-001 provides you with conventional designations of metallic materials for aerospace so that the products are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 2032-001 contribute towards including high-quality components for aerospace that are responsible for smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
