What is BS EN 3052 - Hexagonal head bolts about?
BS EN 3052 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers bolts, normal hexagonal head, close tolerance normal shank, short thread, in heat and corrosion resisting steel.
BS EN 3052 specifies the characteristics of bolts, normal hexagonal head, close tolerance normal shank, short thread, in heat and corrosion resisting steel, passivated.
Who is BS EN 3052 - Hexagonal head bolts for?
BS EN 3052 on hexagonal head bolts is useful for: 
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Hexagonal head bolts manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3052 - Hexagonal head bolts?
Hexagonal Bolts are bolt fasteners with six sided hexagon head and externally threaded body. Hexagonal head profile enables easy wrenching while putting enough torque to the bolting joint. Hex bolts are used with hex nuts or a tapped hole. Hexagon head bolts, Hex machine bolts are other alias of Hex bolts.
Hex bolts can be used in tight spaces to secure wood, metal, plastic and other materials. Hex bolts are commonly used in buildings, bridges, docks and highway structures, but you can find hex bolts in all industries and all homes.
Steel has a certain resistance against corrosion. This so-called passivity is due to a thin and invisible layer of oxides being formed on the surface. This process takes place through a reaction between the metal and the oxygen in the surrounding environment.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 3052 walks you through the characteristics of bolts, normal hexagonal head, close tolerance normal shank, short thread, in heat and corrosion resisting steel, passivated. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
