What is BS EN 3475-514 - Porosity of copper cladding on aluminium strands about?
BS EN 3475 is a European standard on test methods for electrical cables for aircraft use.
BS EN 3475-514 specifies an assessment method of the copper porosity on copper clad aluminium strands with or without external coating or nickel or silver copper clad aluminium conductors for proper assessment of aluminium strands.
BS EN 3475-514 shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
Who is BS EN 3475-514 - Porosity of copper cladding on aluminium strands for?
BS EN 3475-514 on porosity of copper cladding on aluminium strands is useful for:
- Manufacturers of aluminium strands
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Quality control personnel of electrical cables
Why should you use BS EN 3475-514 - Porosity of copper cladding on aluminium strands?
Porosity is a result of discontinuities that expose the underplate or base metal and originates during the manufacturing process.
BS EN 3475-514 provides you with the guidelines on preparing test specimens and testing procedures of copper porosity on copper clad aluminium strands for preventing damage.
BS EN 3475-514 also provides requirements for testing copper porosity on aluminium strands. This assists in creating a standardized approach for manufacturers of aluminium strands to adhere to if they supply aluminium strands to the aerospace and defence industries.
By adopting BS EN 3475-514, you can enhance the efficacy of aluminium strands and assist manufacturers in demonstrating their reliability and building trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
