Why should you use BS EN 3476- Steel FE-PL1501 for aerospace series?
Steel is a hard and tough metal made by treating iron with extreme heat and mixing carbon with it. The mechanical and other properties of the alloy, differ with the change in the composition of the elements used in it, and hence, their application changes accordingly.
BS EN 3476 is part of the series of EN metallic material standards for aerospace applications. The general organization of this series is described in EN 4258. BS EN 3476 has been prepared in accordance with EN 4500-5.
BS EN 3476 assists with the material designation, chemical composition, method of melting, and method of production. It covers all the requirements for steel products, air-melted and softened steel products, and steel forgings.
BS EN 3476 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of steel products to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
By adopting BS EN 3476, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their steel products and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
