Why should you use BS EN 3969- Steel FE-PL1507 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 3969 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 3969 has been prepared in accordance with EN 4500-5.
BS EN 3969 assists with the material designation, chemical composition, method of melting, and method of production. BS EN 3969 covers all the requirements for steel products, air-melted products, and steel forgings for the special purpose of aerospace applications.
BS EN 3969 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 3969, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their steel products and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
