What is BS EN 4050-4- Acceptance criteria for the metallic materials about?
BS EN 4050-4 is an international standard that discusses the test methods for metallic materials to be used in the construction of the aerospace sector.
BS EN 4050-4 specifies the acceptance criteria for products ultrasonically inspected in accordance with EN 4050-1.
Who is BS EN 4050-4- Acceptance criteria for the metallic materials for?
BS EN 4050-4 on acceptance criteria for the metallic materials is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of metallic materials
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Aeronautical engineers 
- Aerospace engineers 
- Manufacturers of bars, plates, forging stock, and forgings
- Metallurgical engineers
- Ultrasonic testing authorities
- Quality assurance personnel
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Aerospace engineers
Why should you use BS EN 4050-4- Acceptance criteria for the metallic materials?
The ultrasonic examination technique is a non-destructive methodology used to test the metals, that incorporates sound waves to detect cracks and defects in parts and materials.
BS EN 4050-4 is devoted to testing methods for metallic materials and ultrasonic inspection of bars, plates, forging stock, and forgings.
BS EN 4050-4 assists with the acceptance criteria and choice of technique using immersion, mechanized contact, and manual contact inspection. BS EN 4050-4 guides on the inspection of sheets and bars for forging.
BS EN 2573 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of metallic materials to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
By adopting BS EN 4050-4, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their metallic materials and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
