Overview

EN 2032-001:2014 - Aerospace series - Metallic materials - Part 001: Conventional designation (CEN) defines the rules for establishing conventional designations for unalloyed, commercially pure and alloyed metallic materials used in aerospace applications. It sets a consistent alphanumeric system that identifies materials by their basic chemical composition, production method or intended use (structural or joining), and a serial identifier. The standard is part of the EN aerospace metallic materials series and links with EN 4258.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Applies to metallic materials for aerospace components (structural and joining materials). Annexes provide informative details on former ASD‑STAN designations for nickel/cobalt alloys, steels and titaniums.
  • Designation structure: The conventional designation uses grouped characters (letters, digits, dashes) to represent:
    • A three-character group for the base metal symbol (ISO 80000-9) written in uppercase.
    • A five-character group encoding the basic chemical composition (significant alloying elements) and a serial number.
    • A single character indicating method of production (structural materials) or use (joining materials).
  • Method/use letters: C = cast, P = cast + wrought, R = powder metallurgy; W = filler metal for welding, B = filler metal for brazing.
  • Unalloyed and commercially pure metals: Use a specific five-digit format beginning with the letter U and a numeric code for percentage purity (examples and rules in clause 5.1).
  • Aluminium alloys: Non-cast aluminium designations reference the Aluminum Association coding (examples: AL-P1050A, AL-R5091-). Cast aluminium follows EN 1780-1 conventions with an aerospace serial character.
  • Steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, titanium: Names and material numbers are formed in accordance with EN 10027‑1 / EN 10027‑2 and EN 10020 rules; ASD‑STAN conventions for older designations are kept in informative annexes.
  • Uniqueness rule: A conventional designation is intended to uniquely identify one basic chemical composition; serial numbers are incremented when compositions change.

Applications and users

  • Who uses it: aerospace materials engineers, metallurgists, procurement specialists, OEMs, suppliers of structural components and filler metals, testing laboratories, and standards committees.
  • Practical use cases:
    • Standardizing material labels across suppliers and national standards.
    • Specifying material requirements in drawings, procurement documents and material data sheets.
    • Ensuring consistent identification of cast, wrought and powder metallurgy forms, and of welding/brazing filler metals.
    • Mapping legacy ASD‑STAN designations to current EN conventions (informative annexes).

Related standards

  • EN 4258 (organization of metallic material standards)
  • EN 1780‑1 (aluminium cast designation)
  • EN 4500‑001 (rules for drafting material standards)
  • EN 10020, EN 10027‑1 / EN 10027‑2 (steel naming/numbering)
  • TR 3900 (relationship between AECMA designation systems)
  • ISO 80000‑9 (base metal symbols and units)

Keywords: EN 2032-001:2014, aerospace metallic materials, conventional designation, aluminium designation, ASD-STAN, filler metals, steels, titanium, nickel alloys, brazing, welding.
