Overview
EN 2450:2025 - Aerospace series - Steel 31NiMoCr10-5-3 - 1 230 MPa ≤ Rm ≤ 1 420 MPa - Bars - De ≤ 40 mm is a CEN/ASD‑STAN standard (ASD‑STAN designation: FE‑PL73) specifying material, mechanical and heat‑treatment requirements for low‑alloy steel bars used in aerospace applications. Published November 2025 (approved 5 October 2025), this standard applies to round, square, rectangular and hexagonal bars with a limiting dimension (De) up to 40 mm.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material designation: Steel 31NiMoCr10‑5‑3 with defined chemical composition limits (C 0.27–0.35 %, Si 0.15–0.35 %, Mn 0.45–0.70 %, Cr 0.50–0.80 %, Mo 0.45–0.65 %, Ni 2.30–2.80 %, P ≤ 0.025 %, S ≤ 0.020 %).
- Melting method: Air melted.
- Delivery forms and limits: Bars, maximum dimension De ≤ 40 mm. Dimensional tolerance standards referenced (EN 2034–EN 2042 family).
- Heat treatment / delivery conditions:
- Softened (as applicable) or
- Hardened and tempered: austenitise 840 °C ≤ θ ≤ 860 °C / oil quench (OQ) then temper θ ≥ 520 °C.
- Mechanical properties:
- Tensile strength Rm: 1 230 ≤ Rm ≤ 1 420 MPa.
- Proof stress Rp0,2 (hardened): ≥ 1 080 MPa.
- Elongation A ≥ 9 %, reduction of area Z ≥ 40 %.
- Charpy impact (where specified): ≥ 20 J.
- Hardness limits: softened HB ≤ 248; hardened HB 363–415 (HV values given for De ≤ 5 mm).
- Hardenability (Jominy): minimum HRC values at specified distances (e.g., 6 mm → HRC ≥ 49; 40 mm → HRC ≥ 47).
- Testing & inspection: Requirements reference EN 4700‑002 for technical specifications and include marking and dimensional inspection.
Practical applications and users
EN 2450:2025 is intended for the aerospace supply chain where high‑strength, low‑alloy bars are required - typical users include:
- Material and bar manufacturers producing 31NiMoCr10‑5‑3 bars.
- Aerospace component designers and engineers specifying material properties for structural or high‑stress parts.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams requiring certified material and heat‑treatment records.
- Certification bodies and testing laboratories performing mechanical, hardness and Jominy tests.
Use cases include fasteners, shafts, landing‑gear subcomponents and other highly stressed small‑section parts where controlled hardenability and high tensile strength (Rm) are critical.
