Overview
EN 2808:1997 - Aerospace series: Anodizing of titanium and titanium alloys is a CEN standard that specifies requirements for anodic treatment of titanium and its alloys for aerospace use. The standard defines the scope and application of anodizing processes to ensure consistent corrosion resistance, surface properties, and suitability for subsequent finishing or assembly. EN 2808:1997 is intended to be applied where referenced in procurement, quality systems, or industry specifications.
Key Topics
The standard typically covers the following technical topics and requirements (as specified or implied by its scope):
- Scope and applicability - When and how the anodizing requirements apply to titanium and titanium alloy components.
- Surface preparation - Preconditions such as cleaning and surface condition necessary before anodizing.
- Anodizing process control - Process parameters and control measures to achieve reproducible anodic films (e.g., process monitoring and material compatibility).
- Film characteristics - Desired anodic film attributes such as appearance, adhesion, and corrosion protection suitable for aerospace environments.
- Inspection and testing - Acceptance criteria and non‑destructive or destructive tests used to verify coating performance and conformity.
- Quality and documentation - Requirements for process records, certification, and traceability for parts treated under the standard.
- Limitations and precautions - Recommendations for material selection, post‑treatment handling, and compatibility with adhesives, sealants and paints.
Applications
EN 2808:1997 is relevant for professionals and organizations involved in aerospace surface treatments and coatings, including:
- Aerospace manufacturers and subcontractors applying anodizing to titanium structural parts
- Surface treatment and coating specialists developing anodizing processes for titanium alloys
- Quality managers, inspectors, and procurement teams specifying anodizing requirements in contracts
- Engineers and designers selecting surface finishes for corrosion protection, wear resistance, or cosmetic requirements
Typical use-cases include corrosion protection of airframe fittings, preparation of titanium parts for bonding or painting, and standardizing anodizing acceptance criteria across supply chains.
Related Standards
EN 2808:1997 is part of the broader ecosystem of aerospace coatings and surface-treatment standards. Where applicable, it is used alongside other CEN and ISO standards and industry specifications that address coating systems, testing methods, and material-specific treatment requirements. When referenced in procurement or technical documents, EN 2808:1997 provides the authoritative anodizing requirements for titanium and titanium alloys.
