Overview
EN 4131:2009 is a CEN aerospace standard that defines the characteristics of bolts with a normal hexagonal head, coarse tolerance normal shank and medium length MJ thread, manufactured from a heat‑resisting nickel‑base alloy with aluminium IVD coating. The bolts are classified for a minimum tensile strength of 1 250 MPa at ambient temperature and a maximum service temperature of 425 °C (the latter depends on surface treatment). EN 4131:2009 covers geometry, tolerances, material classes, surface treatment and marking for use in aerospace and defence applications.
Key topics
- Configuration and dimensions: Hexagonal head bolts with diameter and length codes (per EN 4131 tables); dimensions and tolerances expressed in millimetres and apply after coating. Threads conform to MJ series (ISO 5855-2 / ISO 3353-1).
- Materials: Heat‑resisting nickel‑base alloy classified to meet the 1 250 MPa requirement (referenced standards include EN 2952, EN 3219, TR 3775).
- Surface treatment: Aluminium immersion/IVD coating per MIL‑DTL‑83488D Type II Class 3 (7–20 µm). After deposition, mechanical blasting and chromate conversion coating within 24 hours are required; optional lubrication with cethylic alcohol (code E).
- Form and position tolerances: ISO 7913 applies for geometric tolerances. Dimensions are per ISO 3193 conventions.
- Marking and designation: Standardized identification format (example: EN4131H050040E) and marking styles in line with EN 2424.
- Quality and approval: Manufacturer approval and quality systems per EN 9100; qualification of bolts via EN 9133. Test load factor and modified testing: apply coefficient 0.81.
Applications
EN 4131:2009 is intended for aerospace and defence fastener specifications where high temperature resistance and high tensile strength are required. Typical uses include:
- Airframe and engine components exposed to elevated temperatures
- Structural assemblies in helicopters, fixed‑wing aircraft and spacecraft
- OEM procurement specifications and supplier contracts for aerospace fasteners
- Quality assurance, incoming inspection and lot acceptance testing in manufacturing and MRO
Primary users: design engineers, procurement specialists, fastener manufacturers, quality managers, test laboratories and maintenance organizations within the aerospace supply chain.
