Overview
EN 4003:2006 (CEN) specifies requirements for the aerospace series aluminium alloy AL‑P2219 in temper T87 supplied as sheet and strip in the thickness range 0.5 mm ≤ a ≤ 6 mm. Prepared under ASD‑STAN and adopted by CEN, this material standard defines chemical composition, form and production, delivery conditions, heat treatments, and key mechanical and physical properties required for aerospace use.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material designation: Aluminium alloy AL‑P2219‑T87 (as listed in the standard).
- Form and production: Rolled sheet and strip; thickness range 0.5–6 mm.
- Chemical composition: Limits given for major elements (example: Cu ~5.8–6.8 %); aluminium as balance. (See standard for full table of element limits.)
- Delivery conditions / tempers:
- T37 and T87 codes referenced.
- T37: solution heat treatment and quench, ~7% cold work and natural ageing (ambient) t ≥ 5 days.
- T87: solution heat treatment and quench, ~7% cold work, plus artificial ageing 157 °C – 168 °C for 10–28 h.
- Solution heat treatment temperature range 530 °C – 540 °C; quench to ≤ 40 °C.
- Mechanical properties (selected minimums):
- Proof stress Rp0.2 ≥ 360 MPa
- Tensile strength Rm ≥ 440 MPa
- Elongation A (50 mm) ≥ 5–6 % (dependent on thickness range)
- Physical / inspection data: Typical electrical conductivity values listed for conditions; dimensional, marking and defect inspections referenced to EN 4400‑2.
- Testing and qualification: Test pieces, sample directions (LT), and inspection rules follow EN 4400‑2; product qualification program to be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Primary applications: Aerospace structural components, stiffeners, fittings, and thin-sheet assemblies where high strength and controlled thermal treatment are required.
- Intended users:
- Aerospace materials engineers and design teams specifying sheet/strip alloys.
- Manufacturers and rolling mills producing AL‑P2219 sheet/strip.
- Quality assurance personnel, procurement professionals, and certification bodies verifying compliance.
- Suppliers preparing material data sheets and conformity documentation for aerospace contracts.
