Overview
EN 4060:2001 - published by CEN (prepared by AECMA) - is an aerospace series standard that specifies the dimensions and tolerances for filler rods and filler wires used for welding in heat‑resisting alloys. It covers filler products with diameters from 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm, defining form, recommended nominal dimensions and linear mass, length options, and basic geometric requirements needed for aerospace fabrication and procurement.
Key topics
- Scope and form: Applies to filler rods and filler wires for welding in heat‑resisting alloys for aerospace applications; nominal diameter range 0.5 mm ≤ D ≤ 5.0 mm.
- Recommended dimensions and mass: Provides nominal diameters, cross‑sectional areas and calculated linear mass (density used for calculation noted as 8.1 kg/dm3).
- Length and supply: Specifies that rods are typically 1 000 mm long; orders must indicate whether bars are to be supplied in fixed or random lengths. Wire length must be specified on the order.
- Dimensional tolerances: Tables in the standard set diameter tolerances for both rods and wires across specific diameter ranges. Tolerances on rod length are given (e.g., ±5 mm).
- Geometric tolerances: Roundness requirements - roundness must be contained within the stated diameter tolerances.
- Normative linkage: Part of the aerospace metallic materials series and linked to EN 4258 (general organisation of standardization for the series).
Applications
- Specifying and procuring filler rods and wires for welding of high‑temperature components such as turbine parts, exhaust systems and other heat‑resisting alloy assemblies in aerospace manufacture and maintenance.
- Ensuring interchangeability and dimensional consistency across suppliers to maintain weld quality and fit‑up in production and repair operations.
- Supporting quality inspection, incoming goods verification, and acceptance criteria for welding consumables used in aviation and space systems.
Who uses this standard
- Procurement and sourcing teams at aerospace manufacturers and suppliers
- Welding engineers and fabricators working with heat‑resisting alloys
- Quality assurance and inspection personnel verifying dimensional conformity
- Specification writers and design engineers who need consistent consumable dimensions for assembly and repair processes
