Overview

EN 2103-3:1991 is a CEN technical specification in the aerospace series that defines the particular requirements for pre-production and production castings made from steel, nickel‑base and cobalt‑base alloys. It applies to castings produced from material that complies with EN 2103-2 and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 2103-1. The scope explicitly includes pre-production castings used for qualification of manufacturing methods and inspection procedures.

Key topics and requirements

This part of the EN 2103 series focuses on the particular requirements that govern aerospace remelting stock and castings. Key topics covered by the standard include:

  • Material scope: castings in steel, nickel‑base and cobalt‑base alloys produced from materials meeting EN 2103-2.
  • Production status: requirements that apply to both pre-production (qualification) and series production castings.
  • Qualification use: provisions for pre-production castings intended to qualify manufacturing methods and inspection routines.
  • Integration with other parts: to be applied together with EN 2103-1 (general requirements) and EN 2103-2 (material specifications).

Note: The standard defines the framework of technical requirements; for full regulatory and contractual use, it should be read alongside EN 2103-1 and EN 2103-2.

Practical applications

EN 2103-3:1991 is used to ensure consistent quality and traceability in aerospace casting supply chains. Practical uses include:

  • Qualifying casting methods and inspection procedures before full production runs.
  • Specifying acceptance criteria and documentation requirements for aerospace castings in procurement contracts.
  • Providing a technical basis for quality assurance of remelting stock and cast components in safety‑critical aerospace assemblies.
  • Supporting conformity assessment and supplier audits where cast steel, nickel‑base or cobalt‑base components are specified.

Who uses this standard

Typical users include:

  • Aerospace foundries producing steel, nickel‑base and cobalt‑base alloy castings
  • OEMs and tier suppliers specifying casting requirements for airframe and engine components
  • Quality engineers and inspection teams responsible for process qualification
  • Procurement and supply chain managers setting contract specifications
  • Certification bodies and regulatory assessors reviewing manufacturing qualification records
