Overview
EN 2157-3:1993 is a CEN aerospace series technical specification that defines the particular requirements for steel forgings produced from forging stock complying with EN 2157-2. It is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 2157-1 and covers both pre-production forgings (used to qualify manufacturing and inspection methods) and production forgings for aerospace applications.
The standard establishes a consistent framework for suppliers, manufacturers and quality teams to ensure that forgings meet agreed requirements for aerospace components. The published document also notes reproduction restrictions in the original source copy.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Requirements apply to steel forgings manufactured from EN 2157-2 forging stock and reference EN 2157-1 for general provisions.
- Pre-production forgings: Rules and expectations for trial or qualification forgings used to validate processes, tooling and inspection methods before full production.
- Production forgings: Acceptance criteria, documentation and controls for series manufacture to ensure consistent quality and traceability.
- Inspection and qualification: Guidance to support the qualification of manufacturing and inspection procedures, including the role of pre-production samples.
- Traceability and documentation: Emphasis on proper identification of forgings, records for material origin and conformity evidence to support aerospace procurement and quality systems.
Applications
EN 2157-3:1993 provides practical value across the aerospace supply chain:
- Manufacturers: Use the specification to define process qualification steps, establish acceptance criteria for production runs and maintain traceability for steel forgings.
- Quality and inspection teams: Rely on the standard to structure inspection plans, set method qualification requirements and verify conformity during pre-production and production phases.
- Design and procurement: Reference the standard when specifying material sourcing and forging requirements in procurement documents and engineering drawings.
- Certification and regulatory: Supports demonstration of consistent manufacturing and inspection practices required by aerospace regulators and prime contractors.
Benefits include clearer supplier requirements, reduced rework through validated processes, and improved confidence in forging conformity for critical aerospace parts.
Related Standards
- EN 2157-1 - General requirements for forging stock and forgings (use in conjunction with Part 3).
- EN 2157-2 - Forging stock specifications for steel (the source forging stock referenced in Part 3).
- Other aerospace material and process standards as referenced by procurement or regulatory frameworks.
For implementers, EN 2157-3:1993 should be integrated into quality plans, process qualification protocols and supplier contracts to ensure consistent, auditable production of steel forgings for aerospace use.
