Overview

EN 3323:2009 is a CEN aerospace series standard that defines the characteristics of bolts with double hexagon head, relieved shank and long thread manufactured in heat‑resisting steel FE‑PM 38 (FV 535). It covers bolts classified at tensile strength class 1 000 MPa (room temperature) with a maximum material test temperature of 550 °C. These fasteners are intended for aerospace fastening systems, particularly for joining titanium parts that are mainly stressed in tension.

Key topics and requirements

  • Configuration, dimensions and tolerances: Bolt geometry, double‑hexagon drive profile and dimensional tolerances are specified and presented in the standard’s figures and tables.
  • Threading: Long thread and lead/runout requirements reference aerospace thread practices (rolled external threads).
  • Surface roughness: Surface finish requirements are defined in the graphical configuration and related notes.
  • Material: Material must be heat‑resisting steel FE‑PM 38 in accordance with EN 2493 (bars), meeting Rm range consistent with the 1 000 MPa class.
  • Temperature rating: Maximum test temperature for the material is 550 °C - relevant for high‑temperature aerospace applications.
  • Surface treatment: None - the standard specifies no surface coating as part of the baseline requirement.
  • Marking and designation: Marking follows EN 2424 (category A) and the standard defines the designation format (EN number / diameter code / length code).
  • Technical specification: References EN 3302 for technical specification and testing requirements.

Applications and typical users

  • Applications:
    • High‑temperature aerospace structures and engine components where titanium and heat‑resistant steels are combined.
    • Tension‑loaded joints in airframes, pylons, hot structures and assemblies exposed to elevated temperatures up to the material test limit.
  • Who uses the standard:
    • Aerospace fastener manufacturers and heat‑treat shops producing FE‑PM 38 bolts.
    • Aircraft designers and structural engineers specifying high‑strength, high‑temperature fasteners.
    • Procurement, quality assurance and inspection teams ensuring conformity for aerospace parts.
    • Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations replacing certified fasteners.

Related standards

  • EN 2493 - Heat resisting steel FE‑PM 38 (bars)
  • EN 2424 - Marking of aerospace products
  • EN 3302 - Technical specification for similar heat‑resisting bolts
  • ISO 4095 - Bihexagonal drives (wrenching configuration)
  • ISO 3353‑1, ISO 5855‑1/2 - Thread and MJ thread general requirements

EN 3323:2009 provides a clear specification for high‑strength, heat‑resistant double‑hexagon bolts used in critical aerospace tension joints, enabling consistent manufacture, inspection and procurement across the industry.
