Overview
EN 4501:2006 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies requirements for aerospace-grade bolts featuring a normal hexagonal head, close tolerance normal shank, and short thread. These bolts are made of titanium alloy, anodized with an aluminium pigmented coating, and belong to the metric series. The standard classifies these bolts with a tensile strength of 1,100 MPa at ambient temperature, with resistance up to 315 °C, making them suitable for demanding aerospace applications.
This standard ensures consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and performance of titanium alloy bolts used in critical aerospace components, aligning with aerospace industry quality management systems.
Key Topics
Bolt Characteristics
- Head Type: Normal hexagonal, thin-headed configuration for weight reduction and secure fastening.
- Thread: Short thread design, adhering to aerospace standards for lead and runout control (ISO 3353-1).
- Shank: Close tolerance normal shank ensuring precise fit and load distribution.
- Materials: Titanium alloy strength class 1,100 MPa as specified in aerospace technical reports.
- Surface Treatment: Anodized with aluminium pigmented coatings following EN 4474 to enhance corrosion resistance and durability at elevated temperatures.
Dimensional Specifications
- Metric series with detailed diameter codes ranging from 5 mm to 25 mm.
- Tight tolerance control on dimensions and form based on ISO 7913.
- Mass and size references provided to assist in component design and selection.
- Compatibility with aerospace washers (EN 2414) and nuts (EN 3230).
Marking and Identification
- Bolts must be marked according to EN 2424 style C plus MJ, using indented lettering for traceability.
- Designation format includes the standard number, diameter code, and length code for straightforward identification.
Quality and Compliance
- Manufactured under aerospace quality management systems (EN 9100).
- Mandatory manufacturer approval and bolt qualification as per EN 9133.
- Conformance ensures reliability under stringent aerospace operational conditions.
Applications
EN 4501:2006 bolts are primarily designed for use in the aerospace sector where high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures are critical. Specific applications include:
- Aircraft Structural Assemblies: Critical fastening points requiring lightweight yet high-strength fasteners.
- Engine Components: Areas exposed to temperatures up to 315 °C that require bolts with excellent thermal stability.
- Spacecraft and Satellites: Where anodized titanium alloy bolts provide excellent resistance to environmental factors and maintain structural integrity.
- High-performance Aeronautical Manufacturing: Integrating these bolts with standard aerospace washers and nuts ensures optimal mechanical performance.
These bolts support aerospace manufacturers in meeting demanding safety and performance standards, minimizing weight while maximizing strength and corrosion resistance.
