Overview
EN 3114-003:2006 is a CEN aerospace series test-method standard that provides a reference collection of photographic micrographs for the microstructure of (α + β) titanium alloy plate. The document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 3114-001 (general requirements for microstructure of (α + β) titanium alloy wrought products). EN 3114-003 contains numbered images showing representative microstructural classes, section orientation and magnifications to support metallographic evaluation and classification.
Key topics and requirements
- Photographic reference micrographs: The standard presents sets of labelled photos (for example 3T1–3T38, 3T100–3T106, 3A1–3A8, 3T200–3T202) that illustrate typical microstructures for titanium plate.
- Microstructural classes shown:
- Globular/lamellar (α + β) structures (transverse LT‑ST sections) - images 3T1–3T38.
- (α + β) with local blocky α and α‑stringers - images 3T100–3T106.
- (α + β) with lean α areas - images 3A1–3A8.
- β‑transformed structures - images 3T200–3T202.
- Section orientation: Micrographs are documented for the transverse section (LT‑ST), aiding consistent sample preparation and interpretation.
- Normative linkage: EN 3114-003 must be applied together with EN 3114-001, which contains the general metallographic requirements and procedures referenced by this part.
Practical applications
EN 3114-003 is a practical visual reference for professionals working with titanium (α + β) wrought plate in aerospace and related industries:
- Material inspection and acceptance: Compare laboratory metallographic images against the standard micrographs during incoming inspection or supplier qualification.
- Quality control and process monitoring: Evaluate effects of rolling, heat treatment or thermo‑mechanical processing by matching observed microstructures to reference types.
- Failure analysis and root cause investigations: Use the micrographs to help identify abnormal or unexpected microstructural features.
- Metallography training and calibration: Standardized images are useful for training technicians and calibrating visual grading between labs.
- Specification and procurement: Support procurement specifications and design reviews where microstructure is a contractual requirement.
