Overview
The prEN 3293 standard, titled "Aerospace series - Bolts, T-head, close tolerance, medium thread length, in heat resisting nickel base alloy NI-P100HT (Inconel 718), uncoated - Classification: 1 275 MPa/650 °C," is a critical specification developed by CEN for aerospace fastening components. This European committee standard focuses on uncoated T-head bolts made from heat-resistant nickel alloy NI-P100HT (Inconel 718), designed for high-performance aerospace applications.
These bolts feature close tolerance MJ threads with a medium thread length, and are engineered to withstand maximum test temperatures of up to 650 °C. Their primary mechanical application involves resisting shearing forces in aerospace assembly and fastening systems.
By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and aerospace engineers ensure bolt consistency, reliability, and safety, especially under extreme thermal and mechanical conditions.
Key Topics
Bolt Type and Configuration:
Uncoated T-head bolts with close tolerance MJ threads offer precise dimensions, ensuring proper fit and functionality under severe aerospace conditions.Material Specifications:
Bolts are manufactured from heat-resisting nickel base alloy NI-P100HT (Inconel 718), complying with material requirements such as those found in SAE AMS5662. This alloy provides exceptional mechanical strength and heat resistance up to 650 °C, essential for aerospace environments.Mechanical Performance:
Classified for 1,275 MPa tensile strength at elevated temperatures, these bolts primarily resist shearing forces in aerospace fastening systems.Dimensional Precision:
The standard details exact configuration, dimensions, tolerances, and masses referencing established Aerospace Series and ISO norms (ISO 3353-1, ISO 5855). This ensures interchangeability and performance consistency.Surface Finish:
Bolts are specified as uncoated, meaning no surface treatments or coatings are applied, which is important for certain aerospace environments where coatings may interfere with performance.Marking and Identification:
Marking follows EN 2424 Style A guidelines, ensuring traceability and compliance with aerospace marking protocols.Designation System:
A clear designation format (e.g., T-HEAD BOLT EN 3293 080 050) integrates bolt type, nominal diameter code, and length code for straightforward identification and procurement.
Applications
High-Temperature Aerospace Fastenings:
These T-head bolts are ideal for structural and mechanical assemblies in aerospace components that experience temperatures up to 650 °C.Shear-Force Critical Joints:
Due to their high tensile strength and precision fit, they are used in joints subject to high shearing forces, such as engine components, airframe assemblies, and heat-exposed ductwork.Aerospace Manufacturing and Maintenance:
Applicable in initial aircraft manufacturing as well as maintenance activities where reliable fastening systems must comply with strict international aerospace standards.Heat-Resistant Mechanical Systems:
Their heat-resistant alloy composition supports applications where exposure to corrosive environments and thermal cycling is expected, enhancing durability and safety.
