EN 2082-3:1989

Overview

The EN 2082-3:1989 standard is part of the aerospace series focusing on aluminium alloy forging stock and forgings. Specifically, this part-Part 3-addresses the technical specifications for pre-production and production forgings made from forging stock complying with EN 2082-2. EN 2082-3 is designed to be used in conjunction with EN 2082-1 to ensure comprehensive quality and consistency in aerospace aluminium forging applications. Established by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), this standard ensures that aluminium alloy forgings meet strict aerospace industry requirements for reliability and performance.

Key Topics

• Aluminium Alloy Forgings: Specifications focus on aluminium alloy forgings, which are critical for aerospace components that demand high strength-to-weight ratios.
• Pre-production Forgings: Guidelines for producing trial forgings that test process parameters before full-scale production.
• Production Forgings: Requirements for mass-manufactured forgings ensuring uniformity, quality, and compliance with aerospace standards.
• Compliance with EN 2082-2: The forging stock used must meet the criteria set out in EN 2082-2, linking material quality to final forging performance.
• Integration with EN 2082-1: EN 2082-3 should be applied alongside the general requirements laid out in Part 1, providing a structured approach to aerospace aluminium forgings.
• Technical Conditions for Delivery: Defines detailed delivery conditions to guarantee the traceability and integrity of forgings from pre-production to series production.

Applications

EN 2082-3:1989 caters to aerospace manufacturers and suppliers who handle aluminium alloy forging processes. Its practical applications include:

• Aerospace Component Manufacturing: Ensuring that forged parts such as aircraft structural components, engine parts, and landing gear elements conform to stringent aerospace standards.
• Material Quality Assurance: Supporting quality control in fabricating forgings that withstand extreme operational demands in aviation and space exploration.
• Process Validation: Guiding pre-production trial runs to optimize forging parameters before entering full production.
• Supply Chain Compliance: Helping forging stock suppliers and aerospace manufacturers maintain consistency and traceability in aluminium forging materials and parts.
• Standardization in Aerospace Forging: Offering a harmonized approach for European aerospace companies to meet international competitiveness and regulatory requirements.

Related Standards

For holistic implementation, EN 2082-3 should be used in combination with the following related standards:

• EN 2082-1: General requirements for aluminium alloy forging stock and forgings, providing overarching guidelines.
• EN 2082-2: Specifies the requirements for aluminium alloy forging stock, a prerequisite material specification for EN 2082-3.
• Aerospace Material Standards: Other aerospace-specific metal standards that may complement aluminium alloy forging practices.
• Industry Quality Management Standards: Standards such as AS9100 that govern aerospace quality assurance and manufacturing processes.

By following EN 2082-3:1989, aerospace manufacturers can ensure that aluminium alloy pre-production and production forgings meet the industry's rigorous safety, quality, and performance standards. This supports the production of reliable, lightweight aerospace components essential for modern aircraft and spacecraft design.
