Overview

EN 4173:2006 is a European aerospace standard that specifies the requirements for lockbolts featuring a 100° countersunk normal head, sheartype, and close tolerance. These lockbolts are made from the titanium alloy TI-P64001 and are anodized for enhanced surface protection. Designed as part of a metric series, they are classified to withstand a minimum tensile strength of 1,100 MPa at ambient temperature and a maximum operating temperature of 315 °C without degradation. This standard applies specifically to aerospace applications, ensuring safety, reliability, and performance in critical aircraft assembly processes. Both pintail (pull-type) and stumptype (without pintail) versions are covered, and they maintain static and dynamic equivalence when properly installed.

Key Topics

  • Material and Strength

    • Titanium alloy TI-P64001 with anodized surface treatment for corrosion resistance according to EN 2808.
    • Classified to meet a tensile strength of 1,100 MPa at room temperature.
    • Maximum service temperature of 315 °C ensuring stable performance under thermal stress.
  • Design and Dimensions

    • Lockbolts feature a 100° countersunk normal head with close tolerance fit for precision assembly.
    • Available in metric sizes with detailed dimensions and mass specified for each diameter and length code.
    • Versions include 'P' (with pintail) and 'S' (without pintail) that perform equivalently after installation.
  • Compatibility

    • Intended to be used with collars conforming to EN 4174 or EN 4175 standards, which cover swage locking collars in aluminum or titanium alloys.
    • Lubrication and surface finishing follow MIL-L-87132B (cetyl alcohol application) to ensure proper installation and longevity.
  • Marking and Identification

    • Lockbolts are marked according to EN 2424, style C, enabling traceability and quality assurance throughout aerospace manufacturing and maintenance.
    • Detailed coding system includes diameter, length, version, and optional sealant escape groove features.

Applications

EN 4173 lockbolts are engineered for aerospace structural fastening where high strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance are critical. Typical applications include:

  • Aircraft airframe assembly requiring precise, durable fasteners with high fatigue resistance.
  • Components exposed to elevated temperatures up to 315 °C, such as engine mounts or specific heat zones.
  • Repair and maintenance operations where interchangeability with pintail or stumptype lockbolts is essential.
  • Use in conjunction with aluminum or titanium alloy collars to maintain joint integrity and secure shearing resistance.

By adhering to EN 4173:2006, manufacturers and maintenance personnel ensure compliance with stringent aerospace regulations and enhance the safety and reliability of critical aircraft structures.
