Overview
EN 2318:1992 is a European aerospace standard published by CEN that specifies the technical requirements for extruded bars and sections made from aluminium alloy AL-P2024 in the T3511 temper condition. This standard addresses products with cross-sectional dimensions ranging from 1.2 mm up to 150 mm in diameter or thickness. The aluminium alloy AL-P2024-T3511 is widely recognized in aerospace manufacturing due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance.
The standard facilitates consistent quality and performance for aluminium extrusions used in critical aerospace structures. It also allows for the supply of material in the T3510 condition upon purchaser request, though with specific designation restrictions according to EN 2600. EN 2318:1992 ensures that materials conform to the dimensional, mechanical, and chemical properties required by aerospace applications.
Key Topics
- Material Specification: Defines the alloy composition of AL-P2024, a high-strength aluminium-copper alloy favored in aerospace.
- Temper Conditions: Focuses on T3511 temper, which enhances mechanical properties by strain hardening and natural aging. Also includes provisions for T3510 condition on order.
- Dimensional Range: Applies to extruded bars and sections with dimensions between 1.2 mm and 150 mm in thickness or diameter.
- Quality Assurance: Sets requirements for testing, inspection, and conformity to ensure reliable material performance.
- Manufacturing Process: Addresses extrusion techniques suitable for aerospace-grade aluminium sections and bars.
Applications
EN 2318:1992 is critical for aerospace manufacturers and suppliers involved in producing structural components and assemblies, offering dimensional precision and mechanical integrity. Typical application areas include:
- Aircraft structural frameworks such as ribs, spars, and longerons
- Aerospace fasteners and fittings requiring high strength and fatigue resistance
- Precision-machined parts derived from extruded aluminium bars and profiles
- Components subjected to cyclic loading and fatigue in airframes
By standardizing the properties and dimensions of AL-P2024-T3511 extrusions, this standard supports safe, efficient manufacturing workflows and optimal material utilization in aerospace engineering.
