Overview
EN 2549:2006 is a European aerospace standard published by CEN that specifies the characteristics and technical requirements for titanium alloy bolts with a normal hexagonal head, close tolerance normal shank, and short thread. These bolts are anodized and lubricated with molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), classified for use in metric series applications with a minimum tensile strength of 1,100 MPa at ambient temperature and a maximum service temperature of 315 °C. This standard is essential for manufacturers and engineers working in the aerospace sector who require high-performance fasteners that meet stringent safety, durability, and performance criteria.
Key Topics
Bolt Characteristics
EN 2549 covers bolts with the following features:- Normal hexagonal head and normal shank with close tolerance dimensions
- Short thread length suitable for aerospace assembly needs
- Titanium alloy material selected for high strength-to-weight ratio
- Surface treatment with anodizing followed by MoS2 dry lubrication to enhance corrosion resistance and reduce friction.
Mechanical Classification
- Minimum tensile strength: 1,100 MPa at ambient temperature
- Maximum operational temperature: 315 °C without degradation of mechanical properties.
Dimensional and Tolerance Specifications
- Detailed metric series size codes, dimensions, and tolerances as per ISO 3193 and ISO 7913
- Defined thread profiles and surface finish criteria ensuring compatibility with aerospace assemblies.
Marking and Designation
- Clear marking system per EN 2424 for traceability and identification
- Classification codes for hole types (lockwire, split pin, or none) and lubricant application.
Related Quality and Procurement Requirements
- Manufacturer approval in accordance with EN 9100 quality management system
- Bolt qualification procedures following EN 9133 to guarantee consistent performance.
Applications
EN 2549 bolts are tailored for aerospace industry applications requiring lightweight, high-strength fasteners capable of withstanding harsh environments. Typical uses include:
- Aircraft structural assemblies where weight reduction without compromising strength is critical
- Engine and airframe components exposed to elevated temperatures up to 315 °C
- Aerospace manufacturing and maintenance operations that demand precise bolt tolerances and reliable lubricated surfaces
- Components requiring excellent corrosion resistance and friction performance due to anodizing and MoS2 coating
The standard ensures that aerospace fasteners made according to EN 2549 deliver optimal safety, durability, and performance, especially in demanding temperature and mechanical stress conditions.
