Overview

SIST EN 3328:2008 is a European standard established by CEN that defines the specifications for aerospace-grade bolts with double hexagon heads. These bolts feature close tolerance dimensions, a medium thread length (MJ-thread), and are manufactured from heat resisting steel FE-PM38 (also known as FV535). The standard specifically applies to uncoated bolts classified for a tensile strength of 1,000 MPa and designed to withstand test temperatures up to 550 °C. Primarily, these bolts are intended for fastening applications in aerospace systems where shearing forces prevail.

This standard ensures dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, and material quality critical for aerospace safety and reliability.

Key Topics

  • Bolt Configuration and Dimensions
    The bolts have a double hexagon head conforming to close tolerance guidelines. Dimensions such as diameter, length, head size, and thread specifications are detailed in the standard with reference to specific tables and figures.
  • Material Specifications
    Made from heat resisting steel FE-PM38 (FV535) as per EN 2493, the material provides excellent resistance to high temperatures and mechanical stress typical in aerospace environments.
  • Thread and Surface Characteristics
    Bolts use MJ-threads, designed to tight aerospace standards (ISO 5855 series) for reliable engagement and thread performance under stress. The bolts are supplied uncoated, emphasizing the purity and performance of the base steel in heat-resisting applications.
  • Load and Temperature Ratings
    Rated for tensile strength at 1,000 MPa, these bolts maintain performance in operating temperatures up to 550 °C, aligning with aerospace component requirements under shearing loads.
  • Marking and Identification
    Marking follows EN 2424 Style A to ensure traceability and compliance with aerospace product marking standards. The designation system includes the standard number, nominal diameter, and length code, optionally with an originator code for identification.

Applications

SIST EN 3328:2008 bolts are crucial components in aerospace manufacturing and maintenance. Their controlled dimensions and material properties make them ideal for:

  • Aerospace Fastening Systems
    Used in critical fastening points where shear forces dominate, such as airframe structures, engine assemblies, and thermal protection systems.
  • High-Temperature Aerospace Environments
    Suitable for components exposed to elevated temperatures during flight cycles, including jet engines and exhaust systems.
  • Precision Assembly Requirements
    The close tolerance and double hexagon head design facilitate precise tool engagement and reliable torque transmission during assembly and maintenance operations.
  • Replacement and Repair
    Standardized dimensions and material properties support maintenance protocols by ensuring interchangeability and consistent performance of fasteners during repair or overhaul activities.
