General Information
Overview
EN 4846:2022 is a CEN (ASD‑STAN) aerospace standard that specifies requirements for externally threaded pan‑head screws with a Spiral Drive recess, threaded to the head, made from heat‑ and corrosion‑resisting steel, passivated. The fasteners are classified for a minimum tensile strength of 1 100 MPa (ambient temperature) and a maximum service temperature of 425 °C. The standard targets aerospace applications where high strength, corrosion resistance and controlled geometry are required.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Configuration and dimensions: Detailed head, thread and recess geometry are defined (MJ thread series, MJ3–MJ12 gauge/diameter codes). Dimensions and tolerances are given in millimetres and apply after surface treatment.
- Drive / recess: Spiral Drive recess per EN 4609; drive code referenced as "M". Note: a patent (Spiral Drive System EP1025370B1) is declared; license considerations may apply.
- Material and strength: Materials specified by reference to EN 3761 (heat‑ and corrosion‑resisting steel for fasteners) with classification 1 100 MPa.
- Temperature rating: Maximum temperature without permanent change = 425 °C (determined by material).
- Surface treatment: Passivation and decontamination requirements per EN 2516.
- Roughness and finishes:
- Bearing surfaces (underhead face, fillet radius, thread): Ramax = 0.8 µm
- Other surfaces: Ramax = 3.2 µm
- Edge breaks: 0.1 – 0.4 mm
- Tolerances of form & position: To ISO 7913.
- Designation, marking and identification: Marking rules per EN 2424 and drive/diameter codes as specified in the standard.
- Quality and procurement: Technical specification follows ISO 8168 and EN 4609. Manufacturer approval requires an approved aerospace production organization and a quality system (e.g., EN 9100). Qualification procedures (e.g., EN 9133) apply for aerospace standard products.
Applications and users
- Intended for aerospace and defence applications requiring high‑strength, corrosion‑resistant threaded fasteners: aircraft structures, engine components, hot‑section assemblies where resistance up to 425 °C is needed.
- Primary users:
- Fastener manufacturers and suppliers
- Aerospace design and mechanical engineers
- Procurement and specification writers
- Quality assurance and inspection teams
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations
Related standards
- EN 3761 (materials for fasteners)
- EN 4609 (Spiral drive recess geometry & requirements)
- EN 2516 (passivation of corrosion resisting steels)
- ISO 3353‑1, ISO 5855‑2, ISO 7913, ISO 8168
- EN 2424 (aerospace marking); EN 9100 / EN 9133 for quality/qualification
EN 4846:2022 provides a clear, traceable specification for selecting and producing pan‑head Spiral Drive aerospace screws in passivated, heat‑resisting steel-useful for designers, manufacturers and procurement teams needing compliance with European aerospace fastener requirements.
