General Information
Overview
SIST EN 4884:2023 is a European standard specifying the technical requirements for aerospace-grade Steel X3CrNiMoAl (material number 1.4534). This steel is produced by vacuum induction melting and consumable electrode remelting, followed by solution treatment and precipitation hardening. It covers bars for machining with diameters (a or D) up to 200 mm, ensuring a high tensile strength range of 1,200 MPa to 1,350 MPa. Developed by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) and approved by CEN, this standard ensures the steel meets stringent aerospace industry criteria for mechanical and metallurgical properties.
The document is crucial for manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers involved in the aerospace sector, ensuring reliable and consistent steel quality for critical machined components.
Key Topics
- Material Composition: Specifies chemical elements including minimum and maximum quotas for carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium (12.25-13.25%), molybdenum (2.0-2.5%), nickel (7.5-8.5%), aluminum (0.90-1.35%), and nitrogen limits.
- Manufacturing Process: Requires vacuum induction melting and consumable electrode remelting to ensure high purity and uniformity.
- Heat Treatment: Defines solution treatment temperatures between 900°C and 950°C with specified cooling regimes and subsequent precipitation treatment at 550°C to 570°C to optimize strength and toughness.
- Mechanical Properties:
- Tensile strength (Rm): 1,200 - 1,350 MPa
- Proof stress (Rp0.2): ≥ 1,150 MPa
- Elongation: ≥ 10%
- Reduction of area: ≥ 45-50% depending on bar size
- Hardness: 38 ≤ HRC ≤ 43 (Rockwell hardness)
- Impact toughness tested at ambient and -30°C for notch toughness assurance
- Microstructure Requirements: Fine grain size (G ≥ 5 to 6 depending on bar diameter), maximum δ ferrite content of 3%, and defined inclusion classification (category 3).
- Inspection and Testing: Visual testing for surface imperfections, ultrasonic testing for internal defects, dimensional inspection, and marking per standards referenced (EN 4700-002, AMS 2315).
Applications
SIST EN 4884:2023 addresses the aerospace industry’s demand for high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel bars suited for precision machining. The steel X3CrNiMoAl is often utilized in:
- Structural aerospace components requiring high tensile strength and fatigue resistance.
- Landing gear parts, actuating mechanisms, and high-stress engine components.
- Critical machined parts where dimensional stability, toughness, and reliability under stress are mandatory.
- Aerospace manufacturing processes where materials must meet strict metallurgical and mechanical standards to ensure safety and performance.
Using steel bars conforming to SIST EN 4884:2023 enhances quality control and traceability while ensuring compliance with rigorous aerospace performance standards.
