Aerospace series - Welded and brazed assemblies for aerospace constructions - Weldability and brazeability of materials - Part 002: Homogeneous assemblies aluminium and aluminium alloys
This standard defines degrees of weldability and brazeability for materials or families of materials used in the aerospace industry.
It comprises a series of sheets, by materials or by material family which:
- indicate the main titles, the typical chemical composition and the main characteristics,
- contain recommendations for welding and brazing,
- indicate a degree of weldability or brazeability for a given process under defined conditions.
- indicate a value of the mechanical strength coefficient of the welded joint for each welding process, when it could be extracted from bibliographic references referring to it. The joint coefficient is expressed as a ratio of the tensile strength of the welded joint to the tensile strength of the base alloy.
It is applicable without restriction for the manufacturing of new parts or for repair.

Overview
EN 4632-002:2008 - part of the CEN Aerospace series - specifies how to assess weldability and brazeability of homogeneous aluminium and aluminium alloys used in aerospace constructions. The standard is organized as a series of material sheets (by alloy or alloy family) that:
- identify typical chemical composition and main characteristics,
- give practical recommendations for welding and brazing processes,
- assign a degree of weldability/brazeability for given processes and conditions,
- where available, provide a mechanical joint coefficient (ratio of tensile strength of the welded joint to tensile strength of the base alloy).
EN 4632-002:2008 applies without restriction to both the manufacture of new parts and repair operations.
Key topics
- Material sheets and families: Indexed by alloy families (1000, 2000, 5000, 6000, 7000 and foundry alloys). Each sheet summarizes composition, structure and special characteristics for the alloy(s).
- Process guidance: Recommendations for common processes such as TIG, MIG/MAG, EBW, FSW, laser welding (SLW/GLW), resistance welding (RSEW/RSW) and several brazing methods (AFB, VFB, FLB).
- Degrees and selection rules: The standard defines discrete degrees of weldability/brazeability per process and thermal state; it advises selecting the lowest degree applicable in the operating cycle and resolving dual-degree cases by engineering judgement.
- Joint coefficient: When bibliographic data exist, the sheet indicates a joint strength coefficient to estimate residual tensile capacity of welded joints - a practical metric for structural design and repair evaluation.
- Recommendations for filler metals and heat treatment: Cross-references to recommended filler alloys, pre/post-weld heat treatments (PWHT) and constraints (e.g., porosity, grain growth, cracking tendencies).
Applications
EN 4632-002:2008 is intended for practical use across the aerospace value chain:
- Design and structural engineers specifying welded/brazed aluminium assemblies.
- Welding/brazing procedure writers and qualification authorities preparing WPS/PQR and repair instructions.
- Metallurgists and materials engineers selecting alloys and filler metals for manufacture or repair.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) workshops assessing allowable processes for in-service repairs.
- Procurement and quality teams referencing material sheets to confirm supplier conformance.
Using the standard helps reduce risk by aligning material selection, process choice and expected joint performance with aerospace best practice.
