Overview

EN 4683:2011 is a CEN aerospace standard that specifies requirements for the filler metal grade FE-WM 3504 (X4CrNiMo16-5-1) supplied as wire and rod. The standard covers materials produced by air melting (with possible Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD), Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization (VOD) or equivalent) and defines delivery condition, production method and the framework for inspection and qualification for welding filler metal used in aerospace applications.

Key topics and requirements

  • Material designation: Filler metal identified as FE-WM 3504 (X4CrNiMo16-5-1), a chromium–nickel–molybdenum stainless steel alloy intended for aerospace welding.
  • Form and production: Supplied as filler wire or filler rod, manufactured by cold drawing and delivered cold drawn and annealed (delivery condition code U).
  • Melting method: Air melted with possible refinement processes such as AOD or VOD or equivalent to control impurities and ensure consistent composition.
  • Inspection and testing: Reference is made to EN 3879 for the technical specification of filler metal testing. EN 3879 covers checks for:
    • External defects, residual stress and internal defects
    • Batch uniformity and material verification
    • Marking and dimensional inspection
  • Product qualification: Qualification program and acceptance criteria are to be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser, following EN 3879 guidance.
  • Documentation and presentation: Prepared according to aerospace material standards structure (see EN 4258 and EN 4500-5).

Applications and who uses it

  • Aerospace manufacturers and subcontractors selecting filler metals for structural or engine components where stainless steel weldability and corrosion resistance are required.
  • Welding engineers and materials specialists specifying filler metal chemistry, melting route (air melted/AOD/VOD), and delivery condition for reliable weld performance.
  • Procurement and quality assurance teams who need to verify compliance, batch testing and traceability of filler wire and rod for aerospace contracts.
  • Design engineers who require standardized filler metal data to ensure compatibility with base materials and process qualification.

Related standards

  • EN 3879 - Aerospace series: Metallic materials - Filler metal for welding (technical specification and testing)
  • EN 4258 - General organization of aerospace metallic material standards
  • EN 4500-5 - Rules for drafting/presentation of steel material standards

EN 4683:2011 is essential when specifying or qualifying FE-WM 3504 / X4CrNiMo16-5-1 filler metal for welding (wire and rod) in regulated aerospace supply chains.
