Overview
SIST EN 3723:2001 is a European standard developed by CEN focusing on aerospace-grade hexagonal self-locking nuts manufactured from heat-resisting steel FE-PA92HT (A286) with a MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) coating. These components are classified for high-performance applications requiring strength of 1,100 MPa at ambient temperature and operational capability up to 425°C. This standard specifies the technical and material characteristics to ensure reliability, durability, and safety in aerospace assemblies.
Key Topics
- Material Specifications: The nuts are made from FE-PA92HT (A286), a high-strength, heat-resistant alloy known for its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.
- Self-Locking Feature: Integrated self-locking mechanisms provide secure fastening and resistance to loosening due to vibration or thermal cycling, critical in aerospace environments.
- MoS2 Coating: The molybdenum disulfide coating reduces friction during assembly and operation, improving wear resistance and extending component lifespan.
- Mechanical Classification: Nuts are rated to withstand tensile stresses of 1,100 MPa at room temperature and maintain integrity up to 425°C.
- Hexagonal Design: The conventional hexagonal shape facilitates ease of installation with standard tools, enabling compatibility with existing aerospace hardware.
Applications
SIST EN 3723:2001-certified nuts are primarily designed for aerospace industry uses, where components must endure extreme conditions without compromising safety or performance:
- Aircraft Engines: Securing critical engine components exposed to high temperatures and mechanical stresses.
- Structural Fastening: Joining airframe parts that demand high strength and resistance to thermal fatigue.
- Spacecraft Assembly: Reliable fastening in spacecraft where exposure to temperature extremes and vibration is common.
- High-Temperature Mechanical Systems: Any aerospace systems that operate in environments approaching or exceeding 400°C can benefit from these nuts.
The standard ensures these fasteners meet stringent quality and performance benchmarks required for aerospace certification and operational safety.
