EN 3720:1995 - Aerospace series - Nuts, bihexagonal, self-locking, in heat resisting steel FE-PA92HT (A286), MoS2 coated - Classification: 1 100 MPa (at ambient temperature) / 425 °C

Overview

EN 3720:1995 is a CEN aerospace standard that specifies the characteristics of bihexagonal (12‑point), self‑locking nuts made from heat‑resisting steel FE‑PA92HT (A286) with a MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) coating. The standard covers mechanical and material classification for aerospace use, with a strength classification shown as 1 100 MPa (at ambient temperature) / 425 °C. It is indexed under ICS 49.030.30 (Nuts) and has been adopted nationally as SIST EN 3720:2001.

Key topics and requirements

  • Material designation: Heat‑resisting steel FE‑PA92HT (A286) specified for high‑temperature performance.
  • Nut type: Bihexagonal (12‑point) geometry, self‑locking design to resist loosening under dynamic or vibratory loads.
  • Coating: MoS2 solid‑film coating for friction control, assembly torque consistency and improved anti‑galling behavior.
  • Classification: Strength/service classification indicated as 1 100 MPa (ambient) / 425 °C, denoting suitability for elevated temperature applications in aerospace assemblies.
  • Intended aerospace use: Dimensional, material and performance expectations tuned to aerospace fastener quality and reliability.
  • Conformity: Adoption and national identifications (e.g., SIST EN 3720:2001) for regulatory and procurement traceability.

Applications

  • Aircraft structural and engine fastenings where high temperature resistance and reliable locking are required.
  • Turbine engine accessories, exhaust and high‑temperature zones where A286 strength retention is needed.
  • Assemblies exposed to vibration and thermal cycling that require self‑locking features and controlled friction from MoS2 coating.
  • Use in design specifications, procurement documents, quality control and inspection plans for aerospace suppliers and maintenance organizations.

Who uses this standard

  • Aerospace design and stress engineers selecting fasteners for high‑temperature service.
  • Procurement and specification writers requiring standardized, certified fastener performance.
  • Quality assurance, testing and inspection teams verifying material, coating and locking performance.
  • Fastener manufacturers and heat‑treatment shops producing A286 (FE‑PA92HT) components to aerospace requirements.
