Overview

oSIST prEN 3740:2025 is a vital European standard developed by CEN for specifying the requirements of aerospace bolts featuring a shouldered design, thin hexagonal head, close tolerance shank, and short thread. These bolts are manufactured from titanium alloy, anodized, and coated with MoS2 (molybdenum disulphide) dryfilm, offering enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and performance stability. Classified for a tensile strength of 1 100 MPa at ambient temperature and capable of withstanding temperatures up to 315 °C, oSIST prEN 3740:2025 bolts meet the demanding needs of aerospace engineering and related high-performance sectors.

This standard supersedes EN 3740:2019 and introduces updated surface treatment requirements and editorial improvements to ensure alignment with the latest technological and industry developments.

Key Topics

  • Bolt Characteristics:
    oSIST prEN 3740:2025 outlines precise configurations, dimensions, and mass for bolts, specifying tolerances of form and position according to ISO 7913. The standard ensures reliable fit and function in critical aerospace applications.

  • Material and Surface Treatment:
    Bolts are manufactured from titanium alloy in accordance with TR 3775, guaranteeing high strength and resistance to corrosion. Each bolt is anodized and MoS2 coated as per TR 4070 and EN 2491, providing low friction and exceptional durability.

  • Compatibility:
    These aerospace bolts are intended for use with washers as specified in EN 2414 and nuts per EN 3230, ensuring compatibility within established aerospace component systems.

  • Technical and Quality Requirements:
    oSIST prEN 3740:2025 mandates compliance with technical specifications in ISO 9152. Manufacturers must operate under an approved aerospace quality management system, such as EN 9100, and utilize robust qualification procedures drawn from standards like EN 9133.

  • Marking and Identification:
    Marking requirements adhere to EN 2424, facilitating traceability and quality assurance throughout the bolt’s lifecycle.

Applications

These high-performance bolts are primarily designed for use in:

  • Aircraft Structures:
    For joints where high strength-to-weight ratio, minimal thread length, and close tolerance are critical, such as airframe assemblies, wing components, and landing gear.

  • Aerospace Engines and Systems:
    Bolts specified by oSIST prEN 3740:2025 offer thermal resistance and reliability required in engine mounts and high-temperature sections.

  • Spacecraft and Defense:
    The titanium alloy construction and protective coatings ensure durability in harsh environments, making them suitable for satellites, launch vehicles, and advanced defense systems.

  • Other High-Performance Engineering:
    Wherever the combination of lightweight, strength, and corrosion resistance is needed, such as motorsports or specialized industrial machinery.

Related Standards

For comprehensive compliance and interoperability, oSIST prEN 3740:2025 should be used alongside these key standards:

  • EN 2414 - Aerospace series: Washers, chamfered, in alloy steel
  • EN 3230 - Aerospace series: Nuts, slotted/castellated, in steel
  • EN 2491 - Molybdenum disulphide dry lubricants - Coating methods
  • EN 2424 - Marking of aerospace products
  • EN 4016 - Oversized bolts for aerospace applications
  • ISO 7913 - Tolerances for bolts and screws, metric
  • EN 9100 - Quality management systems for aviation, space and defence
  • EN 9133 - Qualification procedures for aerospace standard products
  • TR 3775 - Bolts and pins - Materials
  • TR 4070 - Aerospace series - MoS2 coatings - List of commercial products

By applying oSIST prEN 3740:2025 and its related standards, manufacturers and engineers ensure robust, reliable, and standardized aerospace assemblies, supporting safety, performance, and international cooperation within the aerospace industry.
