Overview

The oSIST prEN 3833:2026 standard governs aerospace bolts with MJ threads manufactured from the heat resistant nickel-base alloy NI-PH2601, commonly known as Inconel 718, in a passivated condition. It defines the technical specifications for bolts classified at a tensile strength of 1550 MPa at ambient temperature and operating temperatures up to 650 °C. Developed by CEN's Aerospace Technical Committee ASD-STAN, this updated standard ensures stringent quality, qualification, and acceptance criteria for these critical fasteners used in aerospace applications. The document supersedes EN 3833:2019 and includes revised clauses on qualification, conditions, test methods, and sample allocations.

Key Topics

  • Material Specification
    Bolts are made from NI-PH2601 (Inconel 718), a nickel-based superalloy with excellent heat resistance and mechanical strength. The alloy is passivated to improve corrosion resistance and surface integrity.

  • Mechanical Properties & Testing
    The standard specifies minimum tensile strength, stress rupture, and tension fatigue test requirements to guarantee performance at both ambient and elevated temperatures (up to 650 °C). These tests are performed according to approved aerospace test methods (e.g., EN ISO 6892, NASM 1312, ISO 7961).

  • Manufacturing Processes
    Hot or cold forging of bolt heads with strict temperature controls, followed by heat treatment in line with SAE AMS2774 or equivalents, ensures consistent mechanical properties and durability. Threads must be rolled post-heat treatment to maintain strength and surface quality.

  • Quality Assurance & Qualification
    Manufacturers must hold aerospace production approval (e.g., EN 9100) and follow recognized qualification procedures (EN 9133 or equivalent). Qualification and acceptance testing use statistically sound sampling plans to confirm conformity batch by batch.

  • Surface and Dimensional Requirements
    Strict controls on dimensional tolerances, surface roughness, and defects such as cracks, seams, and laps are tested to ensure reliable performance. The underhead fillet radius is cold rolled to remove machining effects and enhance fatigue life.

  • Defect Classification & Sampling Plans
    The standard clearly defines critical, major, and minor defects, linking these to acceptance quality limits (AQL) and inspection sampling plans to maintain consistent safety and performance standards.

Applications

oSIST prEN 3833:2026 specifies bolts designed for aerospace engineering applications where high strength and resistance to elevated temperatures are critical. Typical uses include:

  • Engine assemblies and turbine components subjected to extreme thermal loads
  • Structural fastening requiring high fatigue endurance and corrosion resistance
  • Critical aerospace systems where safety and reliability cannot be compromised

These bolts are essential components that contribute to the overall durability, safety, and performance of aircraft and spacecraft.
