Overview

EN 3043:2025 - Aerospace series - Fasteners, externally threaded, in heat resisting steel FE‑PA92HT (A286) - Classification: 900 MPa / 650 °C - technical specification, published by CEN, sets the technical and quality assurance requirements for externally threaded aerospace fasteners made from this alloy. The standard covers material source, mechanical classification, permitted manufacturing routes (machining from bar or forging), heat treatment, dimensional and thread control, surface condition and acceptance/inspection requirements.

Key topics

  • Material and strength class
    • Fasteners must be manufactured from FE‑PA92HT (A286) material per EN 2398, EN 2399 or EN 3639 as applicable.
    • Tensile strength class: ≥ 900 MPa at room temperature; maximum specified test temperature for material 650 °C.
  • Manufacturing methods
    • Allowed: machining from bar or forging (manufacturer’s option). If forged, grain flow control is not mandated.
    • Forging: heating ≤ 1 150 °C and air cooling; consistent batch heating required.
  • Heat treatment
    • Solution treatment: 980 °C ± 15 °C for 1 h, quench in oil or water (for forged parts).
    • Precipitation treatment: 710–730 °C for ≥ 16 h, air cooled before final processing.
  • Threads, cold work and surface finish
    • Threads formed by a single thread rolling operation after heat treatments.
    • Fillet cold rolling, thread rolling and fillet rolling specified when required on product standard.
    • Surface contamination must be removed (abrasive blasting, grinding of shank/head bearing surfaces); surface roughness to conform to product drawing.
  • Quality assurance and inspection
    • Acceptance tests performed on each production batch using statistical sampling; defined sampling plans and inspection-lot definitions apply.
    • Manufacturer responsibility for inspection; EN 9100 (quality management) applies for quality system certification.
    • Test reports with numerical values available at purchaser option.

Applications

EN 3043:2025 is intended primarily for aerospace fasteners used on aircraft and aero-structures where high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance of A286 are required. Typical users:

  • OEMs and aerospace manufacturers specifying externally threaded bolts, studs and similar fasteners on drawings and product standards.
  • Fastener manufacturers and heat treatment suppliers implementing process controls for FE‑PA92HT parts.
  • Quality, procurement and inspection teams ensuring batch acceptance, traceability and EN 9100 compliance.
  • Test laboratories performing tensile, heat treatment verification and non‑destructive testing.

Related standards

  • EN 2398, EN 2399, EN 3639 (material bar/forged blanks)
  • ISO 3452‑1 (penetrant testing)
  • ISO 7961 (bolts - test methods)
  • EN 9100 (aerospace quality management)

The purpose of quality system certification is to ensure that demonstration of the acceptability of the
quality system and the ability for continuing production of parts according to this document, to the
required level of quality.
4.2.2 Requirements and procedure, quality management system
The manufacturer’s operations shall be an approved production organisation for aerospace products and
shall demonstrate that it has implemented and is able to maintain a quality management system (e.g.
according to EN 9100 or an equivalent aerospace accepted and established quality management system).
The qualification procedure for aerospace standard products (e.g. according to EN 9133 or an equivalent
aerospace accepted and established qualification procedure) shall be used and documented according to
the specified tests if not otherwise agreed between customer and supplier.
4.3 Responsibility for inspection and tests
The performance of all inspection and test requirements as specified herein shall be carried out before
shipment of the specified goods. The facilities for the implementation of inspection and test requirements
shall be either the place of manufacture or facilities approved in accordance with 4.2.
