SIST EN 2117:2009

Overview

SIST EN 2117:2009 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies the requirements for aluminium alloy AL-P5056A (5056A)-H32 wire used for solid rivets with diameters up to 10 mm. Designed specifically for aerospace applications, this standard is part of the broader aerospace series of metallic material standards. The specification ensures consistent quality, mechanical performance, and suitable chemical composition of the aluminium alloy wire to meet the stringent demands of aerospace manufacturing and maintenance.

This standard is crucial for manufacturers and suppliers of aerospace rivet wire, providing clear guidelines on chemical composition, mechanical properties, production methods, and quality inspections. Compliance with SIST EN 2117:2009 ensures that aerospace components meet safety, durability, and regulatory requirements.
