Overview
EN 4615:2005 (CEN) is an aerospace material standard that specifies requirements for magnesium alloy MG‑C18002 in T4 condition produced by sand casting. It forms part of the EN aerospace metallic materials series and defines chemical limits, heat treatment (T4), mechanical property benchmarks, inspection and testing references for pre‑production and production castings intended for aerospace use.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material designation: Magnesium alloy MG‑C18002 (noted as similar to ISO MgAl8Zn / AZ81A and AZ80 but with tighter impurity controls to improve corrosion resistance).
- Chemical composition: Aluminium content and impurity limits are specified (Al 7.5–9.2 %); additional element limits and total impurity limits are given in the standard table.
- Casting method and form:Sand casting is the prescribed production method and form.
- Heat treatment (T4): Solution treatment at 425 °C – 435 °C for 12–20 h followed by water quench (WQ) to 60–80 °C (delivery condition code U). Alternative cooling practices may be allowed by agreement with the purchaser to reduce distortion.
- Mechanical properties (typical/required): Representative thresholds in T4 condition include:
- Proof stress (p0.2): ≥ 80 MPa (higher/lower values depending on section and design)
- Tensile strength (Rm): ≥ 200 MPa
- Elongation (A): ≥ 7 % Note: the standard cautions that tensile properties may not be consistently achievable in all parts of every casting; drawing requirements take precedence.
- Inspection and testing: References to EN 2076‑3 for sampling, testing, defect acceptance, batch uniformity, marking and dimensional inspection. Hardness typical value: HB ≤ 20 (per batch).
Applications and who uses it
EN 4615:2005 is intended for:
- Aerospace designers and structural engineers specifying lightweight cast components.
- Foundries and casting suppliers producing magnesium sand castings for aircraft and aerospace systems.
- Quality, procurement and materials engineers enforcing material acceptance criteria and certification.
- Test laboratories and inspectors using EN 2076‑3 test methods for verification and product qualification.
Typical applications include non‑critical to structural aerospace parts where high strength‑to‑weight and good corrosion resistance are required and where sand casting is an appropriate manufacturing route.
