Aerospace series - Corrosion and heat resisting steel rivets - Technical specification

This standard specifies the performance and test requirements for corrosion and heat resisting solid steel rivets intended for aerospace applications. It applies whenever it is specified in the document defining the rivet.
Its use, after agreement between the customer and the supplier, for solid rivets made from other materials, requires determination, case by case, of the minimum tensile and double shear loads.

Overview

EN 2898:2008 - Aerospace series - Corrosion and heat resisting steel rivets - Technical specification - defines the performance, test, inspection, documentation and marking requirements for corrosion- and heat-resisting solid steel rivets used in aerospace applications. The standard applies when referenced by the document that defines the rivet. Use for rivets of other materials is permitted only by agreement between customer and supplier, and requires case‑by‑case determination of minimum tensile and double‑shear loads. Manufacturers are responsible for testing, batch traceability and supplying a certificate of conformity at delivery.

Key Topics

  • Scope and batch definition: A batch is finished rivets of the same form, diameter, length, process and material, up to a maximum mass of 25 kg. Rivet wire samples from each coil end must accompany batches.
  • Materials and condition: Rivets must conform to the referenced material standards (e.g., EN 2119, EN 2470) and specified heat treatment/condition of use.
  • Dimensions and inspection: Dimensional checks follow the defining document; a projection method is specified for dispute resolution (×25 magnification up to 8 mm, ×10 above).
  • Mechanical properties: Mechanical verification via double shear and/or tensile tests combined with hardness testing. EN 2898 includes minimum breaking loads for common diameters (examples: double shear and tensile minimums for 1.6–4.8 mm rivets are tabulated for different material grades).
  • Upset test: Where requested, upset (forming) of the rivet head must show no cracks/folds when examined at ×10 magnification.
  • Appearance and marking: Visual inspection limits defects (seams, cracks, scores). Each rivet and package must be marked/labelled with identity, batch, manufacturer and delivery details.
  • Sampling and acceptance: Sampling plans are provided for non‑destructive and destructive tests (AQL = 4% for normal inspection-ISO 2859-1 based) and criteria for scrapping or re-testing batches.
  • Documentation & traceability: Manufacturers keep records (material batch links, heat treatment, test reports) for at least three years and supply a final inspection certificate with delivery.

Applications

EN 2898:2008 is used by:

  • Aerospace fastener manufacturers and suppliers for product specification and quality control
  • Procurement and supply chain teams to define acceptance criteria and documentation requirements
  • Design and structural engineers specifying rivets for high‑temperature or corrosive environments
  • Quality assurance and maintenance organizations ensuring traceability and conformity of rivets used on aircraft and aerospace assemblies

This standard helps ensure reliable mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, and traceability of aerospace rivets - critical for structural safety and regulatory compliance.
