Why should you use BS EN 2728 - Aluminium alloy ?

Aluminium alloys have corrosion resistance properties. when aluminium is exposed to air, a thin oxidized film forms on the surface, protecting the metal from corrosion. When scratched, the layer rapidly reforms retaining the protection. This feature is utilized in aerospace applications, construction, buildings and household utensils. Thus, BS EN 2728 helps manufacturers in making aerospace applications concerning aluminium alloy and sand casting.

Aluminium alloys are available in various strength and hence are stronger than some steels. So, BS EN 2728 gives you guidelines on this and as a manufacturer, you can select it as per your requirement.

Aerospace applications require reliable materials for safe equipment operations. In aerospace operations, component or system failure can place the entire crew at risk so systems must operate with a high degree of strength, durability, reliability, operating environments, and complexity.

BS EN 2728 covers all the requirements for aluminium alloy (AL-C42101), T6, sand casting, a ≤ 20 mm. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of aluminium alloy to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry.

BS EN 2728 guides you in the heat treatment process of aerospace products to maintain product quality. By adopting BS EN 2728, you can demonstrate the reliability of your aerospace products, and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
