BS EN 2726 specifies the requirements relating to: Aluminium alloy AL-C42201, T6, Sand casting, a ≤ 20 mm for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2726 is a European Standard that is a part of the series of EN metallic material standards for aerospace applications. The general organization of this series is described in EN 4258. BS EN 2726 has been produced in accordance with EN 4500-2.
BS EN 2726 is part of the series of European metallic material standards for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2726 on aluminium alloy is useful to these entities:
Aluminium alloys have corrosion resistance properties. When aluminium is exposed to air, a thin oxidised film forms on the surface, protecting the metal from corrosion. When scratched, the layer rapidly reforms retaining the protection. This feature is utilised in aerospace applications, construction, buildings and household utensils. Thus, BS EN 2726 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. 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 2726 covers all the requirements for aluminium alloy (AL-C42201), T6, sand casting, a ≤ 20 mm.
BS EN 2726 guides you in the heat treatment process of aerospace products to maintain product quality. By adopting BS EN 2726, you can demonstrate the reliability of your aerospace products, and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
You can use BS EN 2726 for the qualification program to be agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser.
