BS EN 4174 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers collars, swage locking, sheartype, in aluminium alloy 2024, anodized or chromated, metric series.
BS EN 4174 specifies the characteristics of swage collars, sheartype, in aluminium alloy 2024, anodized or chromated, metric series, for maximum operating temperature 120 °C.
BS EN 4174 on swage collars is useful for:
Swaged collars are used with lockbolts or threaded pins to provide a quick assembly solution for shear applications. They are installed using a specific tool and swaging nose, even on a sloped structure without affecting system performance.
An Aluminium alloy (or aluminum alloy; see spelling differences) is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 4174 walks you through the characteristics of swage collars, sheartype, in aluminium alloy 2024, anodized or chromated, metric series. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
