BS EN 4500-001:2012

What is BS EN 4500-001- Metallic materials for aerospace series about? 

BS EN 4500-001 is an international standard that discusses the aspects of metallic materials to be used in the aerospace series.  

BS EN 4500-001 specifies the general rules for the drafting and presentation of metallic material standards for aerospace applications. 

BS EN 4500-001 is supported by additional rules specific to: 

• Aluminium, aluminium alloys, and magnesium alloys (EN 4500-2) 
• Heat-resisting alloys (EN 4500-003) 
• Titanium and titanium alloys (EN 4500-004) 
• Steels (EN 4500-005) 
• Filler metals for welding (EN 4500-2 to EN 4500-005) 
• Filler metals for brazing (EN 4500-6)

Why should you use BS EN 4500-001- Metallic materials for aerospace series? 

BS EN 4500-001 is about rules for drafting and presentation of material standards. 

BS EN 4500-001 is 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 4500-001 has been prepared in accordance with EN 4500-2, EN 4500-003, EN 4500-004, EN 4500-005, and EN 4500-6.  

BS EN 4500-001 specifies the material designation, chemical composition, method of melting, and method of production. It provides you with information on the technical specification, delivery condition, and heat treatment. It describes the completion of product qualification requirements for the users. 

BS EN 4500-001 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of metallic materials to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials products for use by the aerospace and defence industry. 

By adopting BS EN 4500-001, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their metallic materials products and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
