BS EN 2040 is a European standard covering dimensional specifications for the Aerospace series: Rolled rectangular steel bars that facilitate grading, marking, material selection and product selection in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2040 specifies the dimensions, tolerances, and physical constants of rolled rectangular steel bars used in aerospace construction.
BS EN 2040 on Aerospace series: Rolled rectangular steel bars applies to:
Stainless steel is one of the most used metals in aerospace equipment. Steel has mechanical properties such as corrosion resistance, strength, and toughness, making it a reliable option for use in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2040 provides you guidance on dimensional code, width, tolerance, thickness, and linear mass that facilitates the application of round steel bars according to mechanical properties, physical properties, and compatibility with other systems and components.
BS EN 2040 provides you guidance on designation, including name, number of material standard, dimensions, code of dimensional standard and an example enabling the identification and labelling of rolled rectangular steel bars for aerospace applications.
The adoption of BS EN 2040 allows users to develop and assess rolled rectangular steel bars that enhance life expectancy, structural stability, and corrosion resistance in aerospace applications.
