BS EN 3146:2001

What is BS EN 3146- Round bars hot rolled in steel with close tolerances for aerospace applications about?  

BS EN 3146 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 3146 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of round bars, hot rolled in steel with close tolerances and diameter 6mm ≤ D ≤ 250 mm for aerospace applications. 

Who is BS EN 3146 - Round bars hot rolled in steel with close tolerances for aerospace applications for? 

BS EN 3146 on dimensions and tolerances of round bars, hot rolled in steel with close tolerances and diameter is for aerospace applications useful for: 

• The aerospace and defence industry
• Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components  
• Vendors / Manufacturers and suppliers of sheet and strip steel for aerospace 
• Purchase divisions/component sourcing personnel 
• Product design engineers  
• Aeronautical engineers 

Why should you use BS EN 3146- Round bars hot rolled in steel with close tolerances for aerospace applications?  

Stainless steel is used in the aerospace industry because of its corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance. In addition, stainless steel must maintain its mechanical properties ​​over a wide temperature range and excellent corrosion resistance. 

BS EN 3146 provides you with recommendations on the dimensions and masses of the round bars hot rolled in steel. BS EN 3146 provides you with dimensional tolerance and geometric tolerance. BS EN 3146 helps you to avoid any kind of defects that could cause quality issues and helps to ensure the functionality of the round bars for aerospace applications.
