Heat resistant steels are extensively used for high temperature components, and they cover a broad range of applications. The properties of steel and its yield strength considerably decrease as the steel absorbs heat when exposed to high temperatures.
BS EN 2030 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 2030 specifies the requirements relating to Steel X105CrMo17 (1.3544), Hardened and tempered, Bars, De ≤ 150 mm for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2030 on Hardened and tempered steel bars for aerospace application is useful for:
There are many considerations to make when creating parts for aerospace applications, such as the shape, weight, and durability of a part. These factors can all affect the aircraft’s flight worthiness. When designing the interiors or exterior of vessels such as airplanes, spaceships, submarines, etc., structural decisions are based on function. There are some specific applications where aerospace grade stainless steel may surpass aluminum in performance. For years, the go-to material for aerospace applications was aluminum. However, in recent years, aerospace manufacturers have started investigating alternatives to aluminum, one of them being aerospace grade stainless steel.
BS EN 2030 provides you with requisites and standards for steel for aerospace applications so that the products are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 2030 contribute towards including high-quality components for aerospace that are responsible for the smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
