BS EN 4050-4:2012

What is BS EN 4050-4- Acceptance criteria for the metallic materials about? 

BS EN 4050-4 is an international standard that discusses the test methods for metallic materials to be used in the construction of the aerospace sector.  

BS EN 4050-4 specifies the acceptance criteria for products ultrasonically inspected in accordance with EN 4050-1. 

Who is BS EN 4050-4- Acceptance criteria for the metallic materials for?  

BS EN 4050-4 on acceptance criteria for the metallic materials is relevant to: 

• Manufacturers of metallic materials 
• Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components 
• Aeronautical engineers  
• Aerospace engineers  
• Manufacturers of bars, plates, forging stock, and forgings 
• Metallurgical engineers 
• Ultrasonic testing authorities 
• Quality assurance personnel 
• Aerospace and defence industries 
• Aerospace engineers 

Why should you use BS EN 4050-4- Acceptance criteria for the metallic materials? 

The ultrasonic examination technique is a non-destructive methodology used to test the metals, that incorporates sound waves to detect cracks and defects in parts and materials. 

BS EN 4050-4 is devoted to testing methods for metallic materials and ultrasonic inspection of bars, plates, forging stock, and forgings. 

BS EN 4050-4 assists with the acceptance criteria and choice of technique using immersion, mechanized contact, and manual contact inspection. BS EN 4050-4 guides on the inspection of sheets and bars for forging. 

BS EN 2573 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of metallic materials to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry. 

By adopting BS EN 4050-4, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their metallic materials and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
