BS EN 2053 is a European standard that serves dimensional specifications for the Aerospace series: U-section aluminium alloy folded profiles that facilitate grading, marking, material selection and product selection in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2053 specifies the dimensions and physical constants of U-section aluminium alloy folded profiles used in aerospace construction.
BS EN 2053 on Aerospace series: U-section aluminium alloy folded profiles applies to:
Aluminium is lighter than steel which increases load capacity and cost efficiency in aircraft. Aluminium also has properties such as strength, corrosion resistance and high tensile strength. It has a variety of applications in the aerospace industry due to its properties, availability and ease of production.
BS EN 2053 provides you guidance on dimensional code, cross-sectional area, and linear mass that facilitates the application of U-section aluminium alloy folded profiles according to mechanical properties, physical properties, and compatibility with other components.
BS EN 2053 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 U-section aluminium alloy folded profiles for aerospace applications.
The adoption of BS EN 2053 allows users to develop and assess U-section aluminium alloy folded profiles that enhance life expectancy, structural stability, and corrosion resistance in aerospace applications.
