BS EN 2046:2001

What is BS EN 2046- Dimensions and tolerances of hexagonal bars drawn in aluminium and alloys for aerospace applications about?  

BS EN 2046 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 2046 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of hexagonal bars, drawn in aluminium and aluminium alloys, tolerance class h 11, width across flats 7 mm ≤ a ≤ 50 mm for aerospace applications. 

Who is BS EN 2046 - Dimensions and tolerances of hexagonal bars drawn in aluminium and alloys for aerospace applications for? 

BS EN 2046 on dimensions and tolerances of hexagonal bars drawn in aluminium and aluminium alloys for aerospace applications is 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 2046- Dimensions and tolerances of hexagonal bars drawn in aluminium and alloys for aerospace applications?  

Aluminium alloys are the most widely used in aerospace development. The alloy has a high yield strength and is a high-grade alloy with excellent fatigue resistance. Aluminium alloy offers a wide range of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.  

BS EN 2046 provides you with recommendations on the dimensions and masses of the hexagonal bars. BS EN 2046 provides you with dimensional tolerance and geometric tolerance. BS EN 2046  helps you to avoid any kind of defects that could cause quality issues and helps to ensure the functionality of the hexagonal bars for aerospace applications.
