Overview

EN 4136:2009 is a CEN (ASD-STAN) aerospace standard that specifies the characteristics for high‑strength bolts: normal bi‑hexagonal head, coarse tolerance normal shank, long thread, made from alloy steel and cadmium plated. The bolts are classified for a minimum tensile strength of 1 100 MPa (at ambient temperature) and a maximum service temperature of 235 °C (surface‑treatment dependent). Dimensions and form tolerances are given in accordance with established aerospace thread and fastener conventions.

Keywords: EN 4136:2009, aerospace bolts, bi‑hexagonal head bolts, cadmium plated, alloy steel, 1100 MPa, long thread, MJ thread

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Configuration and dimensions: Bolt geometry, mass and dimensional limits reference ISO 3203 and ISO 5855‑2; dimensions are expressed in millimetres and apply after surface treatment.
  • Material and strength: Alloy steel meeting classification for 1 100 MPa tensile strength (see EN 2137 / EN 2442 / TR 3775).
  • Surface treatment: Cadmium plating per EN 2133. Contacted surfaces require 8–14 µm cadmium where contact is defined by a 20 mm diameter ball; all other surfaces must have continuous cadmium plating (no thickness specified). Black colour option available (code B).
  • Threads and tolerances: MJ long‑thread form and lead/runout per ISO 3353‑1; tolerances of form and position per ISO 7913.
  • Marking and designation: Marking style B per EN 2424; designation example: EN4136H050040B (standard number + hole code + diameter code + length code + colour code).
  • Manufacturing and quality: Manufacturer approval and quality systems refer to EN 9100; bolt qualification to EN 9133; procurement guidance to ISO 7689.
  • Additional technical details: Edge breaks (0.1–0.4 mm), optional hole codes, and specific head/wrenching dimensions are included in tables and figures of the standard.

Applications

  • Structural and mechanical fastening in aerospace assemblies where high tensile strength and corrosion resistance are required.
  • Aircraft airframe, engine accessory components and other aerospace systems using standardized bi‑hexagonal head fasteners.
  • Procurement and specification for aerospace suppliers, OEMs and MRO organizations needing consistent, approved cadmium‑plated alloy steel bolts.

Who should use EN 4136:2009

  • Design and structural engineers specifying fasteners for aircraft and aerospace equipment
  • Fastener manufacturers, heat‑treaters and plating shops producing aerospace bolts
  • Procurement, quality managers and regulators ensuring conformity to aerospace standard parts
  • Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations sourcing replacement parts

Related standards

  • EN 2133 (Cadmium plating), EN 2137 / EN 2442 (alloy steel grades), EN 2424 (marking)
  • ISO 3203, ISO 3353‑1, ISO 5855‑2, ISO 7689, ISO 7913
  • EN 9100 (quality systems), EN 9133 (qualification for aerospace standard parts)

This concise reference helps engineers and procurement teams determine whether EN 4136:2009 bolts meet their strength, dimensional and corrosion‑resistance needs for aerospace applications.
