Overview
EN 3328:2008 is a European aerospace standard published by CEN that specifies the dimensions and essential requirements for double hexagon head, close tolerance bolts with medium thread length, made from heat-resisting steel FE-PM38 (FV535), and supplied uncoated. These bolts are specifically designed for use in aerospace applications, withstanding environments up to 1,000 MPa tensile strength and 550 °C maximum test temperature. They play a critical role in aerospace fastening systems, particularly in assemblies where shearing force is the primary stress.
Key Topics
- Bolt type and design: Double hexagon head, close tolerance for secure fit, and medium thread length supporting MJ-thread profile.
- Material specification: Manufactured from FE-PM38 (FV535), a heat-resisting alloy steel offering strength and high-temperature stability.
- Uncoated surface: The bolts are supplied without surface coating to support specific aerospace application needs.
- Shear stress performance: Optimized for use in assemblies where bolts are mainly subjected to shearing, not just axial loads.
- Dimensional requirements: Standard defines the configuration, tolerances, and required masses for bolts according to their nominal diameter and lengths.
- Applicable temperature and strength: Rated for use up to 550 °C and 1,000 MPa, making them suitable for demanding aerospace conditions.
- Standardized marking: Requires markings compliant with EN 2424 to maintain traceability in aerospace supply chains.
Applications
EN 3328:2008 double hexagon head bolts are vital for:
- Aircraft structures: Essential in primary and secondary structural components, especially where close tolerance and strict shear strength are necessary.
- Aerospace engine assemblies: Utilized in high-temperature zones, such as engines and exhaust systems, due to their heat resistance and mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures.
- Spacecraft components: Suitable for critical joints exposed to extreme temperatures and loads during launch or operation in space environments.
- Aerospace fastening systems: Ideal for applications that require precise fit, high reliability, and standardization across fleets or similar platforms.
- Maintenance and repair operations (MRO): Provides standardized, interchangeable components for efficient aerospace maintenance and upgrades.
Related Standards
EN 3328:2008 references several related international and European standards to ensure compatibility, quality, and traceability in aerospace fastener applications:
- EN 2424: Marking requirements for aerospace products.
- EN 2493: Specification for heat resisting steel FE-PM38 material properties.
- EN 3302: Technical requirements for bolts made from FE-PM38 and their classifications.
- ISO 3353-1: Standards for lead and runout on rolled external threads used in aerospace.
- ISO 4095: Specifies the bihexagonal drive and wrenching configuration in metric sizes.
- ISO 5855-1 & ISO 5855-2: General requirements and dimensional limits for MJ threads on bolts and nuts.
Standard-compliant fasteners, such as those defined in EN 3328:2008, play a key role in aerospace safety, traceability, and international interoperability. Adhering to these standards ensures reliable performance in the critical high-shear and high-temperature joints common in modern aircraft engineering.
