General Information
Overview
EN 3120:2012 defines requirements for the aerospace series titanium alloy TI-P64003 supplied as cold-worked and stress-relieved seamless tube intended for pressure systems. The standard covers nominal outside diameters from 4 mm to 51 mm and tensile strength ranges 690 MPa to 1 030 MPa, specifying delivery condition, mechanical requirements, surface quality and inspection/test regimes appropriate for aerospace applications.
Key product characteristics required by the standard include:
- Form: seamless tube for hydraulic/pressure systems
- Delivery condition: cold worked and stress relieved (heat treatment example 380 °C ± 10 °C, t ≥ 30 min, air cooling or inert atmosphere)
- Diameter range: 4 mm ≤ D ≤ 51 mm
- Strength: Rm specified between 690 MPa and 1 030 MPa depending on size category
- Microstructure: elongated globular wrought alpha–beta; Widmannstätten structure is not acceptable
Key Topics
Mechanical properties and limits: EN 3120:2012 sets tensile strength, proof stress (Rp0,2) and elongation requirements by diameter category. These properties ensure the tubes meet the high-strength demands of aerospace pressure systems.
Surface and dimensional quality: Surface roughness limits are defined (external and internal Ra ≤ 0.8 μm; internal Rt ≤ 8.0 μm). Dimensional inspection, marking and other acceptance checks are specified to support traceability and fit-for-service.
Testing and inspection: The standard references a suite of tests (see EN 4800-003) including hydraulic distention, internal pressure testing, ultrasonic inspection, impulse fatigue testing and contractile strain ratio (CSR) checks. Typical CSR acceptance is in the range 1.5 ≤ CSR ≤ 2.5 with additional tests triggered outside nominal CSR bands.
Microstructure & metallurgical control: Specific microstructure criteria are required to avoid brittle or undesirable phases; method of melting and production routes follow EN 4800-003 guidance.
Applications
EN 3120:2012 tubes are intended for aerospace pressure systems such as hydraulic lines, fuel or pneumatic components where lightweight, corrosion-resistant and high-strength tubing is essential. Typical practical benefits:
- High strength-to-weight ratio for structural and pressure-bearing applications
- Fatigue resistance through controlled processing and testing (impulse fatigue tests referenced)
- Tight surface and dimensional tolerances to support leak-free fittings and assemblies
Manufacturers and purchasers should agree product qualification and lot acceptance programs as part of procurement to ensure the tubes meet intended service conditions.
