Overview

The EN 3417:2012 standard, issued by CEN, specifies the characteristics and requirements for solid rivets used in aerospace applications. These rivets feature a universal head and are manufactured from nickel base alloy NI-P11, conforming to the metric series. Designed for demanding aerospace environments, these solid rivets are capable of withstanding a maximum operating temperature of 650 °C, making them suitable for high-performance assemblies where durability and heat resistance are critical.

Key Topics

• Material Specification: Rivets are made from nickel base alloy NI-P11, ensuring high mechanical strength (540 MPa ≤ Rm ≤ 620 MPa) and temperature resistance. This alloy is compliant with EN 2305, which governs bars and wires for aerospace rivets.
• Dimensions and Configuration: The rivets are detailed in metric sizes with precise dimensional tolerances, including diameter codes from 2.5 mm to 5 mm and length ranges from 4 mm up to 60 mm. The rivets can have either a non-radiused tail end ("N" code) or a radiused tail end ("R" code), providing flexibility depending on the assembly requirements.
• Marking and Identification: Rivets are marked according to aerospace series standards EN 2424 and ISO 10299 for rivet, material, and metric identification. Markings are indented on the tail end for legibility and traceability throughout the aerospace supply chain.
• Technical Specifications: Relevant technical and performance requirements conform to EN 2941, ensuring compliance with aerospace-grade reliability and quality standards.
• Designation System: The standard provides a clear designation format including the diameter code, length code, tail end type, and optional drill start feature, facilitating unambiguous identification and ordering.

Applications

EN 3417 rivets are primarily used in aerospace construction and maintenance where strong, heat-resistant fastening solutions are necessary. Key applications include:

• Structural joint fastenings in aircraft and spacecraft assemblies requiring high-performance materials that resist corrosion and thermal stress.
• Components exposed to elevated temperatures (up to 650 °C), such as engine parts and airframe elements near propulsion systems.
• High-reliability aerospace manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations requiring standardized parts to ensure interchangeability and compliance with international aerospace quality protocols.
• Use in aerospace defense systems where material integrity at elevated temperatures is critical for safety and operational success.

Related Standards

• EN 2305: Defines properties of nickel base alloy NI-P11 bars and wires used for rivets, essential for understanding the material baseline.
• EN 2941: Specifies the technical requirements for nickel alloy aerospace rivets, providing complementary quality and performance guidelines.
• ISO 8280: Covers dimensions and tolerances for solid universal head rivets, forming the dimensional reference framework.
• ISO 10299: Addresses material and metric identification for aerospace rivets, ensuring unified marking practices across the industry.
• EN 2424: Aerospace series marking standard that governs the identification of rivets and other products for traceability compliance.

This standard is mandatory for aerospace manufacturers and suppliers throughout Europe and beyond, aligning with industry best practices for solid rivet production and usage in elevated temperature applications. Compliance with EN 3417:2012 supports enhanced safety, reliability, and performance in aerospace fastener technology.
