Overview

EN 4007:2005 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies the technical and quality requirements for aerospace-grade aluminium alloy AL-P6082 in temper conditions T6 or T62. This standard applies specifically to sheets and strips with thicknesses ranging from 0.4 mm up to 6 mm. It forms part of the aerospace series of metallic material standards, ensuring high reliability and uniformity for critical aerospace applications.

The standard supports aerospace manufacturers by providing precise guidelines for the chemical composition, mechanical properties, production methods, and testing procedures for AL-P6082-T6 or T62 aluminium alloy sheets and strips. Compliance with EN 4007:2005 guarantees consistent material performance under demanding operating conditions.

Key Topics

• Material Specification
  Defines aluminium alloy AL-P6082 chemical composition ranges, including silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, zinc, titanium, and aluminium content.

• Temper Conditions
  Details temper designations T6 and T62, specifying heat treatment processes such as solution heat treatment, quenching, and artificial aging to achieve desired mechanical properties.

• Dimensions and Form
  Covers sheet and strip forms with thickness from 0.4 mm to 6 mm, produced by rolling methods.

• Mechanical Properties
  Includes requirements for proof stress (R_p0.2), tensile strength (R_m), and elongation at break (A %) at ambient temperature, critical for durability in aerospace environments.

• Testing and Inspection
  Refers to complementary standards (e.g., EN 4400-2) outlining test samples and test piece preparation, batch uniformity, external defect criteria, dimensional inspection, and marking protocols.

• Production and Delivery
  Establishes procedures for melting methods, condition codes (O, H111, T4, T6, T62), and delivery states, ensuring traceability and product consistency.

Applications

EN 4007:2005 aluminium alloy sheets and strips are engineered for use in the aerospace sector where lightweight, strength, corrosion resistance, and high fatigue performance are paramount. Typical aerospace applications include:

• Aircraft structural components such as fuselage skin, wing panels, and floor structures
• Aerospace assemblies requiring precise mechanical tolerances and formability
• Components subjected to cyclic loading where material strength and durability are critical
• Manufacturing of aerospace parts demanding certified and standardized aluminium alloy materials for quality assurance and regulatory compliance

Use of EN 4007-compliant aluminium reduces risk of material failure and aids manufacturers in meeting stringent aerospace safety and performance standards.

Related Standards

EN 4007:2005 is part of a broader suite of aerospace standards for metallic materials, harmonizing production and quality criteria across the EU aerospace industry. Key related standards include:

• EN 4258: General organization of aerospace metallic material standards and their interrelations
• EN 4400-2: Technical specifications covering aluminium and aluminium alloy wrought products, addressing sheet and strip materials
• EN 4500-2: Rules for drafting aerospace material standards specific to aluminium, aluminium alloys, and magnesium alloys

Together, these standards create a coherent framework ensuring material quality, performance, and interchangeability in aerospace manufacturing and supply chains.
