General Information
Overview
EN 2551:1992 is a European standard published by CEN that defines the specifications for aerospace-grade solid rivets. These rivets feature a 100° normal countersunk head with a dome and are manufactured from aluminium alloy 2117. The standard applies to an inch-based series of rivets designed for use in aerospace and related high-performance applications. These rivets are engineered to withstand maximum operating temperatures up to 120 °C, making them suitable for demanding environments in the aerospace industry.
Key Topics
- Rivet Type: Solid rivets with a 100° normal countersunk head featuring a dome shape, optimized for flush surface installation and aerodynamic performance.
- Material: Aluminium alloy 2117, known for its excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties, crucial for aerospace applications.
- Dimensions: Inch-based series to cater to specific aerospace manufacturing standards aligned with imperial measurement systems.
- Temperature Resistance: Rated for a maximum operating temperature of 120 °C, ensuring durability under typical aerospace operational conditions.
- Standard Compliance: Adheres to stringent European aerospace standards to maintain consistency, reliability, and safety in rivet performance.
Applications
EN 2551:1992 rivets are primarily designed for use in the aerospace sector, including but not limited to:
- Aircraft structural assembly where flush riveting is required to reduce aerodynamic drag.
- Manufacturing of aerospace components that demand lightweight and corrosion-resistant fasteners.
- Repair and maintenance of aerospace vehicles, ensuring replacement parts meet strict quality controls.
- Other transportation industries requiring secure permanent fastening solutions capable of withstanding moderate temperature variations.
The use of aluminium alloy 2117 rivets also makes these fasteners ideal for applications requiring a combination of mechanical strength and reduced weight, critical considerations in aircraft design and manufacturing.
