Overview

EN 3026:1994 - Aerospace series - Test method for dry film lubricants - Corrosion test on steels specimens (CEN) defines a laboratory test method to verify that a dry film lubricant does not produce a corrosion effect on steel specimens. Adopted in various national implementations (e.g., SIST EN 3026:2001), this aerospace-focused standard supports material compatibility and qualification activities where corrosion resistance is critical.

Key Topics

The standard addresses the essential elements of a corrosion verification test for dry film lubricants without prescribing manufacturing or formulation details. Core technical topics typically covered include:

  • Scope and purpose - confirming the lubricant does not induce corrosion on steel substrates used in aerospace components.
  • Specimen preparation - requirements for steel test pieces, surface condition and cleanliness prior to coating.
  • Application of dry film lubricant - method of applying the lubricant to specimens and any conditioning before exposure.
  • Exposure conditions - controlled corrosive environment and test duration to reveal potential corrosive interactions.
  • Inspection and assessment - visual and/or instrumental evaluation criteria for corrosion damage, reporting of results and pass/fail determination.
  • Test reporting - required documentation, test parameters, and interpretation guidance for reproducible qualification.

Note: EN 3026 specifies the test method framework rather than formulation-specific performance levels; users follow the procedures to obtain comparable, repeatable corrosion data.

Applications

EN 3026 is practical for any activity requiring evidence that a dry film lubricant is non-corrosive to steel, including:

  • Qualification of dry film lubricants for aerospace components and fasteners
  • Supplier acceptance testing and incoming material verification
  • R&D screening of new solid lubricant formulations or surface treatments
  • Maintenance and repair operations assessing compatibility of replacement coatings
  • Quality assurance and regulatory compliance documentation for aircraft systems

Using this standard helps reduce corrosion-related failures, extend service life, and maintain airworthiness where steel parts interface with solid lubricants.

Who Uses This Standard

  • Aerospace materials and corrosion engineers
  • OEMs and aircraft component suppliers
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies
  • Procurement and quality control teams in aviation industry
  • R&D teams developing dry film lubricants or protective coatings

Related Standards

EN 3026 is part of the aerospace series of test methods. Users often reference other EN and aerospace standards for lubricant performance, surface treatments, and corrosion testing protocols when developing a complete qualification and compliance program.
