Overview

SIST EN 4213:2005 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for aerospace-grade aluminium alloy AL-P6061-T651 plates. Covering thicknesses greater than 6 mm and up to 80 mm, this standard ensures quality, mechanical properties, and workmanship suitable for critical aerospace applications. The standard aligns with aerospace manufacturers' expectations for performance, traceability, and material specifications.

This standard is part of a comprehensive series of metallic material standards tailored for aerospace uses, providing harmonization within Europe and compliance with international aerospace material norms. It facilitates consistent quality in aluminium alloy plates used in structural aerospace components, ensuring safety, reliability, and optimal performance.

Key Topics

• Material Specification: Defines the aluminium alloy AL-P6061-T651 composition, including chemical ranges for silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, zinc, titanium, and aluminium.
• Plate Thickness Range: Applies to rolled aluminium alloy plates with thicknesses from greater than 6 mm up to and including 80 mm.
• Mechanical Properties:
  • Proof stress (Rp0.2) ≥ 240 MPa
  • Tensile strength (Rm) ≥ 290 MPa
  • Minimum elongation varies with thickness, from ≥6% to ≥10%
• Heat Treatment Conditions: Delivery conditions include T451 and T651 temper designations, with specific heat treatments involving solution treatment, water quenching, and controlled stretching.
• Testing Requirements: Mechanical testing specimens, heat treatment verification, and dimensional checks follow guidelines from related aerospace standards such as EN 4400-1.
• Surface and Internal Quality: External and internal defects are inspected per EN 4400-1, which also addresses batch uniformity and marking.
• Electrical Conductivity: Typical values range around 23 to 25 MS/m depending on temper condition.

Applications

SIST EN 4213:2005 aluminium alloy plates are primarily used in aerospace manufacturing where high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance are essential. Typical applications include:

• Aircraft structural components such as fuselage frames, wing spars, and skin panels.
• Aerospace mechanical parts requiring precision thickness and mechanical properties.
• Manufacture of high-performance aerospace assemblies where standardized aluminium materials ensure safety, certification compliance, and durability.
• Secondary aerospace applications where controlled alloy quality and heat treatment are critical.

By adhering to SIST EN 4213:2005, manufacturers ensure material traceability, reduce risk of failure, and support global aerospace certification processes.

Related Standards

• EN 4258: General organization of aerospace metallic materials standardization, providing the framework for SIST EN 4213:2005.
• EN 4400-1: Technical specifications for aluminium and aluminium alloy wrought products, defining testing and inspection methods referenced in EN 4213.
• EN 4500-2: Rules for drafting and presentation of aerospace metallic materials standards, including specific rules for aluminium alloys.
• AECMA-STAN: Adopted European aerospace industry standards, from which SIST EN 4213:2005 was developed.

Summary

SIST EN 4213:2005 is an essential standard for aerospace manufacturers specifying aluminium alloy AL-P6061-T651 plates from 6 mm up to 80 mm thick. It defines strict chemical composition, heat treatment, mechanical properties, and testing methodologies to meet aerospace industry's rigorous demands. Compliance ensures structural integrity, reliability, and compatibility with wider aerospace material standards, facilitating efficient production and certification of aircraft components.
