Full title and description

STB BS EN 4100-2005 — Aerospace series. Aluminium alloy AL‑P2219‑T6 or T62 — Sheet and strip — 0,5 mm ≤ a ≤ 6 mm. This designation refers to the European (EN) material standard adopted as a national standard (BS EN 4100:2005) specifying material, heat‑treatment, mechanical and inspection requirements for AL‑P2219 sheet and strip intended for aerospace applications.

Abstract

This standard defines the requirements for aluminium alloy AL‑P2219 supplied as rolled sheet and strip in thicknesses from 0.5 mm up to 6 mm for aerospace use. It covers material designation, chemical composition limits, permitted delivery/heat‑treatment conditions (including T6 and T62), mechanical property limits by thickness and temper, sampling and test methods, and requirements for inspection, marking and certification appropriate to aerospace applications.

Scope

Specifies requirements relating to aluminium alloy AL‑P2219 in the T6 or T62 condition supplied as sheet and strip with thickness a in the range 0.5 mm ≤ a ≤ 6 mm for aerospace applications. The standard is limited to material specification, heat‑treatment/delivery conditions, required mechanical properties and acceptance/inspection criteria relevant to aerospace use; it does not cover design rules or structural calculations.

Key topics and requirements

• Material designation and product form: AL‑P2219 sheet and strip (rolled product) in specified thickness range.
• Chemical composition limits and control of alloying/impurity elements appropriate for AL‑P2219.
• Permitted delivery tempers and heat‑treatment procedures (notably T6 and T62) and corresponding requirements.
• Mechanical property limits (tensile strength, yield/proof stress, elongation) specified by thickness and temper.
• Sampling, test and inspection requirements (chemical analysis, mechanical testing, dimensional checks, surface condition).
• Marking, certification and documentation expected for aerospace procurement and traceability.

Typical use and users

Used by aerospace material suppliers, procurement teams, metallurgists, quality and inspection engineers, aircraft structural designers, and maintenance/repair organisations that specify or verify aluminium sheet and strip for airframe and aerospace component manufacture. Typical applications include structural and semi‑structural aerospace components where the properties of AL‑P2219 (a copper‑bearing aluminium alloy) are required.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: EN 4100:2005 (published as BS EN 4100:2005 when adopted by BSI) is a material specification in the aerospace series that defines requirements for aluminium alloy AL‑P2219 supplied as sheet and strip in the thickness range 0.5–6 mm for aerospace applications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers alloy identification, chemical composition limits, permitted delivery tempers (including T6/T62), mechanical property limits by thickness and temper, sampling and test methods, inspection/acceptance criteria, and marking/documentation required for aerospace procurement of AL‑P2219 sheet and strip. It does not provide design calculation rules.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aerospace manufacturers, material suppliers, procurement and quality engineers, metallurgists and organisations responsible for certifying and accepting aluminium products for aircraft components.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Listings from national standards bodies and catalogue services show EN 4100:2005 as the published edition; it is listed as the definitive EN text of 2005 and is published/adopted nationally as BS EN 4100:2005. Users should check with their national standards body for the absolute current legal status or any later amendments before relying on the text for procurement or certification.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it forms part of the "Aerospace series" of CEN/ASD‑STAN material standards for metallic materials; related drafting and product parts (e.g., other EN/PREN series items and EN 4258) provide organization and cross‑reference rules within the series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: AL‑P2219, aluminium alloy, aerospace series, sheet, strip, T6, T62, chemical composition, mechanical properties, BS EN 4100, EN 4100.
