Why should you use BS EN 2813 - Aluminium alloy ?
When exposed to air or water, AL-P-6061 aluminium alloy forms a layer of oxide which renders it nonreactive with elements that are corrosive to the underlying metal. 6061 is particularly good at resisting corrosion from concentrated nitric acid as well as ammonia and ammonium hydroxide.
BS EN 2813 covers all the requirements for aluminium alloy (AL-P-6061) and creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of aluminium alloy to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials to the aerospace and defence industry.
BS EN 2813 guides you in the heat treatment process of aerospace products to maintain product quality. By adopting BS EN 2813, you can demonstrate the reliability of your aerospace products, and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
