Why should you use BS EN 2278- Steel X12CrNiMoV12-3 aerospace series?
Steel is a hard and tough metal made by treating iron with extreme heat and mixing carbon with it.
BS EN 2278 is part of the series of EN metallic material standards for aerospace applications. The general organization of this series is described in EN 4258.
BS EN 2278 has been prepared in accordance with EN 4500-005. BS EN 2278 assists with the method of melting and method of production, heat treatment, and cleanliness/inclusion content.
BS EN 2278 covers all the requirements for steel products and creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of steel products to adhere to if they supply their products with metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
By adopting BS EN 2278, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their steel products and build trust for their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
