Introduction

Analysis of core changes in the standard

Technical elements 1994 edition 2024 edition Impact of changes
Drive slot coding Not specified New ISO 14275/14276 classification Achieving international compatibility
Material specifications Citing old EN standards Updated to EN 2398/2399 Material performance traceable
Definition of terms Missing New Chapter 3 Remove ambiguity

Key technical characteristics

Material performance requirements

The standard stipulates the use of FE-PA92HT(A286) heat-resistant steel, and its key indicators are:

  • Room temperature tensile strength ≥900MPa
  • Maximum operating temperature 650°C
  • Material must comply with EN 2398 (for machining) or EN 2399 (for forging)

Structural features

Typically used in aircraft engine hood fixation, its special design includes:

  1. 100° countersunk head angle ensures flush installation
  2. Offset cross groove (ISO 14275) provides higher torque transmission
  3. Fully threaded design enhances vibration resistance

Application Guide

Selection Comparison Table

Thread Code Diameter (mm) Applicable Length (mm) Reference Weight of Single Component (g)
MJ3×0.5 2.68 6-42 0.43-2.02
MJ5×0.8 4.48 10-70 1.75-9.50

Key points for quality control

  • The marking method shall be in accordance with EN 2424, and type F marking shall be used for diameter ≤4mm
  • The thread shall comply with the 4h6h tolerance grade of ISO 5855-2
  • There shall be no depression on the head (see item g in Figure 1)
