Table 2 cast analysis, mass fraction wt%; Si is an upper limit and unspecified elements are not filled with zero. P/S requirements for the C, Ck and Cm series remain separate; S 0.020–0.035% in S-containing grades is a two-sided range. Note 1: unlisted elements may not be intentionally added without purchaser consent, except to complete melting; no fixed residual values are inferred. Table 3 contains permissible product-analysis deviations, not added to cast limits; applicable sizes and positive/negative directions are checked separately. Heat-treatment condition, hardenability and size-dependent properties require separate verification. The standard includes hot-rolled wire rod; chemistry alone is no cold-heading supply commitment. Note 2: small composition deviations, excluding P/S, may be agreed when ordering restricted hardenability bands or quenched-and-tempered/normalized properties, but may not exceed Table 3. These data retain the Table 2 baseline without automatic relaxation. Light-typeface grades in note 4 are for special applications only. Note 5 permits separate ordering of Pb 0.15–0.30% only for the marked C-series grades; not added to ordinary base compositions. Original material number 1.7038; not marked for special application under note 4.

Applicability and limitations

Table 3 herein applies to heat (cast) analysis, mass fraction wt%; The permissible deviations for product analysis in Table 4 shall not be directly added to the limits in general Table 3. This document is EN ISO 683-2:2018, adopted without modification and accompanied by the text of ISO 683-2:2016; This record explicitly preserves the identity of EN ISO 683-2-2018 and shall not be called the ISO 2018 edition. Only the chemical composition and source conditions of Table 3 are verified; this does not constitute a guarantee of hardenability, heat treatment, mechanical properties, wire delivery state, or cold heading process. Note a: deviations in heat analysis apply only when hardenability requirements are specified; The deviation in C shall not exceed ±0.01%; P/S is excluded, and the other elements follow Table 4. General Table 3 shall not be automatically relaxed, nor shall H/HH/HL be merged with general grades. Note b: Steel with S increased to approximately 0.10% (including sulfide morphology control) or with the addition of Pb to improve machinability may be requested from the supplier; When S is increased, the upper limit of Mn may be increased by 0.15 percentage points. This agreement is not a default requirement, and approximate values shall not serve as precise automatic limits for this batch; if the Pb range is not listed, values shall not be borrowed from other standards. Original Note: Elements not listed shall not be intentionally added without the consent of the purchaser, except those required to complete the melting process; Elements introduced via scrap steel etc. shall be controlled. An unlisted value must not be assumed to be zero. Note d: lower Si is permitted, but other deoxidation methods must be used; The original text does not provide a uniform lower Si range; agreed conditions shall not automatically replace the range listed in 0.10–0.40%. This line is an independent S grade, S 0.020–0.040%, and shall not be merged with the S upper limit of grades without the S designation.

Composition

ElementComposition requirement
C0.34 ~ 0.41
Cr0.9 ~ 1.2
Mn0.6 ~ 0.9
P≤ 0.035 (lower limit not stated)
S0.02 ~ 0.04

Applicability and limitations

A match in the materials database does not establish suitability for cold heading or guarantee finished-product strength. Confirmation must consider wire condition, deformation, heat treatment and tests on actual parts.
