Applicability and limitations

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 1.7225; not marked for special application under note 4.

Applicability and limitations

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 1.7225; 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.

    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 ISO 683-2-2016 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%.

    Applicability and limitations

    Actually based on the official English text of EN 10132-3:2000; This standard covers cold-rolled narrow steel strip intended for heat treatment; it does not constitute a supply guarantee for cold-heading wire.. Table 1 is for heat analysis; Permissible deviations for finished product analysis in Table 2 are registered independently; finished product permissible deviations shall not be used to relax heat analysis. Table 1 Footnote: Elements not listed shall not be intentionally added without the buyer's consent, except additions needed to finish steelmaking; Prevent scrap or other raw materials from introducing elements that could impair properties or intended use; unlisted elements must not be assumed zero.. Values in Mechanical Table 3 are applicable only for 0.30 mm≤t<3.00 mm; Mechanical properties for thicker steel strips shall be agreed upon during inquiry and ordering and cannot be directly extrapolated. Footnote a of Table 3 requires a choice between tensile indicators and hardness; Unless otherwise specified, tensile requirements apply. This page presents the alternatives separately and does not treat both as simultaneous guaranteed requirements.. For cold-rolled +CR, agree a tensile-property interval 150 MPa wide when tensile requirements are selected, or a hardness interval 50 HV wide when hardness is selected.; The outer boundaries of this table do not automatically generate actual ordering windows. Sampling, test methods, microstructure, dimensions, inspection, and other general delivery requirements shall also be verified in conjunction with EN10132-1 and applicable agreements; composition reverse-check does not replace full-item acceptance. This part covers cold-rolled narrow steel strip for quenching and tempering; strip supplied for heat treatment has thickness up to 6mm.; The +QT condition is within the range of 0.30 to 3.00mm, but the values in Table 3 are strictly limited to 0.30≤t<3.00mm.. +QT is used only for grades with explicitly listed values in Table 3.; The actual ordering range for tensile strength or hardness shall be agreed upon based on the 150MPa or 50HV width respectively; the entire optional interval in the table cannot be treated as a single supply guarantee.. +AC spheroidizing annealing condition may be adopted by agreement, but spheroidization and mechanical limits must be separately agreed upon.; +A/+LC values shall not be applied.. The +CR mechanical properties for 25Mn4 and CrMo grades must be agreed upon during ordering..
