Applicability and limitations

Actually based on the official English text of EN 10025-6:2019 (published as BS EN 10025-6:2019); Applicable to flat products of high-yield-strength structural steel in quenched-and-tempered Q condition; this does not establish suitability for cold-heading wire or wire rod, or any supply guarantee by our company. Table 1 is for heat analysis; Table 2 product analysis applies only when required at ordering and is recorded separately; its upper limits must not be used to widen the heat-analysis composition limits. Current chemical display and reverse lookup are according to Table 1. The standard applies to a nominal thickness of at least 3mm; S460 to S690 maximum 200mm, S890/S960 maximum 125mm, no extrapolation to thicker products. According to 6.2, it shall be fully killed, fine-grained, and contain sufficient nitrogen-fixing elements; Total Al ≥ 0.020% is only a nitrogen-fixing example from the original text; when no other nitrogen-fixing elements are present, Al/N ≈ 2 is a general guide and does not impose a fixed Al lower limit on all materials. The Table 1 of EN 10020:2000 cited in EN 10025-6:2019 7.2.1/7.2.2 has been verified: it only supplements upper limits for Al/Bi/Co/Pb/Se/Te/W not listed in the main table; the 15 elements in the main table and the thickness CEV conditions remain unchanged; Lanthanide and other element group limits are listed separately; reverse lookup does not automatically verify all group constraints or nitrogen-fixing capacity, and full compliance shall not be claimed based on partial input. Table 3 gives IIW/CEV upper limits calculated from the composition of the same heat; the limits vary with strength grade and nominal thickness; The upper limits of main elements cannot be arbitrarily reached simultaneously; the envelope of independent boundaries shall not be regarded as an achievable heat. According to the Si control tier agreed upon in the order per 7.2.4 (Option 5): the Si ≤ 0.04% tier corresponds to an increase of 0.02 in the CEV upper limit, and the Si ≤ 0.25% tier corresponds to an increase of 0.01; Adopted separately according to the selected tier, not cumulatively; default values cannot be unilaterally relaxed based solely on the measured Si of a heat; Current default reverse lookup does not apply increments. The chemical CEV conditions and mechanical-property conditions must use the same nominal thickness of the actual product; Selections in the interface do not replace confirmation of dimensions, delivery condition, inspection documents, or project-specific technical requirements. The newly added Al upper limit is the Al without subscripts in the original EN 10020 table; The total Al nitrogen-fixing example in 6.2 and the Al/N guidance when no other nitrogen-fixing elements are present shall not be confused as mandatory Al upper and lower limits. Cited maximum values do not represent actual content, and missing lower limits shall not be regarded as 0.

Verification notes

Edition 2019 has been checked for all 21 grades, the 15 principal-table elements, heat/product analysis and thickness-dependent CEV; The EN10020 referenced table has been checked and 7 explicit element maxima added; grouped-element constraints and actual nitrogen-binding capacity still require complete reporting and separate verification.

Other-element requirements

EN10020:2000 Table 1 and reference of this standard: lanthanide elements each ≤0.10 wt%.
Other elements each ≤0.10 wt% (source table excludes C/P/S/N); Applies only where the product standard does not specify a range; it does not override listed elements or justify inventing an Fe matrix value.
Element groups and nitrogen fixing conditions must be verified separately in conjunction with the complete heat report; The element-by-element reverse lookup for this record does not automatically establish compliance with all group constraints.
