Default is ladle analysis, mass fraction wt%; product-analysis deviations are separately governed by Table 3 and are not added to default ladle ranges.

Unlisted elements must not be intentionally added without purchaser approval (except as necessary during steelmaking); residual elements must not impair performance or use.

This older edition does not use the 2017 edition’s conditional sulfur provisions; do not copy newer machining/welding/polishing options.

For Ti-stabilized grades, verify 5×C≤Ti≤0.70% using measured C; do not apply this condition to grades without Ti.

The standard covers cold heading/cold extrusion; actual supply, dimensions, delivery condition and properties still require confirmation.

Applicability and limitations

EN 10088-1:2005 Table 4 and continuation: ladle analysis (wt%); the official SIST adoption preview PDF, pages 11/12, covers all 50 grades and notes. Note a: unlisted elements are not intentionally added without purchaser consent, except as needed to complete steelmaking; a blank is not zero. Note b: for grades marked b only, S is selected separately for long products and by property requirement. Note d: the increased Ni maximum for special reasons applies only to listed grades, not all grades. Note c: Cu up to 1.0% for cold heading/extrusion; this condition path is provided here only for grades with blank Cu in the original table. Existing Cu alloy ranges retain their original values; the exception has not automatically rewritten them. The linked Ti≥5C/Nb≥10C and Ti≥8(C+N) conditions are retained; an unlisted N maximum is not zero. Note e: the source warns of skin-contact regulatory issues for high-sulfur free-machining steel; this is retained as a historical warning only and is not a claim of current compliance based on the 2005 text. Listed chemistry and the cold-heading Cu exception alone do not establish overall cold-heading performance or company supply; mechanical and product standards must be checked separately, and national adoption does not mean automatic equivalence.

    DIN EN 10263-5:2018-02 is the German-language edition of EN 10263-5:2017; This record was verified against heat analysis and footnotes in Table 3 of the official German edition. ; Heat-analysis mass fractions wt%; Product-analysis tolerances follow Table 4 separately. ; The sulfur conditions for machining, welding and polishing in Table 3, note b are retained separately; different requirements are not imposed simultaneously. ; Ti-stabilized grades require 5×C≤Ti≤0.70%, checked jointly with measured C/Ti. ; This standard covers stainless steel for cold heading and cold extrusion; delivery condition, dimensions, surface and mechanical properties still require independent confirmation. ; Unlisted elements must not be intentionally added without purchaser consent, except additions needed to finish steelmaking; unspecified contents are not treated as zero.
