Elements not quoted in this table shall not be intentionally added to the steel without the agreement of the purchaser, other than for the purpose of finishing the heat. All reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent the addition of such elements from scrap or other material used in manufacture which affect the hardenability, mechanical properties and applicability. Where requirements are made on hardenability (see Table 5 and Table 6), slight deviations from the limits for the cast analysis are permitted, except for phosphorus and sulphur; these deviations shall, however, not exceed in the case of carbon 0,01 % and in all other cases the values acc. to table 4. Steels with improved machinability as a result of the addition of higher sulphur contents up to around 0,10 % S (including resulphurized steels with controlled inclusion content (e.g. Ca-treatment)) (modern method) or lead may be supplied on request. In the first case the upper limit for the manganese content may be increased by 0,15 %. Boron is in this case added not for increase of hardenability but to improve the toughness of the case hardened zone.

means that in one cast the deviation can occur over the upper value or under the lower value of the specified range in Table 3, but not both at the same time. For steels with a specified sulphur range (0,020 % to 0,040 % according to cast analysis), the permissible deviation is 0,005 %.

The temperatures given for carburizing, core-hardening, case-hardening and tempering are for guidance; the actual temperatures chosen should be those that will give the properties required.

Time for austenitizing as a guide: 30 to 35 minutes. The carburizing temperature will depend on the chemical composition of the steel, the mass of the product, and the carburizing medium. If the steels are direct hardened, in general, a temperature of 950 C is not exceeded. For special procedures, for example under vacuum, higher temperatures (for example 1 020 C to 1 050 C) are not unusual.

c d e

When applying the single quench method, the steel is to be quenched from the carburizing temperature or a lower temperature. The lower hardening temperatures are in each case to be preferred, in particular when there is risk of distortion. The kind of quenching agent depends on, for example, the shape of the products, the cooling conditions and the amount of furnace filling. Time for tempering as a guide: 1 h minimum.

(The cast analysis is given by the manufacturer; for product analysis see A.3). In cases of dispute, the test piece shall be prepared as follows: a) For diameters d 40 mm, the test piece shall be produced by machining. b) For diameters 40 mm < d 150 mm, the bar shall be reduced by forging to a diameter of 40 mm or a test piece with diameter 40 mm shall be taken so that its axis is 20 mm below the surface. c) For diameters d > 150 mm, the test piece shall be taken so that its axis is 20 mm below the surface. In all other cases, unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering, the sampling method is left to the discretion of the manufacturer. If the product dimensions do not permit samples to be taken for the end quench hardenability test, conditions shall be agreed for proof of hardenability.

In cases of dispute, the hardness shall be determined, if possible, at the following point on the surface: - in the case of round bars, a distance of 1 x the diameter from the end of the bar, - in the case of bars with a rectangular or square cross section and in the case of flat products at In accordance with a distance 1 x the thickness from the end and EN ISO 6506-1. 0,25 x the thickness from one longitudinal edge on the transverse side of the product. If, for example, in the case of hammer or drop forgings, the above requirements cannot be adhered to, agreement shall be reached at the time of ordering about the most appropriate position for the hardness indentations. For sample preparation, see EN ISO 6506-1. In accordance with EN ISO 6506-1.

The test shall be performed near the surface

The tests shall be carried out separately for each cast as indicated by "C", each dimension as indicated by "D", and each heat-treatment batch as indicated by "T". Products with different thickness may be grouped if the differences in thickness do not affect the properties. The general conditions for selection and preparation of samples and test pieces should be in accordance with EN ISO 377 and EN ISO 14284.

Annex A (normative) Options

NOTE One or more of the following supplementary or special requirements may be agreed upon at the time of enquiry and order. The details of these requirements may be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of enquiry and order if necessary.

A.1 A.1.1

Non-metallic inclusion content

The microscopically determined non-metallic inclusions content shall be within agreed limits when tested according to a procedure to be agreed at the time of enquiry and order (see Annex C).
NOTE The requirements for non metallic inclusions content apply in every case; however, verification requires a special agreement.

A.1.2

Macroscopic inclusions

This requirement is applicable for the verification of the macroscopic inclusions in special steels. If verification is agreed then the method and acceptance limits shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order. A.2 Non-destructive testing

A.3

Product analysis

One product analysis shall be carried out per cast for the determination of elements for which values are specified for the cast analysis (see Table 3) of the steel grade concerned.

A.4 Fine grain steel Fine grain steel shall have an austenite grain size of 5 or finer. If specific testing is ordered, the grain size requirement is to be verified by determining the aluminium content or micrographically. The fine grain structure is normally achieved, when the total aluminium content is a minimum of 0,018 %. In such a case the micrographic investigation is not necessary. The aluminium content shall be given in the inspection document. Otherwise one test piece per cast shall be inspected for the determination of the austenitic grain size. Sampling and sample preparation shall be as specified in EN ISO 643. The steel shall be tested in accordance with the Mc-Quaid-Ehn method described in EN ISO 643 and the grain structure shall be considered satisfactory if 70 % of the area is within the specified size limits. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the grain size shall be determined from a carburised specimen. Carburisation shall be achieved by maintaining the specimen in carburising powder at 925 C 10 C for 6 h. This is generally done by keeping the carburising chamber at 925 C 10 C for 8 h, including a pre-heating period. In most cases, a carburised layer of approximately 1 mm is obtained. After carburising,

Sampling shall be carried out as specified in EN ISO 14284. In cases of dispute about the analytical method, the chemical composition shall be determined in accordance with a reference method taken from one of the European Standards in prCEN/TR 10261.

Steel flat products of thickness equal to or greater than 6 mm shall be tested ultrasonically in accordance with EN 10160 and steel bars shall be tested ultrasonically in accordance with EN 10308. Other products shall be non-destructively tested in accordance with a method to be agreed at the time of enquiry and order and to acceptance criteria also to be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.

cooling the specimen at a rate slow enough ensures the cementite precipitating on the grain boundaries of the hypoeutectoid zone of the carburised layer. A.5 Reduction ratio and deformation ratio

If the central soundness of the hot rolled or forged products is important, the purchaser must be aware that a minimum reduction ratio (referred to the cross section) for long products or a minimum thickness deformation ratio (referred to the thickness) for flat products is necessary. In this case a minimum reduction ratio or a minimum thickness deformation ratio of e.g. 4:1 may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order (see 6.3). A.6 Special marking

The products shall be specially marked (e.g. by bar coding in accordance with EN 606) in a way agreed upon at the time of enquiry and order.

Annex C (normative) Determining the microscopic non-metallic inclusions content

The microscopic non-metallic inclusions in special steels shall be tested in accordance with EN 10247. The method of assessment and the requirements for determining the non-metallic inclusions content are to be defined at the time of enquiry and order. If there is no agreement at the time of enquiry and order the average field method calculated for area inclusions with restricted evaluation (KaR) shall be used and following requirements are applicable (see Table C.1). Table C.1 Requirements for the microscopic non-metallic inclusions content assessment in accordance with EN 10247 Average field method (K) calculated for area inclusions (a) with restricted values (R): KaR (m/mm) Types 1) EB aluminium oxides EC silicates ED globular oxides EAD heterogeneous inclusions, partly encapsulated

Restricted values for

1) EB aluminium oxides (columns 7-10 of fig. 5, EN 10247:2007), EC silicates (columns 1-5 of fig. 5, EN 10247:2007), ED globular oxides (column 6 of fig. 5, EN 10247:2007), EAD heterogeneous inclusions, partly encapsulated (columns 1-6 of fig. 5, EN 10247:2007), see also figure A.2 of EN 10247:2007.

NOTE The above mentioned method to measure the non-metallic inclusions content was introduced due to the publication of EN 10247:2007 and was first applied in this European Standard. Since customers have to gain experience in the subsequent processing of these special steels with the application of the new measurement method it must be stated that a certain transition period seems to be necessary. During the transition period reference may be made to EN 10084:1998
