This Bosch-Norm may only be disclosed to third parties outside the Bosch Group upon consent of the herein listed supplier
This Bosch-Norm specifies the technical terms of delivery and additional requirements for the unalloyed
process-controlled, lead alloyed steel for quenching and tempering C45RPb, to be used for forged high
pressure parts quenched and tempered from the forging heat. In addition to the data in this Bosch-Norm
all the respective requirements of DIN EN 10277-1 (2008-06) and DIN EN 10277-5 have to be met that

4 Production
The steel making processes (melting, secondary metallurgy, casting) are to be secured with regard to the
BST 4497026626
requirements for the microscopic cleanliness level and the prevention of macroscopic internal defects.
Steelmaking follows a control plan according to ISO/TS 16949 (2009-06).
Process–securing measures according to special agreement with the steel maker in accordance with pro-
duction and inspection schedule (QM-Plan-Bosch+SH-5-998-554-1, QM-Plan-Bosch+C-5-998-554-4).
5 Absence of defects
5.1 General
In accordance with state-of-the-art technology, the products have to be free from defects which impair
the processability under real production conditions
the use under real service conditions
Details may be agreed relating to the component

5.2 Macroscopic internal defects
Macroscopic internal defects are e.g.
AVK3NA 2021-04-19 NormMaster
non-metallic inclusions with a surface of more than 0,03 mm² in their largest dimension
internal discontinuities as e.g. blowholes, pores or internal cracks with a surface of more than
0,03 mm² in their largest dimension
Quantity and size of macroscopic internal defects must not exceed state-of-the-art technology. Measures
have to be taken in accordance with state-of-the-art technology to prevent the occurrence of macroscopic
internal defects.
5.2.1 Testing for internal defects
Testing for macroscopic internal defects and calibration of the installations is performed according to the
process and inspection schedule:
Ultrasonic full cross section test in continuous operation on the bar steel with automated installations
on all bars. Sorting threshold is to be set at the statically determined amplitude height of 0,7 mm FBH.
Bars with indication are to be rejected.
Random testing with ultrasonic immersion technique test as per SEP 1927 (2010-08).
The limit value for the detectable size of defects – according to the listed test conditions – in continuous
operation in the bar steel is determined to be a length of 10 mm and an equivalent reflector size of 0,7 mm
FBH. Macroscopic internal defects above this limit are not permissible.
For the evaluation of the ultrasonic immersion technique test as per SEP 1927 (2010-08), the permissible
limit value is determined to be a max. flaw length of 25 mm.
After the ultrasonic testing sufficient rust protection with suitable agents is to be ensured for the bars.

Without approval of the orderer, elements not listed below must not be added to the steel intentionally, ex-
cept for final treatment of the melt. All adequate preparation has to be made in order to avoid the addition
of that kind of elements from the scrap and other materials used in manufacturing that impair the mechani-
cal properties and the usability of the steel.

DIN EN ISO 8785 (1999-10) must not exceed state-of-the-art technology in size and frequency. Cracks,
scores and other surface imperfections are permitted only to a depth of max. 0,15 mm. The one–sided re-
moval when peeling must be a min. of 0,65 mm.
8.2 Surface B2
