This European Standard, a part of the BS EN 10025 series, specifies the technical delivery conditions for flat and long products and semi-finished products which are meant for further processing to flat and long products of hot rolled non-alloy quality steels in the grades and qualities given in chemical composition tables and mechanical properties tables in the delivery conditions. Chemical composition and mechanical properties of three engineering steels are also specified. This standard does not apply to structural hollow sections and tubes.
The technical delivery conditions apply to thickness ≥3 mm and ≤150 mm for long products of steel grade S450J0. The technical delivery conditions apply to thickness ≤250 mm for flat and long products of all other grades and qualities. In addition for flat products of qualities J2 and K2 the technical conditions apply to thickness ≤400 mm.
The steels specified in this standard are not intended to be heat treated except products delivered in delivery condition +N. Stress relief annealing is permitted.
Products delivered in +N condition can be hot formed and/or normalized after delivery..
Products made of steel grades S185, E295, E335 and E360 cannot be CE marked.
The steels specified in this Part 2 are not intended to be heat treated except products delivered in delivery condition +N. Stress relief annealing is permitted (see also the NOTE in 7.3.1.1 of EN 10025-1:2004). Products delivered in +N condition can be hot formed and/or normalized after delivery (see Clause 3).
Semi-finished products which are to be converted to rolled finished products conforming to this document should be the subject of special agreement at the time of the enquiry and order. The chemical composition can also be agreed at the time of the order, however the values should be within the limits of Tables 2 and 3.
For certain grades and product forms suitability for particular applications may be specified at the time of the enquiry and order (see 7.4.2, 7.4.3 and Table 10).
