What is BS EN 10263‑5 - Stainless steels about?
BS EN 10263 is a series of European standards on cold heading and cold extrusion that discusses the best procedures and specifications on manufacturing high-quality steel rods, bars, and wire.
BS EN 10263‑5 is the fifth part of a series of documents on steel rods, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion. BS EN 10263‑5 is applicable to round rods, round bars, and wire made of stainless steels intended for cold heading and cold extrusion having a diameter up to and including:
- 25 mm for ferritic and austenitic-ferritic steels
- 50 mm for austenitic steels
- 100 mm for martensitic steels
Who is BS EN 10263‑5 - Stainless steels for?
BS EN 10263‑5 on steel rod, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of stainless steels rod, bars, and wire
Why should you use BS EN 10263‑5- Stainless steels?
Stainless steel originally called rustless steel is any one of a group of ferrous alloys that contain a minimum of approximately 10.5% chromium, less than 1.2% carbon, and other alloying elements. Stainless steel's corrosion resistance and mechanical properties can be further enhanced by adding other elements, such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, manganese, etc.
BS EN 10263‑5 navigates you through the classification and designation, production process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality.
BS EN 10263‑5 exemplifies the required surface condition, mechanical properties, and chemical composition that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specifications.
As a user of BS EN 10263‑5, you can be ensured of all the requirements of cold heading and cold extrusion. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10263‑5, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality rods, bars, and wire of stainless steel. With BS EN 10263‑5 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10263‑5 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
