Heat treatable steels, alloy steels and free-cutting steels - Part 5: Nitriding steels (ISO 683-5:2017)

This document gives the technical delivery requirements for
—   semi-finished products, e.g. blooms, billets, slabs (see note 1),
—   bars (see note 1),
—   wire rod,
—   hot-rolled plates (see note 2), and
—   hammer or drop forgings (see note 1)
manufactured from the nitriding steels listed in Table 3 and supplied in one of the heat-treatment conditions given for the different types of products in Table 1, rows 2 to 5, and in one of the surface conditions given in Table 2.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

URL: w w w . i s o .org/ iso/ foreword .html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 4, Heat

treatable and alloy steels.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 683-5:2014), of which it constitutes a

minor revision.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— in the Scope, “see 5.2” has been added as a cross reference;
— in 3.1, note 1 to entry has been revised;
— in 5.2, the ordering example has been moved into a new subclause, as 5.3;
— in 7.7.3, the surface class given has been changed from A to 1z2;
— in 9.2.3, the option for retesting has been revised;
— Figure 3 has been renamed as Table 9;
— in A.2.1, the cross references have been corrected to A.2.2 to A.2.4.
A list of all parts in the ISO 683 series can be found on the ISO website.

Heat treatable steels, alloy steels and free-cutting steels —
Part 5:
Nitriding steels
1 Scope
This document gives the technical delivery requirements for
— semi-finished products, e.g. blooms, billets, slabs (see note 1),
— bars (see note 1),
— wire rod,
— hot-rolled plates (see note 2), and
— hammer or drop forgings (see note 1)

manufactured from the nitriding steels listed in Table 3 and supplied in one of the heat-treatment

conditions given for the different types of products in Table 1, rows 2 to 5, and in one of the surface

conditions given in Table 2.

The steels are generally intended for the fabrication of quenched and tempered and, subsequently,

nitriding machine parts.

The requirements for mechanical properties given in this document are restricted to the sizes given in

Table 6.

NOTE 1 Hammer-forged semi-finished products (blooms, billets, slabs, etc.), seamless rolled rings and

hammer-forged bars are in the following covered under semi-finished products or bars and not under the term

“hammer and drop forgings”.

NOTE 2 The term “plate” includes in the following also wide flats unless otherwise stated.

In special cases, variations in these technical delivery requirements or additions to these requirements

can form the subject of an agreement at the time of enquiry and order (see 5.2 and Annex B).

In addition to this document, the general technical delivery requirements of ISO 404 are applicable.

3.1
ruling section
section for which the specified mechanical properties shall apply

Note 1 to entry: Independent of the actual shape and dimensions of the cross-section of the product, the size of its

ruling section is always given by a diameter. This corresponds to the diameter of an “equivalent round bar”. That

is a round bar which will show the same cooling rate as the actual ruling section of the product concerned at its

position for taking the test pieces when being cooled from austenitizing temperature.

3.2
nitriding steel

heat-treatable steel containing controlled amounts of the nitride forming elements, aluminium,

chromium, molybdenum and/or vanadium and are particularly suited for nitriding
3.3
nitriding

heat treatment characterized by keeping a steel product for a sufficiently long time at temperatures

below the transformation temperature AC1 in a nitrogen providing gaseous or liquid salt environment

to achieve diffusion of the nitrogen into the steel surface

Note 1 to entry: An increase in surface hardness, wear resistance and fatigue properties is attained with this

treatment.
