(Main)Dimensions and tolerances of bright steel products of stainless and other special steels
Dimensions and tolerances of bright steel products of stainless and other special steels
This document applies to bright steel products in the drawn, turned or ground condition delivered in straight lengths. This document is mainly applied to stainless steels of EN 10088-3 and other product standards, e.g. tool steels, roller bearing steels.
This document can also be used for cold heading steels in the form of bars and wire; in case of wire, the thickness and tolerances apply but not the length and the straightness.
The non-alloy and alloy steels of EN 10277 are no longer included.
This document does not cover cold rolled products and cut lengths produced from strip or sheet by cutting.
Maße und Grenzabmaße von Blankstahlerzeugnissen aus nichtrostenden und anderen Stahlerzeugnissen
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Blankstahlerzeugnisse in Form gerader Stäbe im gezogenen, geschälten oder geschliffenen Zustand. Dieses Dokument ist hauptsächlich anwendbar auf die nichtrostenden Stähle nach EN 10088-3 und andere Erzeugnisnormen, z. B.: Werkzeugstähle und Wälzlagerstähle.
Dieses Dokument kann auch für Kaltstauchstähle sowohl in der Form von Stäben als auch in der Form von Draht verwendet werden. Bei Drähten gelten die Dicke und die Toleranzen, nicht aber die Länge und die Geradheit.
Die unlegierten und legierten Stähle der EN 10277 sind nicht länger Bestandteil dieser Norm.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für kaltgewalzte Erzeugnisse und für aus Band oder Blech geschnittene Stäbe.
Dimensions et tolérances des produits en acier transformés à froid à partir d’acier inoxydable et autres aciers spéciaux
Le présent document s'applique aux aciers transformés à froid, à l'état étiré, galeté ou rectifié, livrés sous formes de barres droites. Le présent document est principalement applicable aux aciers inoxydables de l'EN 10088-3 et à d'autres normes de produits, par exemple, les aciers à outils, les aciers à roulement, etc.
Le présent document peut être également utilisé pour les aciers obtenus par frappe à froid, à la fois sous forme de barre et de fil ; dans le cas des fils, l’épaisseur et les tolérances s’appliquent mais pas la longueur ni la rectitude.
Les aciers non alliés et alliés de l'EN 10277 ne sont désormais plus couverts.
Le présent document ne couvre pas les produits laminés à froid et les longueurs produites à partir de bandes ou de tôles par découpe.
Mere in mejni odstopki mer svetlih jeklenih izdelkov iz nerjavnih in drugih posebnih jekel
Ta dokument se uporablja za svetle jeklene izdelke v vlečenem, struženem ali mletem stanju, dobavljene v ravnih odsekih. Ta dokument se zlasti uporablja za nerjavna jekla iz standarda EN 10088-3 in drugih standardov za izdelke (npr. orodna jekla, jekla za valjčne ležaje). Ta dokument je mogoče uporabiti tudi za jekla, namenjena za hladno nakrčevanje, tako v obliki palic kot žic.
Nelegirana in legirana jekla iz standarda EN 10277 niso več vključena.
Ta dokument ne zajema hladno valjanih izdelkov in rezanih dolžin iz trakov ali plošč.

European foreword
This document (EN 10278:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 459/SC 5 “Steels
for heat treatment, alloy steels, free-cutting steels and stainless steels”, the secretariat of which is held by
DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2024, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2024.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 10278:1999.
The main changes compared to the previous edition EN 10278:1999 are listed below:
— bright steels of EN 10277 are excluded from the scope of this document and its application is
restricted to stainless steels and special steels which can be delivered as bright products, e.g. tool
steels, roller bearing steels, etc.;
— surface condition and tolerance classes revised;
— this document can now also be used for cold heading steels both in form of bars and wire (for wire
not concerning length and straightness);
— deviation from straightness revised;
— editorially revised.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
