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).

EN ISO 683-2:2018は、熱処理可能な鋼、合金鋼、および自由切削鋼に関する重要な標準であり、特に合金鋼の焼き入れと焼き戻しに焦点を当てています。この標準は、半製品、熱間成形製品（ビーム、ビレット、スラブなど）、バー、ワイヤーロッド、仕上げフラット製品、ハンマーまたはドロップ鍛造品に関する技術的な供給要件を明確に定義しています。 この標準の強みは、直接硬化合金鋼および合金フレーム硬化鋼に対する具体的な製品条件を規定し、それにより製造業者が高品質な焼き入れ及び焼き戻し、またはオーステムパー処理が施された機械部品を確実に生産できるようになっている点にあります。ISO 683-2:2016は、機械的特性の要件を関連する表8に示されたサイズに限定しており、これにより明確性と一貫性が保たれています。 また、標準には特定の応用に対する他の関連国際標準の参考が含まれており、これにより用途に応じた柔軟なアプローチが取れる点も評価されます。特別な場合には、技術的な供給要件の変更や追加が可能であり、この柔軟性が顧客や市場のニーズに対応するための強力な基盤となっています。 さらに、ISO 404の一般技術的供給要件が適用されることで、ISO 683-2:2016は単体でも利用可能ですが、他の標準との相互運用性が強化されています。このように、EN ISO 683-2:2018は合金鋼の焼き入れおよび焼き戻しに関して、業界のニーズに応える非常に関連性の高い標準として位置付けられています。
The standard EN ISO 683-2:2018, focusing on heat-treatable steels, alloy steels, and free-cutting steels, particularly outlines the specifications for alloy steels intended for quenching and tempering. Its comprehensive scope encompasses a variety of products, including semi-finished items like blooms, billets, and slabs, as well as finished products such as bars and wire rods. This breadth ensures that manufacturers have a clear framework to refer to during the production of high-quality materials designed for demanding applications. One of the significant strengths of ISO 683-2:2016 is its detailed delineation of technical delivery requirements. The standard not only classifies the distinct types of products but also specifies the heat-treatment conditions necessary for achieving the desired mechanical properties, as outlined in Tables 1 and 2. This level of specificity provides manufacturers with clear guidance to ensure compliance with performance expectations for quenched and tempered or austempered machine parts. The relevance of this standard in industrial applications is underscored by its focus on the mechanical properties of the steels listed, allowing engineers and quality assurance teams to verify material suitability for their respective applications effectively. The inclusion of specific tables for sizes and conditions further facilitates straightforward assessment of materials against established criteria. Moreover, the standard recognizes the practical needs of the industry by allowing for variations in the technical delivery requirements through mutual agreement between suppliers and customers. This flexibility can foster innovation and accommodate unique project specifications while maintaining adherence to quality and safety standards. Both the mention of additional International Standards relating to special applications and the applicability of the general technical delivery requirements in ISO 404 expand the utility of ISO 683-2:2016. This ensures that practitioners can reference a broader framework while still obtaining the crucial details specific to heat-treatable alloy steels. Overall, EN ISO 683-2:2018 is a critical document that brings clarity and consistency to the manufacturing and application of heat-treatable steels, making it a vital resource for those involved in their production and use.

Die Norm stellt auch sicher, dass die gleichen Qualitätsstandards für verschiedene Produktarten, sei es für Schmiedeteile oder andere halbzeugliche Formen, angewendet werden. Ein weiterer bedeutender Aspekt ist die Flexibilität der Norm, die es ermöglicht, in besonderen Fällen Variationen bei den technischen Lieferanforderungen durch Vereinbarungen bei der Anfrage und Bestellung vorzunehmen. Dies führt dazu, dass Unternehmen maßgeschneiderte Lösungen für spezifische Anforderungen entwickeln können, während sie gleichzeitig die grundlegenden Standards einhalten. Darüber hinaus weist die Norm auf den zusätzlichen Anwendungsbereich der allgemeinen technischen Lieferanforderungen gemäß ISO 404 hin, was die Relevanz von EN ISO 683-2:2018 für die Industrie weiter erhöht. Die Vorgaben der Norm unterstützen somit zuverlässig die Herstellung von hochqualitativen Maschinenbauteilen, die in einer Vielzahl von industriellen Anwendungen eingesetzt werden, was ihren hohen Nutzen unterstreicht. Insgesamt bietet die EN ISO 683-2:2018 eine fundierte Grundlage für Hersteller und Anwender von legierten Stählen, die besonderen Wert auf Qualität, Konsistenz und anpassbare Anforderungen legen.
