Designation systems for steels - Part 1: Steel names

1.1   This European Standard specifies rules for designating steels by means of symbolic letters and numbers to express application and principal characteristics, e.g. mechanical, physical, chemical, so as to provide an abbreviated identification of steels.
NOTE   In the English language the designations covered by this European Standard are known as “steel names”; in the French language as “designation symbolique”; in the German language as “Kurznamen”.
1.2   This European Standard applies to steels specified in European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR) and CEN member's national standards.
1.3   These rules may be applied to non-standardized steels.
1.4   A system of numerical designation of steels known as steel numbers is specified in EN 10027 2.

Bezeichnungssysteme für Stähle - Teil 1: Kurznamen

1.1   Zur kurzgefassten Identifizierung von Stählen legt dieses Dokument die Regeln für die Bezeichnung der Stähle mittels Kennbuchstaben und -zahlen fest. Die Kennbuchstaben und -zahlen sind so gewählt, dass sie Hinweise auf wesentliche Merkmale, z.B. auf das Hauptanwendungsgebiet, auf mechanische oder physikalische Eigenschaften oder die chemische Zusammensetzung geben.
ANMERKUNG     Im Englischen werden die nach diesem Dokument gebildeten Bezeichnungen als "steel names", im Französischen als "désignation symbolique" und im Deutschen als "Kurznamen" bezeichnet.
1.2   Die Regeln nach diesem Dokument gelten für Stähle, die in Europäischen Normen (EN), Technischen Spezifikationen (TS), Technischen Berichten (TR) und den nationalen Normen der CEN-Mitglieder enthalten sind.
1.3   Diese Regeln dürfen auch zur Bezeichnung nicht genormter Stähle angewendet werden.
1.4   Ein numerisches Bezeichnungssystem für Stähle, bekannt als Werkstoffnummern, ist in EN 10027-2 festgelegt.

Systèmes de désignation des aciers - Partie 1: Désignation symbolique

1.1   La présente Norme européenne fixe les règles de désignation symbolique des aciers, au moyen de symboles littéraux et numériques exprimant des caractéristiques principales et d’application, par exemple des caractéristiques mécaniques, physiques, chimiques, afin d´identifier de façon abrégée les aciers.
NOTE   Dans la langue anglaise les désignations définies par la présente Norme européenne sont appelées «steel names», «désignations symboliques» dans la langue française, «Kurznamen» dans la langue allemande.
1.2   La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux aciers spécifiés dans les Normes européennes (EN), les Spécifications  techniques (TS), les Rapports techniques (TR) et les normes nationales des membres du CEN.
1.3   Ces règles peuvent également s’appliquer aux aciers qui ne sont pas définis dans des normes.
1.4   Un système de désignation numérique des aciers connu sous le nom de numéros des aciers est spécifié dans l´EN 10027-2.

Sistemi označevanja jekel - 1. del: Oznake jekel

1.1. Ta evropski standard določa pravila za označevanje jekel s simboličnimi črkami in številkami, ki izražajo uporabo in osnovne značilnosti, npr. mehanske, fizične, kemične, za namene prepoznavanja oznak jekel z okrajšavami.

1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies rules for designating steels by means of symbolic letters and numbers to express application and principal characteristics, e.g. mechanical, physical, chemical, so as to provide an abbreviated identification of steels. NOTE In the English language the designations covered by this European Standard are known as “steel names”; in the French language as “designation symbolique”; in the German language as “Kurznamen”. 1.2 This European Standard applies to steels specified in European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR) and CEN member's national standards. 1.3 These rules may be applied to non-standardized steels. 1.4 A system of numerical designation of steels known as steel numbers is specified in EN 10027-2. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 10020:2000, Definition and classification of grades of steel EN 10027-2, Designation systems for steels - Part 2: Numerical system EN 10079:2007, Definition of steel products 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 10020:2000 and EN 10079:2007 apply. 4 Principles 4.1 A unique steel name There shall be one unique steel name for each steel. 4.2 Formulation of steel names Steel names allocated in accordance with this European Standard shall comprise principal symbols as specified in 7.1. In order to avoid ambiguity, it may be necessary to supplement these principal symbols by additional symbols identifying additional characteristics of the steel or steel product, e.g. suitability for use at high or low temperatures, surface condition, treatment condition, de-oxidation. These additional symbols are given in 7.2. SIST EN 10027-1:2016

EN10027-1:2016 (E) 6
Unless otherwise specified in this European Standard the symbols used in the steel name shall be written without spaces. 4.3 Allocation of steel names 4.3.1 For steels specified in European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS) and Technical Reports (TR), steel names shall be allocated by the ECISS Technical Committee concerned. 4.3.2 For steels specified in CEN member's national standards and for other steels, steel names shall be allocated by or under the responsibility of the national standards body concerned. So as to avoid a variety of steel names being assigned to essentially the same steel, the European Registration Office as provided for in EN 10027-2 shall, when a steel number is applied for, cooperate with the national standards body concerned to ensure uniform steel names. 4.4 Consultation Where there are difficulties or disputes in establishing steel names ECISS/TC100 shall be consulted and shall advise accordingly. 5 Reference to product standards The complete designation of a steel product where quoted in orders or similar contractual documents shall include, in addition to the steel name, an indication of the technical delivery requirement in which the steel is specified. For steels specified in standards this shall be the reference number of the relevant product standard. Details of the structures of the steel name for the steel or steel product shall be provided in the relevant product or dimensional standard. 6 Classification of steel names For the purposes of designation, steel names are classified into two main categories: — Category 1: steels designated according to their application and mechanical or physical properties (see 7.3). — Category 2: steels designated according to their chemical composition (see 7.4). 7 Structure of steel names 7.1 Principal symbols Principal symbols for steels designated according to steel application and its mechanical and physical properties shall be assigned in accordance with 7.3. Principal symbols for steels designated according to the chemical composition of the steel shall be assigned in accordance with 7.4. Where a steel is specified in the form of a steel casting, its name as specified in Tables 1 to 15 shall be preceded by the letter G. Where a steel is produced by powder metallurgy, its name as specified in Tables 14 and 15 shall be preceded by the letters PM. SIST EN 10027-1:2016

EN10027-1:2016 (E) 7
7.2 Additional symbols Additional symbols may be added to the principal symbols and assigned in accordance with 7.3 and 7.4. Additional symbols are divided into two groups, i.e. group 1 and group 2 (see 7.3 and 7.4). If the symbols for group 1 are inadequate to describe the steel fully, then additional symbols from group 2 may be added. Symbols of group 2 shall only be used in conjunction with and follow symbols of group 1. Further additional symbols for steel products may follow the additional symbols of group 1 and group 2 and shall be selected in accordance with 7.3 and 7.4 from Tables 16, 17 and 18. These symbols shall be separated from preceding symbols by the plus sign (+). Additional symbols selected from Tables 16, 17 and 18 may be added to steel numbers allocated in accordance with EN 10027–2 and, when used, separated from the steel number by the plus sign (+). 7.3 Steels designated according to their application and mechanical or physical properties The designation of steel according to their application and mechanical or physical properties shall be made in accordance with Table 1 to Table 11.
