7 Requirements
7.1 General
The requirements in 7.2 and 7.3 apply for sampling, preparation of test pieces and testing specified in
Clauses 9 and 10.
7.2 Chemical composition
7.2.1 The chemical composition determined by heat analysis shall comply with the specified values of
Table 1.
For elements not defined in the table for the chemical composition for heat analysis, limit values of
Table 1 of EN 10020:2000 shall apply as maximum values.
7.2.2 The upper limits applicable for the product analysis are given in Table 2. The product analysis
shall be carried out when specified at the time of the order.
See Option 2, Clause 13 (product analysis).
For elements not defined in the table for the chemical composition for product analysis, limit values of
Table 1 of EN 10020:2000 shall apply as maximum values.
7.2.3 The maximum carbon equivalent values based on the heat analysis, given in Table 3 shall apply.
For determining the carbon equivalent value the following IIW (International Institute of Welding)
formula shall be used:
Cr++Mo V Ni+ Cu
Mn
CEV=C++ +
6 5 15
7.2.4 When products are supplied with a control on Si e.g. for hot-dip zinc-coating so that there could
be a need to increase the content of other elements like C and Mn to achieve the required tensile
properties, the maximum carbon equivalent values of Table 3 shall be increased as follows:
— for Si ≤ 0,04 %, increase the value of the CEV by 0,02;
— for Si ≤ 0,25 %, increase the value of the CEV by 0,01.
7.3 Mechanical properties
7.3.1 General
7.3.1.1 Under the inspection and testing conditions as specified in Clauses 8, 9 and 10 and in the
delivery condition as specified in 6.3 the mechanical properties shall comply with the values given in
Tables 4, 5 and 6.
The maximum stress-relief temperature should be at least 30 °C below the tempering temperature and
not be held for more than 1 h. As this temperature is normally not known in advance it is recommended
that the purchaser if he intends to perform a stress relief treatment to contact the steel producer. If the
purchaser intends to stress relief the products at higher temperatures or for longer times than
mentioned above the minimum values of the mechanical properties after such a treatment should be
agreed upon at the time of the order.
7.3.1.2 For the products specified in this document the nominal thickness applies.

7.3.2 Impact properties
7.3.2.1 The verification of the impact energy value shall be carried out, unless otherwise agreed
upon (see 7.3.2.2 and 7.3.2.3) with longitudinal test pieces for:
— quality Q at −20 °C;
— quality QL at −40 °C;
— quality QL1 at −60 °C.
7.3.2.2 Another temperature (given in Tables 5 and 6) may be agreed upon at the time of the order.
See Option 24, Clause 13 (Agreement on another impact test temperature).
7.3.2.3 If agreed upon at the time of the order the impact properties shall be verified on transverse
V-notch test pieces instead of longitudinal test pieces with minimum values as given in Table 6.
See Option 30, Clause 13 (Impact properties verified on transverse test pieces).
7.3.2.4 If specified at the time of the order on each heat treatment unit the impact properties only
or the impact properties and the tensile properties shall be verified.
See Option 13, Clause 13 (For each heat treatment unit impact properties only to be verified).
See Option 14, Clause 13 (For each heat treatment unit impact and tensile properties to be verified).
7.3.3 Improved deformation properties perpendicular to the surface
If agreed upon at the time of the order the products shall comply with one of the requirements of
EN 10164.
See Option 4, Clause 13 (Deformation properties perpendicular to the surface).
7.4 Technological properties
7.4.1 Weldability
The steels specified in this document do not have unlimited suitability for the various welding
processes, since the behaviour of a steel during and after welding depends not only on the material but
also on the dimensions and shape and on the manufacturing and service conditions of the components.
General requirements for arc welding of the steels specified in this document shall be as given in
EN 1011-2.
NOTE With increasing product thickness and strength level cold cracking can occur. Cold cracking is caused
by the following factors in combination:
— the amount of diffusible hydrogen in the weld metal;
— a brittle structure of the heat affected zone;
— significant tensile stress concentrations in the welded joint.
7.4.2 Formability and flame straightening
7.4.2.1 General
Recommendations regarding hot forming, cold forming and flame-straightening are laid out in
CEN/TR 10347.
