Steel wire for mechanical springs - Part 3: Stainless spring steel wire

1.1   This Part of EN 10270 applies to the grades of stainless steels listed in Table 1, which are usually used in the cold drawn condition in the form of wire of circular cross-section up to 10,00 mm in diameter, for the production of springs and spring parts that are exposed to corrosive effects and sometimes to slightly increased temperatures (see A.1).
1.2   In addition to the steels listed in Table 1 certain of the steel grades covered by EN 10088-3 e.g.1.4571, 1.4539, 1.4028 are also used for springs, although to much lesser extent. In these cases the mechanical properties (tensile strength, etc.) should be agreed between purchaser and supplier. Similarly, diameters between 10,00 mm and 15,00 mm may be ordered against this standard; in this case the parties should agree upon the required mechanical characteristics.
1.3   In addition to this part of EN 10270 the general technical delivery requirements of EN 10021 are applicable.

Stahldraht für Federn - Teil 3: Nicht rostender Federstahldraht

Anwendungsbereich
1.1 Dieser Teil von EN 10270 gilt für die nicht rostenden Stähle nach Tabelle 1, die üblicherweise im
kaltgezogenen Zustand in Form von Draht mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt bis 10,00 mm Durchmesser für die
Fertigung von Federn und federnden Teilen, die Korrosionseinflüssen und mitunter leicht erhöhten Temperaturen
(siehe A.1) ausgesetzt sind, verwendet werden.
1.2 Außer den Stählen nach Tabelle 1 werden auch einige Sorten nach EN 10088-3, zum Beispiel 1.4571,
1.4539, 1.4028, für Federn verwendet, allerdings in wesentlich geringerem Umfang. In diesen Fällen sollten die
mechanischen Eigenschaften (Zugfestigkeit usw.) zwischen Besteller und Lieferer vereinbart werden. Ähnlich
können Durchmesser zwischen 10,00 mm und 15,00 mm nach dieser Norm bestellt werden; in diesem Falle
sollten die Beteiligten die benötigten mechanischen Eigenschaften vereinbaren.
1.3 Zusätzlich zu diesem Teil der EN 10270 gelten die allgemeinen technischen Lieferbedingungen nach
EN 10021.

Fils en acier pour ressorts mécaniques - Partie 3: Fils en acier inoxydable

Domaine d'application
1.1   La présente partie 3 de l'EN 10270 s'applique aux nuances d'acier inoxydable écrouies répertoriées au Tableau 1, qui sont habituellement utilisées a l'état tréfilé a froid sous forme de fils de section transversale circulaire d'un diametre pouvant atteindre 10 mm, destinés a la fabrication de ressorts et de parties de ressorts soumises a des effets corrosifs et parfois a des températures moyennement élevées (voir A.1)
1.2   Outre les aciers énumérés au Tableau 1, certaines des nuances d'acier couvertes par l'EN 10088-3, telles que 1.4571, 1.4539, 1.4028, etc., sont également utilisées dans une moindre mesure pour la fabrication de ressorts. Dans ces cas, les caractéristiques mécaniques (résistance a la traction, etc.) doivent faire l'objet d'un accord entre l'acheteur et le producteur.
De la meme maniere, il est possible de commander des fils ayant des diametres compris entre 10,00 mm et 15,00 mm, sur la base de la présente norme ; dans ce cas, les parties doivent s'entendre sur les caractéristiques mécaniques requises.
1.3   Les conditions générales techniques de livraison de l'EN 10021 s'ajoutent aux dispositions de la présente partie de l'EN 10270.

Therefore the steel should be of suchquality so that by the heat treatment after drawing the mechanical properties are met.5.5.2In addition to the requirements of Table 2 the maximum tensile strength range within one unitpackage (individual coil, spool or reel,.) shall satisfy Table 3.For straightened and cut lengths the values of Table 3 apply for the individual bundles.Table 3 — Tensile strength range within an individual unit package(coil/spool/bundle)Wire diameter d (mm)Max. range (MPa)d

The spring coiled in accordance with 6.4.3 shall show a defectfree surface condition without splits or fracture; the coil shall have uniform pitch of the turns and a fairdimensional regularity of its diameter.NOTEAlthough the usefulness of the coiling test is not generally recognized, it has been retained since itoffers the possibility of revealing internal stresses. If doubtful test results are obtained the wire concerned shouldnot be rejected immediately but efforts should be made by the parties concerned to elucidate the cause.5.6.2 Wrapping testThe wrapping test may be applied to wire with a diameter of 0,30 mm to 3,00 mm. The wire shall notshow any sign of cracks or surface imperfections when closely wrapped eight turns around a mandrelof a diameter equal to the wire size (see also 6.4.4).5.6.3 Bend testWhere requested, the bend test may be applied for wire with a diameter over 3,00 mm. The wire shallwithstand the test without any sign of failure.NOTEIn some applications the material is severely deformed by bending. Such is the case for extensionsprings with tight hooks, springs with bends on legs, spring wire forms, etc. In such cases the bend test providesfor a wire test very close to actual use.SIST EN 10270-3:2002

It shallbe wound so that there are no kinks.Where wire is delivered on spools, spoolless cores or carriers up to 10 % of those may consist of amaximum of two wire lengths.
The joints shall be properly made, suitably marked and labelle
