f) type of inspection document according to EN 10204 (see 8.1).
5.2 Options
A number of options are specified in Clause 13. In the event that the purchaser does not indicate his
wish to implement any of these options, the supplier shall supply in accordance with the basic
specification, see 5.1 a) to d) and f).
6 Manufacturing process
6.1 Steel making process
The steel making process is at the discretion of the manufacturer with the exclusion of the open hearth
(Siemens-Martin) process.
See Option 1, Clause 13 (details of manufacturing process).
6.2 Deoxidation and grain structure
Steels of EN 10025-6 shall:
— be fully killed;
— have a fine grain structure;
— contain nitrogen binding elements in amounts sufficient to bind the available nitrogen (for example
min. 0,020 % total aluminium). The usual guideline is a minimum aluminium to nitrogen ratio of
2:1, when no other nitrogen binding elements are present. Such other elements and their content
(% mass) shall be reported in the inspection document (see Table 1).
6.3 Delivery conditions
The products shall be supplied in the quenched and tempered condition (Q) as defined in Clause 3.
NOTE Direct quenching after hot-rolling followed by tempering is considered equivalent to conventional
quenching and tempering.
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).
9

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 10025-6:2019
EN 10025-6:2019 (E)
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).

EN 10025-6:2019 (E)
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.
7.4.2.2 Hot-forming
Hot forming is not recommended for quenched and tempered steels as the necessary heat treatment
after hot forming is very difficult to reproduce.
7.4.2.3 Cold formability
7.4.2.3.1 General
NOTE Cold forming leads to reduction in the ductility. Furthermore it is important to draw the attention to
the risk of brittle fracture in connection with hot-dip zinc coating.

(% mass) shall be reported in the inspection document (see Table 1).
6.3 Delivery conditions
The products shall be supplied in the quenched and tempered condition (Q) as defined in Clause 3.
NOTE Direct quenching after hot-rolling followed by tempering is considered equivalent to conventional
quenching and tempering.
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).

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 10025-6:2019
EN 10025-6:2019 (E)
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).

SIST EN 10025-6:2019
EN 10025-6:2019 (E)
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.
7.4.2.2 Hot-forming
Hot forming is not recommended for quenched and tempered steels as the necessary heat treatment
after hot forming is very difficult to reproduce.
7.4.2.3 Cold formability
7.4.2.3.1 General
NOTE Cold forming leads to reduction in the ductility. Furthermore it is important to draw the attention to
the risk of brittle fracture in connection with hot-dip zinc coating.

If specified at the time of the order plates and wide flats with a nominal thickness ≤ 16 mm are suitable
for flanging without cracking with the indicative values for the inside minimum bend radii for cold
forming as given in Annex B.
See Option 11, Clause 13 (Flangeability without cracking).
7.4.3 Hot-dip zinc-coating
EN ISO 1461 should be used to specify coating requirements. EN ISO 14713-2 provides further
guidance, including information on the influence of various factors, including steel chemical
composition, on the coating formation.
Option 5, Clause 13 can be used to order steels with a chemical composition required for hot-dip zinc
coating. When option 5 is implemented, the purchaser and manufacturer

European foreword
This document (prEN 10025-6:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 103
“Structural steels other than reinforcements”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the second CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 10025-6:2004+A1:2009.
This European Standard consists of the following parts, under the general title Hot rolled products of
structural steels:
Part 1: General
Part 2: Technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels
Part 3: Technical delivery conditions for normalized/normalized rolled weldable fine grain structural
steels
Part 4: Technical delivery conditions for thermomechanical rolled weldable fine grain structural steels
Part 5: Technical delivery conditions for structural steels with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance
Part 6: Technical delivery conditions for flat products of high yield strength structural steels in the
quenched and tempered condition
For a short transition period there will be a coexistence of EN 10025-1:2004 with EN 10025-2:2018 to
EN 10025−6:2018, since the new EN 10025-1 has to fulfil the requirements of the CPR and will
therefore be published later. For this short transition period up-to-the publication of the next edition of
part 1 the following has to be taken into account for EN 10025-1:2004:
a) all dated and undated references to EN 10025-1:2004 to EN 10025-6:2004 are unchanged to this
version with following exception: In 9.2.2.1 the reference must be 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 instead of 8.4.1
and 8.4.2;
b) Clauses 5, 12 and 13 of EN 10025-1:2004 are no longer relevant.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
a) part 6 is now a stand-alone standard for technical delivery conditions including the preparation of
samples and test pieces, the test methods, the marking, labelling and packaging and the drawings;
b) for construction purposes this standard and part 1 must be used together;
c) requirements for elements not definded were added to 7.2.1 and 7.2.2;
d) Option 33 was added, Option 3 was renumbered to Option 24 and Option 9 was deleted;
e) Si-content in 7.2.4 was changed;
f) 7.4.3 concerning hot-dip zinc coating was modified;
g) in Tables 3 and 4 the values were extended for thicknesses up to 200 mm;

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 10025-6:2018
prEN 10025-6:2018 (E)
5.2 Options
A number of options are specified in Clause 13. In the event that the purchaser does not indicate his
wish to implement any of these options, the supplier shall supply in accordance with the basic
specification, see 5.1 a) to d) and f).
6 Manufacturing process
6.1 Steel making process
The steel making process is at the discretion of the manufacturer with the exclusion of the open hearth
(Siemens-Martin) process.
See Option 1 (details of manufacturing process).
6.2 Deoxidation and grain structure
Steels of EN 10025-6 shall:
— be fully killed;
— have a fine grain structure;
— contain nitrogen binding elements in amounts sufficient to bind the available nitrogen (for example
min. 0,020 % total aluminium). The usual guideline is a minimum aluminium to nitrogen ratio of
2:1, when no other nitrogen binding elements are present. Such other elements shall be reported in
the inspection document (see Table 1).
6.3 Delivery conditions
The products shall be supplied in the quenched and tempered condition (Q) as defined in Clause 3.
NOTE Direct quenching after hot-rolling followed by tempering is considered equivalent to conventional
quenching and tempering.
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 ladle analysis shall comply with the specified values of
Table 1.
For elements not defined in the table for the chemical composition for ladle 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 (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.

oSIST prEN 10025-6:2018
prEN 10025-6:2018 (E)
7.2.3 The maximum carbon equivalent values based on the ladle 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 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
(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 at the time of the order.
See Option 24 (Agreement on another impact test temperature).
7.3.2.3 If agreed 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 (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.
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 10025-6:2018
prEN 10025-6:2018 (E)
See Option 13 (For each heat treatment unit impact properties only to be verified).
See Option 14 (For each heat treatment unit impact and tensile properties to be verified).
7.3.3 Improved deformation properties perpendicular to the surface
If agreed at the time of the order the products shall comply with one of the requirements of EN 10164.
See Option 4 (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
NOTE Recommendations regarding hot forming, cold forming and flame-straightening are laid down in
CEN/TR 10347.
7.4.2.2 Hot-forming
Hot forming is not recommended for quenched and tempered steels as the necessary heat treatment
after hot forming is very difficult to reproduce.
7.4.2.3 Cold formability
7.4.2.3.1 General
NOTE Cold forming leads to reduction in the ductility. Furthermore it is necessary to draw the attention to
the risk of brittle fracture in connection with hot-dip zinc coating.
7.4.2.3.2 Flangeability
If specified at the time of the order plates and wide flats with a nominal thickness ≤ 16 mm are suitable
for flanging without cracking with the indicative values for the inside minimum bend radii for cold
forming as given in Annex A.
See Option 11 (Flangeability without cracking).
7.4.3 Hot-dip zinc-coating
EN ISO 1461 should be used to specify coating requirements. EN ISO 14713-2 provides further
guidance, including information on the influence of various factors, including steel chemical
composition, on the coating formation.
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 10025-6:2018
prEN 10025-6:2018 (E)
Option 5 can be used to order steels with a chemical composition required for hot-dip zinc coating.
When option 5 is implemented, the purchaser and manufacturer shall agree to a steel composition
(ladle analysis) of silicon and phosphorous according to either Category A (or steels satisfying the
formula Si ≤ 0,03 % and Si+2,5P ≤ 0,09 %) or Category B (limited to 0,14 % < Si ≤ 0,25 %) or Category D
(limited to 0,25 % < Si ≤ 0,35 %) with required values as cited by the ranges given in
EN ISO 14713-2:2009, Table 1, column 2.
NOTE 1 EN ISO 14713-2:2009, Table 1, gives guidance on typical coating characteristics associated with certain
steel compositions on the basis of the surface composition of silicon and phosphorous.
The maximum carbon equivalent shall be increased by 0,02 or by 0,01 (see 7.2.4).
NOTE 2 Products quenched in water may be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking after hot-dip zinc-coating.
