7 Requirements
7.1 Chemical composition, hardness and hardenability
7.1.1 Table 1 gives a survey on combinations of usual heat-treatment conditions at delivery, product forms
and requirements according to Tables 3 to 7 (chemical composition, hardenability, maximum hardness, hard-
ness range).
7.1.2 Unless otherwise agreed (see 5.2 d) for alloy steels the hardenability requirements given in Table 5
apply. If agreed at the time of enquiry and order alloy steels with restricted hardenability scatter bands given in
Table 6 can be supplied.
7.2 Technological properties
7.2.1 Machinability
All steels are machinable in the conditions “annealed to maximum hardness requirements”, “treated to hard-
ness range”, “treated to ferrite/pearlite structure and hardness range” and "normalized".
Where improved machinability is required, the grades with a specified sulphur range should be ordered. (See
also Table 3, footnote c).
7.2.2 Shearability of semi-finished products and bars
7.2.2.1 Under suitable shearing conditions (preheating, application of blades with a profile adapted to that
of the product, etc.) all steels are shearable in the condition “annealed to maximum hardness requirements”.
7.2.2.2 The steel types 28Cr4, 28CrS4, 20MnCr5, 20MnCrS5, 22CrMoS3-5, 20MoCr3, 20MoCrS3,
20MoCr4, 20MoCrS4, 16NiCr4, 16NiCrS4, 18NiCr5-4, 17CrNi6-6, 15NiCr13, 17NiCrMo6-4, 17NiCrMoS6-4,
20NiCrMoS6-4 and 18CrNiMo7-6 and the corresponding grades with requirements on hardenability (see Ta-
bles 5 and 6), are, under suitable conditions, also shearable when supplied in the "treated to improve sheara-
bility" condition with the hardness requirements given in Table 7.
7.2.2.3 The non alloyed steels and the steels 17Cr3, 17CrS3, 16MnCr5, 16MnCrS5, 16MnCrB5, 18CrMo4,
18CrMoS4, 10NiCr5-4, 20NiCrMo2-2, 20NiCrMoS2-2 and the corresponding grades with requirements on
hardenability (see Tables 5 and 6) are shearable in the untreated condition under suitable conditions.
7.3 Structure
7.3.1 Unless otherwise agreed the steel shall show a fine grain structure with an austenitic grain size of 5 or
finer.
7.3.2 The steels shall have a degree of cleanliness corresponding to the special steel quality (see A.1
and C).
7.4 Internal soundness
Where appropriate, requirements relating to the internal soundness of products shall be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order, if possible with reference to European standards. EN 10160 specifies requirements of ul-
trasonic testing of flat products of thickness equal to or greater than 6 mm and EN 10308 specifies require-
ments of ultrasonic testing of steel bars (see A.2).

prEN 10084:2006 (E)
7.5 Surface quality
7.5.1 All products shall have a surface finish appropriate to the manufacturing processes applied.
7.5.2 Minor surface imperfections which may occur also under normal manufacturing conditions, such as
scores originating from rolled-in scale in the case of hot-rolled products, shall not be regarded as defects.
7.5.3 Where appropriate, requirements relating to the surface quality of the products shall be agreed on at
the time of enquiry and order, in the case of hot-rolled bars and rods with reference to EN 10221, in the case
of flat products with reference to EN 10163-2.
NOTE It is more difficult to detect and eliminate surface discontinuities from coiled products than from cut lengths.
This should be taken into account when agreements on surface quality are made.
7.5.4 If suitability of bars, wide flats and rod for bright drawing is required, this shall be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order.
7.5.5 The removal of surface defects by welding is only permitted with the approval of the purchaser or his
representative.
The method and permissible depth of defect removal, where appropriate, shall be agreed at the time of en-
quiry and order.
7.6 Dimensions, tolerances on dimensions and shape
The nominal dimensions, tolerances on dimensions and shape for the product shall be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order, if possible, with reference to the dimensional standards applicable (see annex B).
8 Inspection and testing
8.1 Types and contents of inspection documents
8.1.1 Products complying with this European Standard shall be ordered and delivered with one of the in-
spection documents as specified in EN 10204. The type of document shall be agreed upon at the time of en-
quiry and order. If the order does not contain any specification of this type, a test report shall be issued.
8.1.2 If, in accordance with the agreements made at the time of enquiry and order, a test report 2.2 is to be
issued, it shall contain the following information:
a) the confirmation that the material complies with the requirements of the order;
b) the results of the cast analysis for all the elements specified in Table 3 for the steel grade concerned.
8.1.3 If, in accordance with the order agreements, inspection certificate 3.1 or 3.2 is to be issued, the spe-
cific tests described in 8.2 shall be carried out and the results shall be confirmed in the inspection certificate.
In addition, the inspection certificate shall include the following information:
a) the manufacturer's results for the cast analysis of all elements specified in Table 3 for the steel grade
concerned;
b) the results of inspections and tests ordered as a result of supplementary options (see annex A);
c) the symbol letters or numbers relating the inspection certificates, test pieces and products to each other.

8.2 Specific inspection and testing
8.2.1 Verification of hardenability
8.2.1.1 For non alloy steels, the hardness requirements given in table 1, column 8, sub-clause 2, shall be
verified.
8.2.1.2 For alloy steels as far as available the manufacturer has the option to verify the hardenability by cal-
culation. The calculation method is left to the discretion of the manufacturer. If agreed at the time of enquiry
and order the manufacturer shall give sufficient information about the calculation for the customer to confirm
the result.
If for certain steel grades a calculation formula is not available or in the case of dispute an end quench harde-
nability test shall be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 642. The temperature for quenching shall comply
with table 8 of this document. The hardness values shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 6508-1,
method C.
8.2.2 Verification of the grain size
If the verification of fine grain structure is agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the verification of fine grain
size shall be made according to annex A.4.
8.2.3 Visual and dimensional inspection
A sufficient number of products shall be inspected to ensure compliance with the specification.
8.2.4 Retests
See EN 10021.

a
Elements not quoted in this table shall not be intentionally added to the steel without the agreement of the purchaser, other than for the purpose of finish
ing the heat. All reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent the addition of such elements from scrap or other material used in manufacture which
affect the hardenability, mechanical properties and applicability.
b
Where requirements are made on hardenability (see Tables 5 and 6), slight deviations from the limits for the cast analysis are permitted, except for
phosphorus and sulphur; these deviations shall, however, not exceed in the case of carbon ± 0,01 % and in all other cases the values acc. to table 4.
c
Steels with improved machinability as a result of the addition of higher sulphur contents up to around 0,10 % S (including resulphurized steels with con-
trolled inclusion content (e.g. Ca-treatment)) may be supplied on request. In this c
