Steel castings - Steel castings for general engineering uses
This European Standard applies to steel castings:
- for general engineering uses. Its uses include machinery (mechanical, electrical...), automotive industries, railroad, armament, agricultural equipment, mining, etc.
In cases where castings are joined by welding by the founder, this document applies.
In cases where castings are welded:
- to wrought products (plates, tubes, forgings...), or
- by non-founders,
this document does not apply.
Stahlguss - Stahlguss für allgemeine Anwendungen
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Stahlguss
- für allgemeine Anwendungen. Die Verwendung schließt Maschinen (mechanisch, elektrisch, ...), Kraftfahrzeugindustrie, Eisenbahnen, Rüstung, Landmaschinen, Bergbau usw., ein.
In Fällen, in denen Gussstücke vom Gießer zusammengeschweißt werden, gilt dieses Dokument.
In Fällen, in denen Gussstücke geschweißt werden
- zusammen mit umformbaren Erzeugnissen (Bleche, Rohre, Schmiedestücke, ...), oder
- von anderen als Gießern,
gilt dieses Dokument nicht.
Aciers moulés - Aciers moulés d'usage général
La présente norme Européenne s’applique aux aciers moulés utilisés :
- en mécanique générale. Leur utilisation inclut l’équipement (mécanique, électrique…), l’industrie automobile, le ferroviaire, l’armement, les équipements agricoles, l’industrie minière, etc.
Le présent document s’applique aux cas où les pièces moulées sont assemblées par soudage par le fondeur.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux cas où les pièces moulées sont soudées :
- à des produits corroyés (tôles, tubes, pièces forgées …) ; ou
- par des non-fondeurs.
Jekleni ulitki - Jekleni ulitki za splošne tehnične namene
Ta dokument se uporablja za jeklene ulitke za splošne tehnične namene. Nameni uporabe zajemajo stroje (mehanske, električne ...), avtomobilsko industrijo, železnico, vojno opremo, kmetijsko opremo, rudarstvo. Ta dokument se uporablja v primerih, ko spajanje ulitkov z varjenjem izvaja livar. Kadar se ulitke vari na gnetene zlitine (plošče, cevi, kovane predmete ...) ali ko to izvajajo druge osebe, ki niso livarji, se ta dokument ne uporablja.

Overview
EN 10293:2015 - "Steel castings - Steel castings for general engineering uses" is a European Standard published by CEN that defines technical delivery conditions for steel castings intended for a wide range of engineering applications. It supersedes EN 10293:2005 and aligns its structure with EN 1559‑1:2011 and EN 1559‑2:2014. The standard covers material designation, manufacture, required chemical composition and mechanical properties, welding by founders, inspection, marking, packaging and related test methods.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and use: Applies to steel castings for general engineering uses (machinery, automotive, railroad, armament, agricultural equipment, mining, etc.). It applies when castings are welded by the founder; it does not apply when castings are welded to wrought products or welded by non‑founders.
- Material designation: Defines grade names and suffixes for heat‑treatment variants (e.g., grades such as GE200, GS200 and new grades added in 2015 like GE270, GE320, GE360).
- Chemical composition: Requires cast analysis to conform to tabulated composition limits and restricts intentional addition of unspecified elements unless agreed with the purchaser. Maximum contents for unspecified elements are given.
- Mechanical properties and heat treatment: Specifies tensile and impact property requirements, heat‑treatment symbols and limits on ruling/test block thickness. Yield proof (Rp0,2) and impact testing conditions are defined; alternative impact values/temperatures must be specified by the purchaser when applicable.
- Welding guidance: Annex A provides guidance on preheat, interpass and post‑weld heat treatment and references welding group classifications (EN ISO 11970).
- Inspection & testing: Defines inspection documents, test units, sampling, non‑destructive testing and procedures for retests, sorting and reprocessing.
- Marking, packaging and complaints: Includes requirements for marking castings, packaging/protection and complaint handling.
Practical applications
EN 10293:2015 is used to:
- Specify material and acceptance criteria when procuring steel castings for mechanical and structural components.
- Define heat‑treatment and mechanical property requirements during casting design and manufacturing.
- Guide founding and in‑foundry welding practices and post‑weld heat treatment for cast parts.
- Establish inspection, test and documentation requirements for quality assurance and compliance.
Who should use this standard
- Foundries and casting manufacturers producing engineering steel castings
- Design and procurement engineers in automotive, rail, mining, agricultural and defense industries
- Quality, inspection and testing laboratories
- Welding engineers responsible for in‑foundry welding and post‑weld heat treatment
