— austenitic-ferritic steels,
— ferritic steels,
— martensitic steels,
— precipitation hardening steels.
See also EN 10088-1:2023, Annex C.
6 Requirements
6.1 Steelmaking process
Unless a special steelmaking process is agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the steelmaking process
for steels conforming to this document shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer.
6.2 Delivery condition
The products shall be supplied in the delivery condition agreed at the time of enquiry and order by
reference to the process route given in Table 6 and, where different alternatives exist, to the treatment
conditions given in Tables 7 to 11, 17 and 18 (see also Annex B).
6.3 Chemical composition
6.3.1 The chemical composition requirements given in Tables 1 to 4 apply with respect to the chemical
composition according to the cast analysis.
Elements not quoted (“-”) or not listed in these tables shall not be intentionally added to the steel without
the agreement of the purchaser except for finishing the cast. All appropriate precautions shall be taken
to avoid the addition of such elements from scrap and other materials used in production which would
impair mechanical properties and the suitability of the steel.
6.3.2 The product analysis may deviate from the limiting values for the cast analysis given in Tables 1
to 4 by the values listed in Table 5.
6.4 Chemical corrosion resistance properties
For austenitic, austenitic-ferritic and ferritic steels the specification in Tables 7 to 9, referring to
resistance to intergranular corrosion as determined according to EN ISO 3651-2, applies (see also 7.4.6).
NOTE 1 EN ISO 3651-2 is not applicable for testing martensitic and precipitation hardening steels.
NOTE 2 The corrosion resistance of stainless steels is very dependent on the type of environment and can
therefore not always be clearly ascertained through laboratory tests. It is therefore advisable to draw on the
available experience of the use of the steels.
6.5 Mechanical properties
6.5.1 The mechanical properties at room temperature as specified in Tables 7 to 11 apply for the
relevant specified heat treatment condition. This does not apply to the process route 1U (hot rolled, not
heat treated, not descaled).
If by agreement at the time of ordering the products shall be supplied in a non-heat treated condition, the
mechanical properties specified in Tables 7 to 11 shall be obtained from reference test pieces which have
received the appropriate heat treatment (simulated heat treatment). For the process routes 1M and 2M
for patterned finish, the mechanical properties specified in Tables 7 to 11 also do not apply. In this case,
agreements shall be made at the time of enquiry and order, e.g. performing a bend test according to EN
ISO 7438.
For cold worked products, the tensile strength levels at ambient temperature as specified in Table 17
apply. The available tensile strength levels in the cold worked condition are indicated in Table 19.
Alternatively, cold worked products can be ordered according to their 0,2 % proof strength as given in
Tables 18 and 20.
NOTE Austenitic steels are insensitive to brittle fracture in the solution annealed condition. As they do not have
a pronounced transition temperature, which is characteristic of other steels, they are also useful for application at
cryogenic temperatures.
6.5.2 The values in Tables 12 to 16 apply for the 0,2 % and 1,0 % proof strength at elevated
temperatures.
6.5.3 In case of demand for larger thicknesses than stated in Tables 7 to 11, appropriate mechanical
property values shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
6.6 Surface quality
Slight surface imperfections, inherent in the rolling process, are permitted.
When products are delivered in coil form, the degree and extent of such imperfections may be expected
to be greater, due to the impracticability of removing short lengths of coil. For hot rolled quarto plates
(symbol P in Tables 7 to 11), the requirements in EN 10163-2, class A2, apply unless otherwise agreed.
For other products, where necessary, more precise requirements on surface quality may be agreed at the
time of enquiry and order.
Products delivered with hot rolled or cold rolled finishes (see Table 6) shall, unless otherwise agreed, be
supplied with only one surface inspected to the required finish (the prime surface). In such instances, the
manufacturer should indicate the prime surface, by marking the material or the packaging, or by some
other agreed method. The default method is to mark the prime surface, and to make this surface the top
surface of plates, sheets and cut lengths, or the outside surface of coiled products.
6.7 Internal soundness
The products shall be free of internal defects which would exclude them from being used for their usual
purpose. For austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steel flat products with a thickness ≥ 6 mm,
ultrasonic testing may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order in accordance with EN 10307.
6.8 Formability at room temperature
Cold formability may be verified by elongation in the tensile test.
6.9 Dimensions, and tolerances on dimensions and shape
The dimensions, and the tolerances on dimensions and shape shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and
order, as far as possible with reference to the dimensional standards listed in Annex C. EN ISO 18286
shall normally only be applied for product form P (individually hot rolled plates, i.e. “quarto plates”) and
not for product form H (continuously hot rolled strip, or sheet or plate cut off from it), for which
EN ISO 9444-2 shall be applied. When applying EN ISO 18286, tolerances on width and length class A
shall apply, unless specifically agreed otherwise at the time of enquiry and order.
6.10 Calculation of mass and tolerances on mass
6.10.1 The nominal mass shall be calculated by using the steel density given in Annex E of
EN 10088-1:2023 and the nominal dimensions of the steel product.
6.10.2 The dimensional standards listed in Annex C do not specify tolerances on mass, which therefore
may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
7 Inspection and testing
7.1 General
The appropriate process control, inspection, testing and modelling shall be carried out to ensure that the
product complies with the requirements of the order.
This includes the following:
— suitable frequency of verification of the dimensions of the products;
— adequate intensity of visual examination of the surface quality of the products;
— appropriate frequency and type of test to ensure that the correct grade of steel is used.
The nature and frequency of these verifications, examinations and tests is determined in the light of the
degree of consistency that has been determined by the evidence of the quality system. In view of this,
verifications by specific tests for these requirements are not necessary unless otherwise agreed.
7.2 Agreement on tests and inspection documents
7.2.1 Products complying with this document shall be ordered and delivered with one of the inspection
documents as specified in EN 10204. The type of document shall be agreed upon at the time of enquiry
and order. If the order does not contain any specification of this type, at least a test report 2.2 shall be
issued.
7.2.2 If it is agreed to issue a test report 2.2 in accordance with EN 10204, it shall indicate the following
information:
a) information groups A, B and Z of EN 10168;
b) results of the cast analysis in accordance with Table 1 to 4 with code numbers C71 to C92 in
EN 10168.
7.2.3 If the issuing of an inspection certificate 3.1 or 3.2 according to EN 10204 has been agreed,
specific inspections according to 7.3 shall be carried out and the following information shall be given in
the inspection document with the code numbers and details required by EN 10168:
a) information groups A, B and Z of EN 10168;
b) results of the cast analysis in accordance with Table 1 to 4 with code numbers C71 to C92 in
EN 10168;
c) results of all mandatory (m) tests according to Table 21;
d) results of any optional (o) test according to Table 21 or any further product verification agreed at the
time of enquiry and order.
7.3 Specific inspection and testing
7.3.1 Extent of testing
The tests to be carried out, either mandatorily (m) or optionally by agreement (o), and the composition
and size of the test units, and the number of sample products, samples and test pieces to be taken are
given in Table 21.
7.3.2 Selection and preparation of samples and test pieces
7.3.2.1 Sampling and sample preparation shall be in accordance with the requirements of
EN ISO 14284 and EN ISO 377. In addition, for the mechanical tests, the stipulations in 7.3.2.2 apply.
7.3.2.2 In accordance with Table 22, samples for tensile testing shall be taken from halfway between
the centre and a longitudinal edge. If it has been agreed that optional impact tests shall be carried out, the
test samples shall be taken from the same location.
The samples shall be taken from products in the delivery condition. If agreed, the samples may be taken
before flattening. For samples to be given a simulated heat treatment (see also 6.5.1) the conditions for
annealing, hardening and tempering shall be agreed.
7.3.2.3 Samples for hardness testing on martensitic steels and for optional testing of resistance to
intergranular corrosion shall be taken from the same location as those for the mechanical tests (see
7.3.2.2). The test pieces for testing of resistance to intergranular corrosion shall be pre-bend as shown in
Figure 1.

strength, the tensile strength and the elongation after fracture shall be determined. For austenitic steels
only, also the 1,0 % proof strength shall be determined.
7.4.3 If a tensile test at elevated temperature has been ordered, this shall be carried out in accordance
with EN ISO 6892-2. As for room temperature testing (see 7.4.2), 0,2 % proof strength, and for austenitic
steels only, also the 1,0 % proof strength shall be determined.
7.4.4 For the determination of mechanical properties measured by tensile testing, the manufacturer
may use modelling with a verification method approved in accordance with EN 10373, if agreed with the
purchaser at the time of enquiry and order.
7.4.5 If an impact test has been ordered, it shall be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 148-1 on test
pieces with a V-notch and using a striker with a radius of 2 mm (KV ). The test result shall be determined
as an average value obtained from a set of at least three test pieces (see also EN 10021).
7.4.6 If a hardness test has been ordered, Brinell hardness test shall be carried out in accordance with
EN ISO 6506-1, Vickers hardness test in accordance with EN ISO 6507-1, and Rockwell hardness test in
accordance with EN ISO 6508-1.
7.4.7 The resistance to intergranular corrosion shall be tested in accordance with EN ISO 3651-2.
