9 Requirements
9.1 ** Steelmaking process
Unless a special steeimalung process is agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the steelmaking p e s s
for steels in accordance with this European Standard shall be at the discretion of the mandacturer.
9.2
Deliverycondition
The products shall be supplied in the delivery condition agreed in the order by reference to the process
route given in Table 5 and, where different alternatives exist, to the treatment conditions given in
Tables 6 to 8 (see also annex A).

9.3 Chemical composition
9.3.1 The chemical composition requirements given in Tables 1 to 3 apply in respect of the chemical
composition according to the cast analysis.

9.3.2 ** The product analysis shall not deviate fi-om the limiting values for the cast analysis as
specified in Tables 1 to 3 by more than the values given in Table 4.
9.4 Corrosion resistance
** Referring to resistance to intergranular corrosion as defined in EN I S 0 365 1-2, for austenitic and
austenitic-ferritic steels the specifications in Tables 7 and 8 apply.

NOTE 1 EN IS0 365 1-2 is not applicable for testing martensitic 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.
9.5 Mechanical properties

9.5.1 The tensile properties at room temperature and the impact energy at room and at low
temperatures as specified in Tables 6 to 8 apply for the relevant specified heat treatment condition.
NOTE Austenitic steels are insensitive to brittle fracture in the solution annealed condition. Because they do
not have a pronounced transition temperature, which is characteristic of other steels they are also useful for
application at cryogenic temperatures.
9.5.2 The values in Tables 9 to 11 apply for the 0,2 % and, Table 10 only, for the 1 % proof strength
at elevated temperatures. For austenitic steels, the values given in Table 12 apply for the tensile
strength at elevated temperatures.
Tensile strength values at elevated temperatures for austenitic-ferritic steels are given for guidance in
annex B.
9.6 ** Surface quality
Slight surface imperfections, inherent in the production process, are permitted.

If more exact requirements for the surface quality are necessary, these shall be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order, where appropriate, on the basis of EN 10221.
9.7 ** Internal soundness
For the internal soundness, where appropriate, requirements together with the conditions for their
verification shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.

the analysis method to be used shall be agreed upon, if possible, with reference to the corresponding
European Standardsor EURONORMs.
10.6.2 The tensile test at room temperature shall be carried out as described in EN 10002-1, generally

at the time of ordering.
A product analysis may be agreed at the time of ordering; unless otherwise agreed, one
test piece per cast shall be taken for determining the elements indicated with numerical
values for the particular steel grade in Tables 1 to 3.
Each batch consists of products coming from the same cast. The products must have
been subject to the same heat treatment cycle in the same h a c e . In the case of a
continuous h a c e or in process annealing a batch is the lot heat treated without
intermission with the same process parameters.
The shape and size of cross-sections of products in a single batch may be different

Optional for austenitic steels.

(informative)
Guidelines for further treatment (including heat treatment) in fabrication
A.l The guidelines given in Tables A.l to A.3 are intended for hot forming and heat treatment.
A.2 Flame cutting may adversely affect edge areas; where necessary, they should be machined.
A.3 As the corrosion resistance of stainless steels is only ensured with a metallically clean surface,
layers of scale and annealing colours produced during hot forming, heat treatment or welding
should be removed as far as possible before use. Finished parts made of ferritic and martensitic
steels with a minimum of 10,5 % Cr also require the best surface condition (e.g. polished) in order
to achieve maximum resistance to corrosion.

The temperatures of solution annealing shall be agreed for simulated heat-treated test pieces.
The solution annealing may be omitted, if the conditions for hot working and subsequent cooling are
such that the requirements for the mechanical properties of the product and the resistance to intergranular
corrosion as defined in IS0 365 1-2 are obtained and maintained after an additional solution annealing.
The lower end of the range specified for solution annealing should be aimed at for heat treatment as part
of further processing, because otherwise the mechanical properties might be affected. If the temperature
of hot forming does not drop below the lower temperature for solution annealing, a temperature of
980 "C is adequate as lower limit for Mo-free steels, a temperature of 1 O00 OC for steels with Mo
contents up to 3 % and a temperature of 1 020 "C for steels with Mo contents exceeding 3 %.
Cooling sufficiently rapid.
