EURONORM 21 General technical delivery requirements for steel and iron and steel products.

REQUIREMENTS (a) The shape, surface condition and the dimensions of the product (see clauses 3.3 and 3.8). (b) The type of steel (see Tables 2 to 5) as well as the heattreated condition (see clause 3.3). (c) The requirement class (see Table 1) and if called for the kind of documentation required (see clause 4.5).

3.1 Information to be supplied with enquiry and order The corresponding paragraphs of EURONORM 21 are applicable. The following information in particular shall be given in the enquiry and order :

Only the last edition of the EURONORMS quoted is valid Copyright by the Standardization Offices of the European Communities' Member States

3.2 Production process

Unless otherwise agreed in the order, the steelmaking process used shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer; it shall, however, be reported to the purchaser on request. Unless dictated by the shape of the product, the process for working the material shall be at the manufacturer's discretion.

3.6 Mechanical properties

3.6.1 When ordered to the requirement classes 2 or 3, the maximum Brinell hardness values given in Tables 2 to 5 apply for the delivery condition of steels ordered in the annealed condition. 3.6.2

3.3 Condition of delivery

The condition of delivery shall be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order. Usual surface conditions are : the hot-rolled or forged condition; the machined (ground, polished, turned, planed or milled) condition; the cold-reduced condition. The usual heat-treatment condition is annealed. Individually manufactured blocks for moulds and discs are sometimes delivered in the hardened and tempered condition.

When ordered to the requirement class 3 the minimum Rockwell C hardened values given in Tables 2 to 5 apply for hardening test-pieces prepared in accordance with clause 4.2.3. 3.6.3 In Figures 1 to 4 the hardness/tempering temperature curves of the steels are reproduced for guidance. Note: The hardness/tempering temperature-curve for a given steel type can vary to a noticeable extent depending on the chemical composition of the cast or of the test-piece, and the hardening and tempering conditions. Consequently the curves in Figures 1 to 4 which were derived from the test results from different sources can at present give only a rough idea of the tempering behaviour of the steels. The curves may, with the above reservations, be used for test-pieces, which were tempered with the tempering temperature in question, but which otherwise were prepared according to the conditions for the hardening test (see clause 4.2.3). When using the curves to estimate the hardness to be expected with hardened and tempered tools, it should be taken into account that the optimum heat-treatment conditions for tools are not necessarily identical to those specified for the test-pieces and particularly that the suggested heating times in clause 4.2.3 may not be right for thicker tools.

3.4 Requirement classes (')

The steels covered by this EURONORM shall be ordered and delivered to one of the requirement classes given in Table 1.

3.5 Chemical composition

3.5.1 The chemical composition as expressed by the cast analysis shall conform to that given in Tables 2 to 5. 3.5.2 If ordered to the requirement classes 1 or 2 (see Table 1) the permissible deviations given in Tables 2a, 3a, 4a, and 5a between the limiting values specified in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the analysis of products up to 160 mm diameter or equivalent dimensions shall apply. If necessary, the permissible deviations for larger products shall be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order. 3.5.3 If ordered to the requirement class 3, for which the minimum Rockwell C hardness values are the acceptance criteria, the cast analysis may deviate slightly from the limiting values given in Tables 2 to 5.
(') In earlier EURONORMS, the term 'type of condition of delivery' was used. It was replaced by 'requirement class' in order to avoid confusion with the term 'delivery condition' which is often used for the treatment condition of the steel at the time of delivery.

3.7 Surface quality 3.7.1 All products shall have a surface finish compatible with the production process used and be free from surface imperfections which could impair significantly their subsequent processing or serviceability.
3.7.2

Ground, polished or finished machined products shall be free from surface defects and decarburization.
3.7.3

Hot-rolled, forged, cold-drawn or rough-machined products shall be delivered with a machining allowance suffi-

Page 3 cient for the removal of decarburization and surface defects from all surfaces by machining or grinding. 3.7.3.2 For products other than the bars mentioned in clause 3.7.3.1, for bar shapes and dimensions not included in the Table and for rough-machined products, the minimum machining allowances are to be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order.

3.7.3.1 In the case of hot-rolled, cold-drawn or hot-forged rounds, hexagons and octagons, unless otherwise agreed at the time of the order, the values given in Table 6 shall apply for the minimum machining allowances per side for the removal of surface decarburization and surface imperfections.

3.8 Dimensions and tolerances

The dimensions and tolerances for tool steels are to be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order as long as no special EURONORMS for them are available.

4 TESTING

4.1 Number of samples

4.1.1 Chemical composition If agreed at the time of the inquiry or order, the cast analysis shall be reported by the manufacturer. If a product analysis is called for by the order, at least one sample shall be taken per cast. 4.1.2 Mechanical properties 4.1.2.1 For material supplied to the requirement classes 2 r 3 of Table 1 with a guaranteed maximum Brinell hardness in the annealed condition, one sample shall be taken from each cast, from each heat-treatment batch and from each size. If there is only a small difference in thickness of the different sizes (thickness ratio 1.5) the separation of the products into batches according to their dimensions can be omitted. If the product is heat treated in a continuous furnace, one sample shall be taken per 10 t, but at least one sample shall be taken from each cast and from each size range. 4.1.2.2 For products supplied to the requirement class 3 of Table 1, with a guaranteed minimum Rockwell C hardness, on a reference test-piece, one sample shall be taken per cast. 4.1.3 Surface quality If the purchaser requires the surface quality to be tested, then the number of samples to be taken shall be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order.

4.2 Sampling
4.2.1 For product analyses, the millings shall be taken uniformly over the entire cross-section of the product. If this is impracticable, the millings shall be taken from a suitable position representing the whole cross-section.
4.2.2

For the Brinell hardness test, the surface of the sample or of a test-piece taken from the sample in the delivery condition shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of EURONORM 3.
4.2.3

For the hardening test, one test-piece shall be cut off from the sample as indicated in Figure 5. The test-pieces shall be hardened and tempered under the conditions given in Tables 2 to 5, precautions being taken to avoid decarburization. The total heating time in a salt bath (soaking time) shall be:

Page 4 If the test-pieces are not heated in a salt-bath, the heating time must be extended accordingly. The cut surface shall be prepared in accordance with EURONORM 4 for the Rockwell C hardness test.
4.2.4 4.3.2

The Brinell hardness test shall be carried out in accordance with EURONORM 3.
4.3.3

If the purchaser asks for a test of the surface quality, the details for sampling and for the preparation of the testpieces shall be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order. 4.2.5 General requirements for the selection and preparation of test-pieces shall be in accordance with EURONORM 18.

The Rockwell C hardness test shall be carried out in accordance with EURONORM 4.
4.3.4

If the purchaser asks for the surface quality to be tested, the test method shall be agreed at the time of the enquiry or order. 4.4 Retests For retests the appropriate paragraphs of EURONORMS 21 shall apply.

4.3 Test methods

4.3.1 In cases of dispute, the methods for chemical analysis shall be those laid down in the relevant EURONORMS. Where no EURONORMS are available for determining the alloy content of a steel then the methods may be agreed between the manufacturer and the user.

4.5 Documents
The appropriate paragraphs of EURONORMS 21 are applicable for documentation.
