1 Scope

This document specifies the technical delivery requirements for open die for gin gs, for ged bars and
products pre-for ged and finished in rin g rollin g mills, manufactured from alloy special steel and
supplied in the quenched and tempered condition .

The majority of steels listed in this document are identical to steels specified in EN ISO 683-1 and
EN ISO 683-2and more extensive information on hardenabilityand technolo gical properties is given in
these standards .

General information on technical deliveryconditions is given in EN 10021.

4 Chemical composition

4.1 Cast analysis

The chemical composition of the steel shall be determined by cast analysis and shall conform to the
analysis given in Table 1 (see EN 10250-1:2022. A.7 and A 8
. ).

Measures should be taken to prevent the addition from the scrap, or other material used in the
manufacture of the steels, of such elements which affect the hardenability, mechanical properties and
applicabilityof the steel.

4.2 Product analysis

The product analysis shall not deviate from the specified cast analysis (see Table 1) bymore than the
values specified in Table 2 (see EN 10250-1:2022. 9.2).

5 Heat treatment

Heat treatment details are given in Annex A. Table A.1 for guidance.

6 Mechanical properties

T he mechanical properties determined on test pieces selected ,prepared and tested in accordance with
EN 10250-1:2022, Clauses 11and 12shall conform to the propertyrequirements given in Table 3.
