European foreword

This document (EN 10277:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 105 “Steels for
heat treatment, alloy steels, free-cutting steels and stainless steels”, the secretariat of which is held by
DIN.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2018 and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2018.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document supersedes EN 10277-1:2008 to EN 10277-5:2008.

The following changes have been made in comparison to the previous edition EN 10277-1:2008 to
EN 10277-5:2008:

a) the five parts of EN 10277-1 to EN 10277-5 were merged into one part;

b) the dimensional requirements for bright steel products were added to this standard;

iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW

c) for the steels for general engineering use, the steel grades E295GC, E355GC, C10, C15, C16 and C55
were deleted and the grades C25, C30 and C50 were added;
(standards.iteh.ai)
d) for the free cutting steels, the grades 9S20, 17SMn20, 35SMn20 and 35SMnPb20 were added;
SIST EN 10277:2018
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/21f0a55e-cf1a-48c8-8528-
e) for the case hardening steels, the grades 16MnCrB 5, 15NiCrS4, 15NiCr13 and 17NiCrMoS6-4 were

1 Scope
This document specifies the technical delivery requirements for bright steel bars in the drawn,
peeled/turned or ground condition and they are intended for mechanical purposes, for example for
machine parts. The bright bars are subdivided into the following steel types:
a) non-alloy general engineering steels;

b) non-alloy free-cutting steels;

c) non-alloy and alloy case-hardening steels;

d) non-alloy and alloy steels for quenching and tempering.

This document lists the mechanical characteristics for products up to 100 mm in thickness. For larger
dimensions, the manufacturer and purchaser agree on mechanical properties at the time of enquiry and
order.
It does not cover cold rolled products and cut lengths produced from strip or sheet by cutting. Bright
steel products of stainless steels are to be found in EN 10088-3.
In addition to this document, the general technical delivery requirements of EN 10021 are applicable.

e896420bf30e/sist-en-10277-2018
3.1
bright steel products
drawn or peeled/turned bars with smoother surface quality and better dimensional accuracy in
comparison to hot-rolled bars

3.2
drawn products
products of various cross-sectional shapes obtained, after descaling, by cold drawing of hot-rolled bars
or rod, on a drawing bench (cold formation without removing material)

Note 1 to entry: This operation gives the product special features with respect to shape, dimensional accuracy and
surface finish. In addition the process causes cold working of the product, which can be eliminated by subsequent
heat treatment. Products in lengths are delivered straightened.

3.3
peeled/turned products
round bars produced by peeling or turning where the product can be further processed by
straightening and polishing

Note 1 to entry: This operation gives the bar special features with respect to shape, dimensional accuracy and
surface finish. The removal of metal is carried out in such a way that the bright product is generally free from
rolling defects and surface decarburization

3.4
ground products
drawn or peeled/turned round bars given an improved surface quality and dimensional accuracy by
grinding or by grinding and polishing

3.5
thickness
nominal dimension of the product

Note 1 to entry: That means:

a) the diameter in the case of rounds;

b) the lateral length in the case of squares;

c) the width over flats in the case of hexagons;

d) the shorter lateral length in the case of flats (rectangular bars) and wide-flats.

For special sections, 'thickness' has to be defined at the time of enquiry and order

3.6
ovality
difference between the smallest and largest dimension measured across the pairs of opposing points at
a common cross-section iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
3.7 (standards.iteh.ai)

3.8 e896420bf30e/sist-en-10277-2018
ruling section
section for which the specified mechanical properties shall apply

Note 1 to entry: Independent of the actual shape and dimensions of the cross-section of the product, the size of
its ruling section is always given by a diameter. This corresponds to the diameter of an “equivalent round bar”.
That is a round bar which will show the same cooling rate as the actual ruling section of the product concerned at
its position for taking the test pieces, when being cooled from austenitizing temperature.

4 Classification and designation

4.1 Classification

The classification of the relevant steel grades is allocated in accordance with EN 10020. The general

6 Manufacturing process
6.1 General

The manufacturing process of the steel and of the products is with the restrictions given by the
requirements in 6.2 and 6.3 left to the discretion of the manufacturer.
For minimum reduction ratio or minimum thickness deformation ratio of rolled and forged products,
see C.8.
6.2 Treatment and surface condition at delivery
6.2.1 Treatment condition
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
(standards.iteh.ai)
The treatment and heat-treatment condition (if any) at the time of delivery must comply with the
condition agreed in the order and shall be one of theEN
SIST conditions
10277:2018indicated in Table 1.
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/21f0a55e-cf1a-48c8-8528-
Bright steel products in cold drawn or peeled/turned condition are coated with a light film of grease
e896420bf30e/sist-en-10277-2018
from processing, for bright steel products in a finally heat treated condition the manufacturer chooses
the rust protection after heat treatment.
The usual light application of ordinary grease or oil does not afford positive protection against rusting,
particularly in the presence of condensation water. The use of a selected rust inhibitor or a special type
of packing shall, if required, be agreed at the time of enquiry and order, see C.9.
6.2.2 Particular surface conditions

Table 2 shows the possible surface conditions and tolerance classes according to ISO 286-2 at delivery.
6.3 Traceability of the cast

Each product shall be traceable to the cast, see Clause 10.

7 Requirements
7.1 Chemical composition, mechanical properties and hardenability
7.1.1 General

Combination of usual treatment conditions at the time of delivery and requirements concerning
chemical composition and mechanical properties are shown in Tables 1.

8
 SIST EN 10277:2018

EN 10277:2018 (E)

7.1.2 Chemical composition

The chemical composition of the steels determined by the cast analysis, shall comply to EN 10025-2,
EN ISO 683-1, EN ISO 683-2, EN ISO 683-3 and EN ISO 683-4. The grades and the chemical composition
of the steels are listed for information in Annex A for EN 10025-2, EN ISO 683-1, EN ISO 683-2,
EN ISO 683-3 and EN ISO 683-4.
Permissible deviations between the limiting values for cast analysis and the values for product analysis
are given in the corresponding tables of EN 10025-2, EN ISO 683-1, EN ISO 683-2, EN ISO 683-3 and
EN ISO 683-4. The product analysis shall be carried out when specified at the time of enquiry and order
(see C.7).
If steels for case hardening or for quenching and tempering are ordered with hardenability
requirements according to EN ISO 683-1, EN ISO 683-2 and EN ISO 683-3, such hardenability
requirements shall be considered as the governing criteria for acceptance. In such cases, the cast
analysis may deviate by the values given in EN ISO 683-1, EN ISO 683-2 and EN ISO 683-3, Table 3,
footnote b.
WARNING Due to hazardous effects to health and environmental problems of Pb, it is
recommended to use instead steels only with sulphur and other innocuous free-cutting element
additions.

7.1.3 Mechanical properties

For steels ordered in one of the treatment conditions in Tables 1 and 2, the requirements for
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
mechanical properties specified in Tables 4 to 10 apply. The mechanical property values given in Tables
4 to 10 apply to test pieces which have been taken and prepared in accordance with Figure 1.
(standards.iteh.ai)
In this case, the normal and narrowed hardenability values given in EN ISO 683-1, EN ISO 683-2 for
special steels and the narrowed hardenability values in EN ISO 683-3 for alloy special steels are for
SIST EN 10277:2018
guidance purposes only.
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/21f0a55e-cf1a-48c8-8528-
NOTE In Tables 4 to 10, gradese896420bf30e/sist-en-10277-2018
alloyed with further elements for better machinability are not explicitly
mentioned, but the mechanical properties are also valid for them (see Tables A.1 to A.4).

7.1.4 Hardenability

Unless otherwise agreed for alloy case-hardening steels, the hardenability requirements given in
EN ISO 683-3, Table 5 apply. If agreed at the time of enquiry and order, alloy case-hardening steels with
restricted hardenability scatterbands given in EN ISO 683-3, Table 6 shall be supplied and these values
apply in addition to Table 1, columns 6 and 7.
If special steels for quenching and tempering are ordered by using the designations to normal or to
narrowed hardenability scatterbands, the values of hardenability given in EN ISO 683-1 or
EN ISO 683-2 apply in addition to Table 1, columns 8 and 9.
NOTE In Tables 8 to 10, grades alloyed with further elements for better machinability are not explicitly
mentioned, but the mechanical properties are also valid for them (see Tables A.3 and A.4).

7.2 Machinability

All steels are machinable in the conditions 'soft annealed' (+A) and treated to ferrite/pearlite structure
(+FP).
Where improved machinability is required the grades with defined ranges of alloying elements, which
support the machinability and/or with a specific treatment to improve machinability should be ordered
(see also footnote b in Tables A.1, A.3 and A.4).

9
 SIST EN 10277:2018

EN 10277:2018 (E)

Free-cutting steels with low carbon content have their best machinability in the cold drawn condition.
NOTE Non-leaded steels with comparable chemical composition generally have identical mechanical
properties but often lower machinability than leaded steels.

7.3 Grain size

Unless otherwise agreed at the time of enquiry and order the grain size of the general engineering, free-
cutting steels and the non-alloy steels for quenching and tempering shall be left to the discretion of the
manufacturer. If a fine grain structure is required for non-alloy steels for quenching and tempering or
for case-hardening or quenched and tempered free-cutting steels, Annex C, Option C.3 shall be ordered.
If direct hardening treatment is used for free-cutting case-hardening steels, a fine grain structure should
be ordered.
The case-hardening and the alloy steels for quenching and tempering shall have a fine grain structure
with an austenite grain size of 5 or finer, when tested in accordance with EN ISO 643. Only for
verification see C.3.
7.4 Non-metallic inclusions
7.4.1 Microscopic inclusions

The special steels shall have a certain degree of cleanness, however, verification of the non-metallic
inclusion content requires a special agreement. If there is such an agreement at the time of enquiry and
order the microscopical non-metallic inclusion content shall be determined to an agreed procedure and
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
within agreed limits (see ISO 4967 or EN 10247).
(standards.iteh.ai)
For grades with specified minimum sulphur content, the agreement should only concern the oxides.
7.4.2 Macroscopic inclusions
SIST EN 10277:2018
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/21f0a55e-cf1a-48c8-8528-
Freedom of macroscopic inclusions cannot be ensured in any steel. This requirement is applicable for
e896420bf30e/sist-en-10277-2018
the verification of the macroscopic inclusions in special steels. If verification is agreed then the method
and acceptance limits shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
7.5 Internal soundness

Where appropriate, requirements relating to the internal soundness of the products shall be agreed at
the time of enquiry and order (see C.4).
7.6 Decarburization

For steels for quenching and tempering, requirements relating to the permissible depth of
decarburization may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
The depth of decarburization shall be determined in accordance with the micrographic method
specified in EN ISO 3887.
7.7 Shape, dimensions and tolerances

The tolerance class on thickness (and width for flats) shall comply with the requirements agreed at the
time of enquiry and order and shall be in accordance with Table 2. If there is no agreement on the
tolerance class the bright products are delivered with the standard tolerance class given in Table 2. The
tolerance class and the corresponding tolerances are given in Table 11 for rounds, squares and
hexagons and in Table 12 for drawn flats. Where specified by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and
order the disposition tolerances specified in Table 11 shall be in accordance with C.5.
Unless otherwise agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the length and the tolerance on length shall
be as specified in Table 13.

10
 SIST EN 10277:2018

EN 10277:2018 (E)

The maximum admitted ovality shall be not more than half the specified tolerance range, in any case
never above the upper limit of the tolerance. Any other requirements concerning out of shape may be
agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
Where specified at the time of enquiry and order and in cases of dispute, an agreed number of bars shall
be evaluated for straightness in accordance with one of the methods specified in Annex D and the
tolerances specified in Table 14 shall apply.
Non-round bars (i.e. square, hexagon and flat) in widths ≤ 150 mm may have an undefined profile
within a distance of 0,2 mm of the hypothetical edge, flats in widths > 150 mm within a distance of
0,5 mm, unless otherwise agreed. For widths > 150 mm, the corner profile may be undefined within a
distance of 0,5 mm of the hypothetical edge, unless sharp corners have specifically been ordered.
7.8 Surface quality

Bright products shall have a smooth, scale free surface. Bright products in the final heat treated
condition shall be free from loose surface scale; their surface might be discoloured or darker. For
hexagons, squares, flats and profiles with special cross-sections, one cannot achieve – for manufacturing
reasons – the same quality of surface finish as for round cross-sections.
Since surface discontinuities (cracks, overlapping, scale, isolated pores, pits, grooves, etc.) cannot be
completely avoided during manufacturing (hot and cold forming, heat treatments, handling and
storage) and since they are retained after drawing, agreements shall be made regarding surface quality.
The surface quality of the products shall be one of the classes according to Table 3. Cold drawn products
are normally delivered in class 1, while turned and peeled bars as well as ground round bars are
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
delivered in class 3. Different classes may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
For flats, squares in sizes greater(standards.iteh.ai)
than 20 mm and hexagons in sizes greater than 50 mm, the maximum
possible depth of surface discontinuities shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
NOTE Where automatic testing of theSIST
surface is applied, 50 mm of each end of the bar is not normally
EN 10277:2018
covered. https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/21f0a55e-cf1a-48c8-8528-
e896420bf30e/sist-en-10277-2018
Surface defects cannot be eliminated without removal of material. Products in the 'technically crack free
by manufacture' condition are only available in the peeled/turned and/or ground conditions.
