Description

BS EN 10025-6:2004 + Amendment 1 (along with BS EN 10025-1) is an indispensable guide to those who specify, purchase or supply steel, of the standard purchase specifications and delivery conditions for flat products of high yield strength alloy special steels supplied in the quenched and tempered condition.

Scope

Part 6 of this document, in addition to part 1, specifies requirements for flat products of high yield strength alloy special steels. The grades and qualities are given in Tables 2 to 4 (chemical composition) and Tables 5 to 7 (mechanical properties) and are supplied in the quenched and tempered condition as given in 6.3.

The steels specified in this document are applicable to hot-rolled flat products with a minimum nominal thickness of 3 mm and a maximum nominal thickness ≤ 150 mm for grades S460, S500, S550, S620 and S690, a maximum nominal thickness ≤ 100 mm for grade S890 and a maximum nominal thickness ≤ 50 mm for grade S960, in steels which, after quenching and tempering, have a specified minimum yield strength of 460 MPa) to 960 MPa ).
