ISO 683-1:2016(E)
The mechanical property values given in Tables 9 and 10 apply to test pieces in the quenched and
tempered or normalized condition, which have been taken and prepared in accordance with Figure 2 or
Figures 3 and 4 (see also footnote a to Table 1).
For steel plates of thickness >10 mm and bars >100 mm in diameter in the normalized condition (+N),
it may be agreed at the time o f enquiry and order that instead o f the tensile test, the hardness test
is performed at the same region where the sample for the tensile test piece would be taken from.
The hardness test should be performed and, from this, the tensile strength values can be calculated
according to ISO 18265. The calculated tensile strength shall comply with Table 10.
7.1.4 Hardenability
Where the steel is ordered using the designations given in Table 5, 6 or 7 to normal (see Table 5) or
to narrowed (see Tables 6 and 7 ) hardenability requirements, the values of hardenability given in
Table 5, 6 or 7, respectively, apply in addition to the requirements cited in Table 1, columns 9.1 and 9.2
(see footnote b to Table 3).
7.1.5 Surface hardness
For the sur face hardness o f special steels a fter flame or induction hardening, the specifications in
Table 11 apply.
7.2 Machinability
All steels are machinable in the condition “so ft annealed”. Where improved machinability is required,
grades with a specified sul fur range and/or with a specific treatment should be ordered to improve
machinability (see also Table 1, line 7).
7.3 Cold shearability
7.3.1 Under suitable shearing conditions (avoiding local stress peaks, preheating, application of blades
with a profile adapted to that o f the product, etc.), all steels are cold shearable in the so ft annealed (+A)
condition.
7.3.2 Steel grades C45, C50, C55, C60, 28Mn6, 36Mn6 and 42Mn6 and the corresponding E-, R-, +H-,
+HH- and +HL grades (see Tables 3 and 5 to 7) are, under suitable conditions, also cold shearable when
being delivered in the condition “treated to improve shearability (+S)” with the hardness requirements
given in Table 8.
7.3.3 Steels C25, C30, C35, C40 and 23Mn6 and the corresponding E-, R-, +H-, +HH- and +HL-grades
(see Tables 3 and 5 to 7) are, under suitable conditions, cold shearable when being delivered in the
untreated condition.
Cold shearablity may also be assumed for the various grades o f steel C45, in sizes o f 80 mm and greater
in the untreated condition.
7.4 Grain size
Unless otherwise agreed at the time o f enquiry and order, the grain size shall be le ft to the discretion o f
the manu facturer. I f a fine grain structure is required in accordance with a re ference treatment, special
requirement B.3 shall be ordered.
I f steels C35E, C35R, C45E, C45R, C50E, C50R, C55E and C55R are intended for flame or induction
hardening, special requirement B.3 shall be ordered in any case.

ISO 683-1:2016(E)
7.5
Non-metallic inclusions
7.5.1
Microscopic inclusions
The special steels shall have a certain degree o f cleanness; however, verification o f the non-metallic
inclusion content requires a special agreement. I f there is such an agreement at the time o f enquiry
and order, the microscopic non-metallic inclusion content shall be determined to an agreed procedure
and within agreed limits in accordance with ISO 4967 or another standard (e.g. regional standards
EN 10247 or JIS G 0555).
For grades with specified minimum sul fur content, the agreement should not include sulphides.
7.5.2
