National foreword This British Standard is the English language version of EN 10222-4:1998, including amendment A1:2001. Together with EN 10222-1, EN 10222-2, EN 10222-3 and EN 10222-5, it supersedes BS 1503:1989, which will be withdrawn when the five parts of EN 10222 are published. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee ISE/73, Steel for pressure purposes, which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. Cross-references The British Standards which implement international or European publications referred to in this document may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled International Standards Correspondence Index, or by using the Find facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

1 Scope This part of this European Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions of the types of forgings for pressure purposes, made of weldable fine-grain steels with high proof strength. General information on technical delivery conditions is given in EN 10021.
2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 10021, General technical delivery requirements for steel and iron products. EN 10022-1:1998, Steel forgings for pressure purposes Part 1: General requirements for open die forgings.
3 Chemical composition 3.1 Cast analysis The chemical composition (cast analysis), determined in accordance with EN 10222-1, shall conform to the requirements of Table 1 (see EN 10222-1:1998, 9.1). 3.2 Product analysis The product analysis shall not deviate from the specified cast analysis (see Table 1) by more than the values specified in Table 2 (see EN 10222-1:1998, 9.2).
4 Heat treatment and mechanical properties
When heat-treated in accordance with Table 1, the mechanical properties of the forgings, determined in accordance with EN 10022-1, shall conform to the requirements of Table 1 and Table 3. Elevated temperature 0,2 % proof strength (Rp0,2) values shall conform to the requirements of Table 4.

Elements not listed in this table shall not be intentionally added to the steel without the approval of the purchaser except for finishing the cast. All appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent the addition from scrap or other materials used in steelmaking of these elements which may adversely affect the mechanical properties and usability. Minimum Al level need not apply when Nb, V and Ti are used to control N content. The thickness ranges given in this column apply for the as heat treated thickness of forgings with the ruling section. This is characterized by rectangular shape, a width to thickness ratio 72 and a length to thickness ratio of 74. For forgings with other sections the equivalent thickness shall be determined according to Annex B of EN 10222-1 or be agreed at the time of enquiry and order. Until the yield point criteria are harmonized in the various National Codes, determination of ReH may be replaced by determination of Rp0,2. In this case, the Rp0,2 values are 10 N/mm2 lower for ReH values up to 355 N/mm2 and 15 N/mm2 lower for ReH values greater than 355 N/mm2. l longitudinal t tangential tr transverse N normalized QT quenched and tempered a air o oil w water

Table 2 Permissible deviations of the product analysis from specified values of the cast analysis Element Specified value in the cast analysis according to Table 1 % Permissible deviationsa of the product analysis %
If several product analyses are carried out for one cast and if, in this case, values for an individual element are established which fall outside the permitted range for the chemical composition, then it is only permissible that the values either exceed the maximum permitted value or fall short of the minimum permitted value. It is not acceptable for both to apply for one cast.
