    EN 10269 Bolting Specification

    Alloy Steel & Stainless Steel Bolting for High Temperature or High Pressure Service

    Scope

    EN 10269 Specification is a European Standard that specifies requirements for semi-finished products, bars and rods for fasteners with properties specified at elevated and/or low temperatures made of non-alloy and alloy (including stainless) steels and nickel alloys.
    The requirements of this standard may be applied also to the finished fasteners.
    The general technical delivery conditions in EN 10021 also apply to products supplied in accordance with this European Standard.
    NOTE : Once this European Standard is published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU) under Directive 97/23/EC, presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) of Directive 97/23/EC is limited to technical data of materials in this European Standard and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of equipment. Consequently, the assessment of the technical data stated in this material standard against the design requirements of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of Directive 97/23/EC are satisfied, needs to be done.

    EN 10269 Classification and designation

    Classification

    In accordance with EN 10020 the steel grades C35E, C45E and 20Mn5 are non-alloy special steels. All other steel grades are alloy special including austenitic steels. Additionally, austenitic nickel alloys are specified.

    Designation

    The steel grades specified in this European Standard are designated with steel names and steel numbers. The steel names have been allocated in accordance with EN 10027-1. The corresponding steel numbers have been allocated in accordance with EN 10027-2.
    NOTE : Explanation on the designation of nickel alloys:

    • Name: the preceding chemical symbols indicate the main alloy elements and the figure immediately following indicates the average content of these alloys subsequently followed by the symbol for the other added important alloy elements;
    • Material number: the structure is set out according to EN 10027-2 with the number 2 for the material group number; this material group comprises chemically resisting and heat resisting or creep resisting nickel and cobalt alloys.

    EN 10269 Melting process

    Unless a special melting process is agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the melting process for the starting material in accordance with this European Standard shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer.
    Steels other than stainless steels shall be fully killed.

    EN 10269 Delivery condition

    General

    In order to check if the steel grades listed are fulfil the PED requirements. Delivery conditions +A, +S, +AC normally applied for further processing (such as shearing, cold heading, etc.). Delivery conditions normally applied without additional heat treatment after delivery. The purchaser shall specify in his enquiry and order the delivery condition required.
    Depending on the type (e.g. billet) and the dimensions of the product and the intended type of further processing the material, in special cases the delivery in the untreated condition may be agreed.
    When delivery in a condition not covered in for the verification of compliance with the requirements of this European Standard tests on simulated treated samples may be agreed at the time of enquiry and order. In the case of billets, this simulated treatment may also include a hot forming operation.
    By agreement at the time of enquiry and order, for the steels for quenching and tempering a stress relieving treatment after straightening may be specified.
