EN 10250 Standard: Technical Regulations for Steel Forgings
The EN 10250 standard is a fundamental European regulatory document defining requirements for quality, manufacturing processes, and delivery conditions for open-die steel forgings for general engineering purposes. Specialists at EV Group China provide an expert overview of the parts of this standard for engineers and metal procurement professionals.
EN 10250-1: General technical delivery conditions
Scope of EN 10250-1
The first part of the standard establishes basic technical delivery conditions for open-die forgings, forged ingots, semi-finished forged products, and rolled products for general engineering purposes. The standard regulates quality control and certification procedures for metal products. General guidance on delivery conditions complies with the provisions of EN 10021.
EN 10250-2: Quality and special non-alloy steels
Scope of EN 10250-2
This section describes technical requirements for forgings and forged billets made from quality non-alloy and special steels. The products are characterized by high structural strength.
Technical note: Most steel grades presented in this section have identical characteristics to those in EN 10083-1 and EN 10083-2 (for products up to 160 mm thick in quenched and tempered condition). EV Group China ensures the supply of products with guaranteed compliance with heat treatment temperature regimes.
EN 10250-3: Special alloy steels
Scope of EN 10250-3
The third part covers forgings and ingots made from alloy steels. The products are supplied in a quenched and tempered state and are fully prepared for further machining or rolling. Composition and property standards comply with EN 10083-1 norms.
EN 10250-4: Stainless steels
Scope of EN 10250-4
Regulates the supply of stainless steel forgings with ferritic, martensitic, austenitic, and duplex (austenitic-ferritic) structures. The products undergo strict control for compliance with chemical composition and mechanical properties necessary for operation in aggressive environments and under high loads.
Note: Technical parameters for steels in this part are consistent with the requirements of the EN 10083-3 standard. EV Group China guarantees that the supplied products meet global standards for quality and geometric precision.
