What is BS EN 10263‑4 - Quenching and tempering about?
BS EN 10263 is a series of European standards on cold heading and cold extrusion that discusses the best procedures and specifications on manufacturing high-quality steel rods, bars, and wire.
BS EN 10263‑4 is the fourth part of a series of documents on steel rods, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion. BS EN 10263‑4 is applicable to round rod and round bars and wire with a diameter up to and including 100 mm, of non-alloy and alloy steel, intended for cold heading, cold extrusion, subsequent quenching and tempering or induction hardening or flame hardening.
Who is BS EN 10263‑4 - Quenching and tempering for?
BS EN 10263‑4 on steel rod, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of steel rod, bars, and wire with a diameter up to and including 100 mm
Why should you use BS EN 10263‑4- Quenching and tempering?
Quenching and tempering are processes that strengthen materials like steel and other iron-based alloys. These processes strengthen the alloys by heating the material while simultaneously cooling in water, oil, forced air, or gases such as nitrogen.
BS EN 10263‑4 navigates you through the production process, steelmaking process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality, deoxidation, hardenability, testing, and inspection.
BS EN 10263‑4 exemplifies the required surface condition, mechanical properties, and chemical composition that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specifications.
As a user of BS EN 10263‑4, you can be ensured of all the requirements of cold heading and cold extrusion. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10263‑4, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality rods, bars, and wire of non-alloy and alloy steel, intended for cold heading and cold extrusion, subsequent quenching, and tempering or induction hardening or flame hardening With BS EN 10263‑4 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10263‑4 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
