What is BS EN 10263‑2 - Steel rod, bars, and wire 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 10263‑2 is the second part of a series of documents on steel rods, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion. BS EN 10263‑2 is applicable to round rod and bars and wire with a diameter up to and including 100 mm, of non-alloy and alloy steel, intended for cold heading and cold extrusion without subsequent heat treatment on the final components.
Who is BS EN 10263‑2 - Steel rod, bars, and wire for?
BS EN 10263‑2 on steel rod, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of steel rod, bars, and wire
Why should you use BS EN 10263‑2- Steel rod, bars, and wire?
Heat treatment is the process of heating metal without letting it reach its molten, or melting, stage, and then cooling the metal in a controlled way to select desired mechanical properties.
BS EN 10263‑2 navigates you through the production process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality, deoxidation, product analysis, testing, and inspection.
As a user of BS EN 10263‑2, you can be ensured of all the requirements of cold heading and cold extrusion. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10263‑2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality rods, bars, and wire of non-alloy and alloy steel, intended for cold heading and cold extrusion without subsequent heat treatment. BS EN 10263‑2 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 10263‑2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10263‑2 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
