What is BS EN 10263‑1 - Steel rods, 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 10263‑1 is the first part of a series of documents on steel rods, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion. BS EN 10263‑1 specifies the general technical delivery conditions for round rods, round bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion.

Who is BS EN 10263‑1 - Steel rods, bars, and wire for?

BS EN 10263‑1 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 10263‑1 - Steel rods, bars, and wire?

Cold heading is feeding wire into a machine, cutting it into pieces, and hammering on it. The material is not heated or machined but formed into its desired shape at room temperature. Cold extrusion is a push-through compressive forming process with the starting material (billet/slug) at room temperature. during the process, however, the deforming material undergoes deformation heating (conversion of deformation work to heat) to several hundred degrees.

BS EN 10263‑1 navigates you through the production process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, hardenability requirements, microstructure, internal soundness, surface quality, dimensions and tolerances on dimensions and shape, testing, and inspection.

As a user of BS EN 10263‑1, you can be ensured of all the requirements of cold heading and cold extrusion. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10263‑1, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality steel rods, bars, and wire. BS EN 10263‑1 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 10263‑1 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10263‑1 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
