What is BS EN 10263-3 - Case hardening steels 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 10263‑3 is the third part of a series of documents on steel rods, bars, and wire for cold heading and cold extrusion. BS EN 10263-3 is applicable to round rods, round 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 and case hardening.

Who is BS EN 10263-3 - Case hardening steels for?

BS EN 10263‑3 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 10263-3- Case hardening steels?

Case hardening is a material processing method that is used to increase the hardness of the outer surface of a metal. Case hardening results in a very thin layer of metal that is notably harder than the larger volume of metal underneath the hardened layer.

BS EN 10263‑3 navigates you through the production process, chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface quality, deoxidation, product analysis, hardenability, testing, and inspection.

BS EN 10263‑3 exemplifies the required surface condition and mechanical properties that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specifications.

As a user of BS EN 10263‑3, you can be ensured of all the requirements of cold heading and cold extrusion. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10263‑3, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality rods, bars, and wire of non-alloy and alloy steel, intended for cold heading and cold extrusion and case hardening. BS EN 10263‑3 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 10263‑3 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 10263‑3 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
