This material specification covers thermomechanically rolled flat steel products up to 60mm thick for use in welded constructions such as supporting structures and vessels where resistance to cold cracking is required. The steels have low carbon equivalents making them highly resistant to cold cracking.

This material specification applies to thermomechanically rolled flat products in thicknesses up to 60 mm. The criteria to distinguish the steel grades is the lowest test temperature for the notch-bar impact test.

For XABO 500, the carbon content must be ≤0.015%. For XABO 500 T, the carbon content must be ≤0.15% and the carbon equivalent must be ≤0.47%. The specifications list limits for other elements like silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur.

Scope
This Material Specification applies to thermomechanically rolled flat products in thicknesses up to 60 mm. The
criteria to distinguish the steel grades is the lowest test temperature for the notch-bar impact test.

Application
These steels are applied in welded constructions such as supporting structures, vessels etc., where a secured
prevention against cold cracking in the welded joints is required. Due to the low carbon equivalent, these steels are
highly resistant against cold cracking.
The entire processing is of fundamental importance for the good performance of the products made of these
steels. The processor must assure himself, that his methods of calculation, designing and working conform with
the material to be used, meet the latest requirements of technical progress, and are suited to the proposed
application. Due consideration must be given to relevant construction specifications.
The selection of the material is left up to the purchaser.

The values of strength and elongation given in the table before are valid both for transverse specimens.
If the notch-bar-impact test is required, the test temperature and the specimen direction have to be specified in
the order. If no mention is made in the order, the notch-bar impact test will be carried out at the lowest test
temperature given in the table on Charpy V-specimens taken in the longitudinal direction. The values stated for
the impact energy are minimum values obtained as the average of 3 specimens, with no single value being less
than 70 % of the specified values stated in the table.
If the thickness of the material is not sufficient for manufacturing of Charpy V-specimens with a width of 10 mm,
the impact energy value is reduced proportionally to the specimen width (product thickness). No impact test is
performed on products below 5 mm in thickness.
Upon special agreement is made for carrying out a bend test, it will be carried out on transverse specimens, the
mandrel diameter being a minimum of 4 times the material thickness and a bending angle of 180 °.

inspection

inspection lot: mother plate 1 test-specimen from one end

From every test piece one tensile test on a transverse specimen at room temperature as well as one notch-bar-
impact test at a temperature specified for the particular steel grade on longitudinal specimens will be carried out.
For tensile tests flat specimens are utilised. At material thicknesses ≤ 40 mm both surfaces as rolled of the
specimens have to be left in their original condition. Flat specimens made of products > 40 mm in thickness shall
be tested either with as rolled surfaces in the case of full-thickness specimens or with the half of the plate
thickness. In this case one as rolled surface remains undisturbed.
Round tensile specimens only are allowed at plate-thicknesses > 30 mm and prior agreement. These test
specimens shall be taken in such a way that their axis lies approximately to ¼ of the plate thickness measured
from the surface of the plate or as close to it as possible.
Notch-bar-impact specimens are taken from an area close to the surface. At plate thicknesses above 40 mm the
specimens are taken in such a way that their longitudinal axis lies approximately to ¼ of the plate thickness
measured from the surface of the plate or as close to it as possible.
Upon special agreement a bend test based on ISO 7438 can be performed. At thicknesses above 25 mm the test
specimen will be machined to 25 mm in thickness.

Fabrication - welding
Products made of steel grades according to this specification
¾ are very suitable for welding. Due to the low tendency for cold cracking, generally at lower plate thicknesses,
preheating prior to welding is not necessary. More over for the fabrication the document "STAHL-EISEN-
Werkstoffblatt 088" has to be applied as well.
Recommendations for welding are also given in EN 1011 part 1 and part 2 - Welding, Recommendation for
welding of metallic materials -.
¾ are very suitable for cold forming and machining.
¾ are not suitable for heat treatment above 580 °C.

General information
Unless otherwise stated in this Material Specification, the delivery will be governed by the conditions outlined in EN
10021. As per prior agreement at the time of ordering other inland and foreign delivery conditions are negotiable.
If special deformation properties vertical to product surface are required, for the steels relating to this Specification
values for the reduction of area in the through-thickness direction may be agreed in the order in accordance with
the three categories of EN 10164 - Steel products with improved deformation properties perpendicular to the
surface of the product.
Ultrasonic examination for internal imperfections can be agreed upon according to EN 10160 - Ultrasonic testing of
steel flat product of thickness equal to or greater than 6 mm (reflection method) -.
