EN 10083-2 1.0406 Introduce
EN 10083-2 1.0406 Steel is a family of non-alloy structural steels that conforms to the European standard EN 10083-2 1.0406. This type of steel is widely used in constructions, machine parts, and vehicles. It has both low tensile strength and good ductility, which makes it suitable for many different purposes. This type of steel has been developed to be highly resistant to corrosion, so it is an excellent material to use in structures and other applications that are exposed to the elements.
Smelting temperature:1467°C - 1633°C
Application:Quenched and tempered steel - Part 2: Technical delivery conditions for non-alloy steel
EN 10083-2 1.0406 Material Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of EN 10083-2 1.0406 steel are defined through a variety of tests, including tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, impact strength, and hardness. Tensile strength refers to a material's ability to resist fracture under tension, while yield strength is the amount of force necessary to cause the material to deform. Elongation measures the amount of strain the material can withstand before it fractures, and a harder material indicates better wear resistance.
The mechanical properties of the EN 10083-2 1.0406 steel are as follows:
| YieldRp0.2 | ≤ 255 (MPa) |
