NOTE The definition of levels 1, 2 and 3 can be found in the appropriate standards, e.g. EN 473 and EN 10256. 6.5 Delivery condition The hollow sections shall be delivered cold formed without subsequent heat treatment except that the weld seam may be in the as welded or heat treated condition. NOTE For SAW hollow sections above 508 mm outside diameter it may be necessary to perform a warm shaping operation, which does not affect the mechanical properties, in order to meet the out-of-roundness tolerance requirements. 6.6 Chemical composition 6.6.1 The cast analysis reported by the steel producer shall apply and shall conform to the requirements given in Table A.1, Table B.1 or Table B.2.

NOTE Stress relief annealing at more than 580 °C or for over one hour may lead to deterioration of the mechanical properties.
6.7.2 For impact tests, standard V-notch test pieces in accordance with EN 10045-1 shall be used. If the nominal product thickness is not sufficient for the preparation of standard test pieces, the test shall be carried out using test pieces of width less than 10 mm, but not less than 5 mm. The minimum average values given in Tables A.3, B.4 and B.5 shall be reduced in direct proportion of the actual width of the test piece compared to that of the standard test piece. Impact tests are not required for specified thicknesses < 6 mm. SIST EN 10219-1:2006



EN 10219-1:2006 (E) 10 6.7.3 For fine grain steel hollow sections in thicknesses which do not permit impact test pieces of width ≥ 5 mm to be taken, the ferritic grain size (see 6.2.4) shall be verified by the method as described in EN ISO 643. When aluminium is used as the grain refining element, the grain size requirement shall be deemed to be fulfilled if the cast analysis shows the aluminium content to be not less than 0,020 % total aluminium or alternatively 0,015 % soluble aluminium. In these cases, verification of the grain size is not required. 6.7.4 Subject to the limitations of 6.7.2 a) the impact properties of structural hollow sections of steel qualities J2, K2, M, N, ML and NL shall be verified;
b) the impact properties of structural hollow sections of steel qualities JR and J0 are not verified unless otherwise specified by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and order. Option 1.3 for products in qualities JR and J0 supplied with specific inspection and testing (see Option 1.6), the verification of the impact properties is specified. 6.8 Technological properties 6.8.1 Weldability The steels specified in this European Standard are weldable.
General requirements for welding the products in accordance with this European Standard are given in EN 1011-1 and EN 1011-2. NOTE 1 When welding these products, as product thickness, strength level and CEV increase, the occurrence of cold cracking in the welded zone forms the main risk. Cold cracking is caused by a combination of the following factors:  high levels of diffusible hydrogen in the weld metal;  a brittle structure in the heat affected zone;  significant tensile stress concentrations in the welded joint. NOTE 2 By using guidelines, specified for example in EN 1011-1, EN 1011-2 or any other relevant standard, the recommended welding conditions and the various welding ranges for the steel grades can be determined. These will vary depending on the product thickness, the applied welding energy, the design requirements, the electrode efficiency, the welding process and the weld metal properties. 6.8.2 Suitability for hot dip galvanizing Option 1.4 the products shall be suitable for hot dip galvanizing. 6.9 Surface condition 6.9.1 The hollow sections shall have a smooth surface corresponding to the manufacturing method used; bumps, cavities or shallow longitudinal grooves resulting from the manufacturing process are permissible, provided the remaining thickness is within tolerance. Surface defects may be removed by the manufacturer by grinding, provided that the thickness of the hollow s
