Steel Grade Overview
| Grade | EN 10305 Equivalent | Yield (MPa) | Tensile (MPa) | Delivery Condition | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ST35 | E235 | ≥235 | 340-480 | BK, NBK | General precision engineering |
| ST45 | E255 | ≥255 | 410-550 | BK, NBK | Higher strength applications |
| ST52 | E355 | ≥355 | 490-640 | BK, NBK | Hydraulic cylinders – most popular |
💡 ST52 is the most commonly requested grade for hydraulic cylinder applications .
Delivery Conditions – DIN 2391
| Symbol | Description | Application | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| BK (+C) | Cold drawn / as-drawn | Maximum strength | Dull |
| BKW (+LC) | Cold drawn + light finishing | Chrome plating prep | Bright |
| BKS (+SR) | Stress relieved | Dimensional stability | Dull |
| GBK (+A) | Annealed | Soft, machinable | Dull |
| NBK (+N) | Normalized | Good strength + ductility | Dull/satin |
💡 NBK (normalized) is the most popular delivery condition for hydraulic cylinders – good strength with excellent ductility and weldability .
Chemical Composition
| Grade | C max | Si max | Mn max | P max | S max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ST35 | 0.17 | 0.35 | 0.40 | 0.025 | 0.025 |
| ST45 | 0.21 | 0.35 | 0.40 | 0.025 | 0.025 |
| ST52 | 0.22 | 0.55 | 1.60 | 0.025 | 0.025 |
💡 Low carbon content ensures excellent weldability and good formability for bending, flaring, and flattening operations .
Mechanical Properties – ST52 (Most Popular)
| Condition | Tensile (MPa) | Yield (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BK | 560-780 | ≥450 | ≥10 | Dull |
| NBK | 490-640 | ≥355 | ≥22 | Dull/satin |
| BKW | 520-700 | ≥400 | ≥14 | Bright |
💡 ST52 NBK provides the best combination of strength (≥355 MPa yield) and ductility for hydraulic cylinders .
Dimensional Tolerances – DIN 2391 Precision Tubes
| OD (mm) | Standard Tolerance (mm) | High Precision (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 6-30 | ±0.08 | ±0.03 |
| 31-40 | ±0.15 | ±0.05 |
| 41-50 | ±0.20 | ±0.08 |
| 51-60 | ±0.25 | ±0.08 |
| 61-80 | ±0.30 | ±0.10 |
💡 High precision tolerances are available upon request – ideal for applications requiring ultra-tight dimensional accuracy .
Manufacturing Process – Cold Drawing / Cold Rolling
Cold Drawing Process for Precision Tubes:
Hot rolled tubes are pickled to remove scale
Cold drawing precisely reduces the diameter – achieves tight tolerances
Heat treatment – BK (as-drawn), BKW (finish drawn), NBK (normalized) as specified
Straightening – ensures straightness for hydraulic applications
Precision cutting – to exact customer length
100% NDT and hydrostatic testing – guarantees integrity
Grade Selection – Hydraulic Cylinder Applications
| Application | Recommended Grade | Delivery Condition | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| General precision parts | ST35 | NBK | Economical |
| Hydraulic cylinders (standard) | ST52 | NBK | Most popular |
| High strength hydraulics | ST52 | BK | Maximum strength |
