The plates are delivered with inspection certificate 3.1 or 3.2 in accordance with EN 10204. The document type and, in case of inspection certificate 3.2, the inspection representative are to be stated on the order.
Identification of plates
Unless otherwise agreed the marking is carried out via steel stamps with at least the following information:

• heat number
• number of mother plate and individual plate
• the manufacturer's symbol
• inspectors' sign
Fabrication properties
The entire fabrication and application techniques are of fundamental importance to the reliability of the products made from this steel. The user should ensure that his design, construction and processing methods are aligned with the material, correspond to the state-of-the-art that the fabricator has to comply with and suitable for the intended use. The customer is responsible for the selection of the material. The recommendations in accordance with EN 1011-2 should be observed.
Forming properties and weldability
20MnMoNi4-5 pressure vessel steel can be hot or cold formed and can be welded and flame cut according to the general procedures. The guidelines according to EN 1011 and VdTÜV-material data sheet 440/1 shall be observed. For the fabrication of pressure vessels in accordance with AD 2000 Merkblatt in the context of PED qualified welding consumables have to be applied. For other applications the use of qualified welding consumables is recommended.
Heat treatment
| Quenching and tempering | Stress relieving | ||
Austenitizing + quenching 870 to 940 °C After temperature achievement over the whole section cooling in water | Tempering 610 to 690 °C Holding time after temperature achievement over the whole section: 30 min, cooling in still air | 580 - 620 °C | |
thickness mm | time 1) min | ||
30 > 30 ≤ 250 | ≥ 30 ≥ 60 | ||
Generally the maximum stress relieving time shall be restricted to 150 min. If it exceeds 90 min or in case of repeated heat treatment the lower range of recommended temperatures shall apply. If stress relieving and tempering are joined together in one process, the tempering conditions apply.
The stress relieving temperature must not be higher than the tempering temperature applied at VANFORGE. It should rather be situated in a sufficient distance of at least 30 °C below the tempering temperature in order to avoid a decrease of the mechanical properties. In many cases the stress relieving temperature during processing is determined by other influencing factors and therefore can not always be 30 °C below the tempering temperature applied at VANFORGE. Therefore we recommend to consult us so that we can check the scheduled stress relieving conditions.
Temperatures and holding times are determined by the steel manufacturer as a function of the plate thickness and the chemical composition. In order to preserve the mechanical properties the fabricator should ensure that the subsequent heat treatments correspond to those applied by the manufacturer (indicated in the plate inspection document).
General technical delivery requirements
Unless otherwise agreed, the general technical delivery requirements in accordance with EN 10021 apply.
Tolerances
Unless otherwise agreed, tolerances are in accordance with EN 10029, with class B for the thickness and class N for the flatness.
Surface condition
Unless otherwise agreed, the provisions in accordance with class B2 of EN 10163 are applicable.
General notes
If special requirements, which are not listed in this material specification, are to be met by the steel due to its intended use or processing, these requirements are to be agreed before the order.
