EN 10222 is a European standard series covering steel forgings for pressure purposes. The series is used for pressure-containing forged components such as flanges, rings, valve bodies, pressure-vessel components and other forged parts where controlled mechanical properties, chemical composition and heat treatment are required.

EN 10222-1 provides the general requirements, while Parts 2 to 5 specify the material requirements for different steel families. Parts 2 through 5 cover ferritic and martensitic steels for elevated temperatures, nickel steels for low temperatures, weldable fine-grain steels, and stainless steels respectively.


EN 10222-2 – Ferritic and Martensitic Steels with Specified Elevated Temperature Properties

EN 10222-2 specifies ferritic and martensitic steel forgings intended for pressure purposes where elevated-temperature mechanical properties are required. The standard includes non-alloy steels, low-alloy creep-resistant steels and higher-alloy chromium-molybdenum and chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steels.

The duplex grades are supplied in solution-annealed condition, with solution-treatment temperatures depending on grade.


Forms of Supply

EN 10222 forgings can be supplied in pressure-equipment forging forms such as:

Forged Flanges | Forged Rings | Forged Valve Bodies | Forged Pressure Vessel Components | Forged Covers | Forged Nozzles | Forged Hubs | Forged Discs | Forged Closures | Custom Pressure Forgings


Heat Treatment

Heat treatment varies substantially according to the EN 10222 part and grade.

EN 10222-2 includes normalized, normalized-and-tempered, quenched-and-tempered and, for certain grades, annealed conditions. High-alloy grades such as X10CrMoVNb9-1 and X20CrMoV11-1 require controlled austenitizing and tempering.

EN 10222-3 uses normalized, normalized-and-tempered and quenched-and-tempered conditions according to the nickel grade.

EN 10222-4 uses normalized or quenched-and-tempered conditions depending on grade. For example, P355QL1 and P355QL2 are supplied quenched and tempered, while P355NL1 and P355NL2 are normalized.

EN 10222-5 stainless grades are primarily supplied in solution-annealed condition, with the applicable solution-treatment temperature determined by the grade.


Mechanical Properties

The required mechanical properties depend on the material group, grade, ruling section thickness and heat-treatment condition.

EN 10222-2 emphasizes elevated-temperature proof strength in addition to room-temperature tensile properties.

EN 10222-3 emphasizes tensile properties and low-temperature impact toughness. For example, X8Ni9 provides a minimum yield strength of 490 MPa for smaller ruling sections and tensile strength of 640–840 MPa.

EN 10222-4 contains high-proof-strength fine-grain grades such as P420 and P460 series materials.

EN 10222-5 provides tensile and proof-strength requirements for martensitic, austenitic and duplex stainless steel forgings, including elevated-temperature properties for applicable grades.


Applications

EN 10222 forgings are commonly used for pressure-containing and pressure-retaining components in:

Pressure Vessels | Boilers | Heat Exchangers | Steam Systems | Power Generation Equipment | Petrochemical Equipment | Chemical Processing Equipment | Oil & Gas Equipment | Refinery Equipment | High-Temperature Pressure Systems | Low-Temperature Pressure Systems | Stainless Steel Pressure Equipment


Key Features

  • Controlled chemical composition for pressure applications.
  • Defined mechanical properties according to grade and ruling section.
  • Grades for elevated-temperature service under EN 10222-2.
  • Nickel grades for low-temperature toughness under EN 10222-3.
  • High-strength weldable fine-grain grades under EN 10222-4.
  • Austenitic, martensitic and duplex stainless grades under EN 10222-5.
  • Controlled heat-treatment requirements.
  • Suitable for forged pressure-containing components.
  • Requirements are coordinated with the general requirements of EN 10222-1.

Conclusion

EN 10222 Parts 2 to 5 provide a comprehensive range of forged steels for pressure equipment. EN 10222-2 covers ferritic and martensitic steels with elevated-temperature properties, EN 10222-3 covers nickel steels for low-temperature service, EN 10222-4 covers weldable fine-grain high-proof-strength steels, and EN 10222-5 covers stainless steel forgings including martensitic, austenitic and duplex grades.
