Full title and description

STB DIN 1652 1963-05 — Bright unalloyed steel; technical conditions of delivery (German: "Blanker unlegierter Stahl; Technische Lieferbedingungen"). This is the original DIN national standard specifying delivery requirements for bright (cold-finished) non‑alloy steels issued in May 1963.

Abstract

DIN 1652:1963-05 defines technical delivery conditions for bright (cold‑finished) non‑alloy steels: material designation and ordering, permitted manufacturing and finishing processes, chemical composition/grade references, mechanical properties and tolerances, marking and inspection/acceptance rules intended for bars, wire and similar bright steel products. The original document is short (around 10 pages) and was later incorporated into revised DIN 1652 parts and European EN standards.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded.
• Publication date: 1963-05 (May 1963).
• Publisher: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN).
• ICS / categories: Metals; ferrous metals and steel products (example related ICS sectors for later parts: 77.140.x).
• Edition / version: Original edition — designation DIN 1652:1963-05.
• Number of pages: Approximately 10 pages in the original release.

Scope

This standard covers technical delivery conditions for bright (cold‑finished) non‑alloy steels used for bars, rods and similar semi‑finished bright products: requirements for chemical composition and grade designation, acceptable manufacturing/finishing routes, delivery conditions (surface, tolerances, dimensions), marking and inspection. It was intended to be used together with other material and product standards (e.g., DIN 17100 and later, the DIN 1652 multipart revisions).

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and scope for "bright steel" (cold‑finished products).
• Designation and ordering information (how grades and conditions are specified on orders).
• Permitted manufacturing and finishing processes and delivery states (cold‑drawn, turned, peeled, etc.).
• Chemical composition and grade references (example grades in the DIN 1652 family: C10, C15, C22, C35, C45, C60, Ck10–Ck60; structural grades St34–St70 etc.).
• Mechanical property ranges and dimensional/tolerance rules appropriate for bright products.
• Inspection, testing and marking/traceability requirements for delivery acceptance.

Typical use and users

Material specifiers, producers and suppliers of bright (cold‑finished) steel bars and rods, fastener manufacturers, machine‑component producers, purchasers in metalworking and engineering, and testing laboratories. Buyers use the standard to specify delivery requirements; producers use it to set production and inspection processes.

Related standards

DIN 1652:1963-05 was later reorganised into multipart DIN 1652 revisions (parts 1–4, 1990) and ultimately superseded in scope by European standards EN 10277 (Bright steel products — technical delivery conditions) and related DIN updates. DIN 17100 (general structural steel specifications) and ISO/EN material standards for steel composition and testing are commonly referenced.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN 1652:1963-05 is a German national standard titled "Bright unalloyed steel; technical conditions of delivery" that specified delivery requirements for cold‑finished non‑alloy steels.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers designation/ordering, permitted manufacturing and finishing methods, composition/grade references, mechanical property and dimensional tolerances, marking and inspection rules for bright steel products (bars, rods, wire).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Steel producers and processors of cold‑finished bright steels, component and fastener manufacturers, procurement/specification engineers and test laboratories.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: It is withdrawn/superseded. The original 1963 standard was reorganised into later DIN 1652 parts (e.g., DIN 1652‑1 to ‑4 editions around 1990) and the relevant technical scope was subsequently covered by European EN standards such as EN 10277 (late 1990s/2000s). Users should reference the later DIN parts or EN 10277 series for current requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — the DIN 1652 subject was expanded into a multipart series (DIN 1652‑1, ‑2, ‑3, ‑4 in later revisions) and then mapped into EN 10277 parts. Those later parts should be consulted for modern practice.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Bright steel; blankstahl; non‑alloy; delivery conditions; chemical composition; mechanical properties; tolerances; marking; inspection; EN 10277; DIN 17100.
