The definition of the status and nomenclature of heat treatment of steel tubes

Condition and marking of the heat treatment of tubes according to EN 10052 and EN 10305-1

+CCold drawn / hard. After the last cold forming with no heat treatment.
+LCCold drawn / soft. After the last heat treatment there is a subsequent slight finishing pass (cold drawing).
+SRCold drawn and annealed to remove stresses. After the final cold drawing tubes are annealed in a protective atmosphere to remove the tension.
+AAfter the final cold drawing tubes are annealed (soft) in a protective atmosphere.
+NNormalized. After the final cold drawing tubes are normalized in a protective atmosphere.

Condition and marking of heat treatment of tubes according to DIN 2391-2

BKCold drawn / hard. After the last cold forming no heat treatment.
BKWCold drawn / soft. After the last heat treatment there is a subsequent slight finishing pass (cold drawing).
BKSCold drawn and annealed to remove stresses. After the final cold drawing tubes are annealed in a protective atmosphere to remove the tension.
GBKAfter the final cold drawing tubes are annealed (soft) in a protective atmosphere.
NBKNormalized. After the final cold drawing tubes are normalized in a protective atmosphere.
