Available Conditions

  Here, you’ll find all common alloy designations in accordance with DIN EN 515 at a glance.
Condition Description
O soft-annealed – this condition can be used for products where the properties required for the soft-annealed condition are achieved by soft annealing
H12 strain-hardened - 1/4 hard
H14 strain-hardened - 1/2 hard
H16 strain-hardened - 3/4 hard
H18 strain-hardened - 4/4-hard (fully hardened)
H19 strain-hardened extra-hard
H111 annealed and slightly strain-hardened by subsequent stages,
e.g. stretching or fl attening – (less than H11)
H22 strain-hardened and recovered - 1/4 hard
H24 strain-hardened and recovered - 1/2 hard
H28 strain-hardened and recovered - 4/4-hard (fully hardened)
H32 strain-hardened and stabilised - 1/4 hard
H34 strain-hardened and stabilised - 1/2 hard
T3 solution annealed and cold formed naturally aged
T39 solution annealed and cold formed by a certain degree to achieve the specifi ed mechanical properties; cold forming can take place before or after natural ageing
T4 solution annealing and naturally aged
T6 solution annealed and artificially aged
T7 solution annealed and overhardened (artificially aged)
T73 solution annealed and overhardened (artificially aged)
to achieve an optimum resistance to stress corrosion cracking
T8 solution annealed, cold formed and artificially aged
T9 solution annealed, cold formed naturally aged
