prEN 10338
(Main)Hot rolled and cold rolled non-coated products of multiphase steels for cold forming - Technical delivery conditions
General Information
- Abstract
1.1 This European Standard applies to hot rolled and cold rolled non-coated steel flat products made of multiphase steels for cold forming of thickness equal to or less than 3 mm.
1.2 If agreed at the time of enquiry and order, this European Standard may also be applied to continuously hot rolled flat products in thicknesses > 3 mm. In this case the mechanical properties and thickness tolerances should also be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
1.3 These products are delivered in sheet, wide strip, slit wide strip or cut lengths obtained from slit wide strip.

Overview
prEN 10338 is a CEN draft European Standard specifying the technical delivery conditions for hot rolled and cold rolled, non-coated flat products made of multiphase steels intended for cold forming. The standard covers products with nominal thicknesses ≤ 3 mm, and - if agreed at enquiry and order - can also be applied to continuously hot rolled flat products with thicknesses > 3 mm. Deliverable product forms include sheet, wide strip, slit wide strip, and cut lengths obtained from slit wide strip.
This standard helps producers, purchasers and fabricators agree clear conditions for supply and acceptance of multiphase steel flat products used in cold forming processes.
Key Topics
- Material scope and product forms
- Hot rolled and cold rolled, non-coated multiphase steel flat products
- Delivery in sheet, wide strip, slit wide strip, or cut lengths
- Thickness limits
- Primary scope: thickness ≤ 3 mm
- Option to cover > 3 mm when specifically agreed (mechanical properties and thickness tolerances must be agreed)
- Technical delivery conditions
- Requirements and parameters to be agreed at enquiry and order (for example: mechanical properties, thickness tolerances)
- Typical delivery-condition topics (dimensional tolerances, surface and edge conditions, marking and documentation) are addressed within the standard framework
- Applicability
- Intended for multiphase steels designed for cold forming applications (non-coated)
Note: this summary reflects the scope and structure of prEN 10338 without adding proprietary technical values not included in the source.
Applications
- Automotive industry: production of cold-formed components where high strength and formability of multiphase steels are needed
- Cold forming and stamping suppliers: specifying incoming material in procurement and quality control
- Steel manufacturers and service centers: defining delivery parameters and documentation for non-coated multiphase flat products
- Design and quality engineers: aligning component design, tooling and process capability with supplied steel properties
These users rely on prEN 10338 to ensure consistent material quality, correct dimensions, and agreed mechanical characteristics for reliable cold forming performance.
Related Standards
- prEN 10338 is published under the CEN framework and complements other European standards covering steel delivery conditions and cold-rolled products. Where applicable, users should reference the relevant CEN/EN standards for general delivery conditions, testing, and product definitions when specifying procurement and quality requirements.
