Single reduced blackplate is specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm,
from 0,17 mm up to and including 0,49 mm. Double reduced blackplate is specified in nominal thicknesses
that are multiples of 0,005, from 0,14 mm up to and including 0,29 mm.
This standard applies to coils in nominal minimum widths of 600 mm either with trimmed or untrimmed
edges.

standard and does not specify his requirements at the time of the enquiry and order, the product shall be
supplied on the following basis:
a) for double reduced blackplate — with a stone surface finish (see 6.2.2);

4.3 Additional information

a) his production facilities which he anticipates will be appropriate to the ordered blackplate;
b) the intended end use.
5 Designation
5.1 Single reduced blackplate

based on the Rockwell HR30Tm hardness values as given in Table 1.
Single reduced material covered by this standard shall be designated by the following characteristics in the
given sequence:
a) a description of the material (i.e. blackplate coil);
b) the number of this European Standard (EN 10205);
c) the temper designation in accordance with Table 1;
d) the type of annealing if required by the user (see 8.1);
e) the type of finish (see 3.6);
f) the dimensions of the thickness and width in mm;
g) whether mill edge or trimmed.
EXAMPLE: Blackplate EN 10205 – T61 – CA – stone – 0,20 × 800, trimmed.
5.2 Double reduced blackplate
For the purposes of this standard double reduced blackplate is designated in terms of a system of
mechanical property classifications based on the 0,2 % proof stress as given in Table 2.
Double reduced material covered by this standard shall be designated by the following characteristics in
the given order:
a) a description of the material (i.e. blackplate coil);
b) the number of this European Standard (EN 10205);
c) the mechanical property designation (see Table 2);
EN 10205:1992
6 © BSI 12-1999
d) the type of annealing, if required by the user (see 8.1);
e) the dimensions of the thickness and width in mm;
f) whether mill edge or trimmed.
EXAMPLE: Blackplate EN 10205 – DR 620 – CA – 0,18 × 750, mill edge.
6 Manufacturing features
6.1 Manufacture
The methods of manufacture of blackplate are the province of the manufacturer and are not specified in
this standard.
The purchaser shall be informed if any alteration is made to the method of manufacture that will affect the
coating operation and the properties of the blackplate.
NOTE It is recommended that the manufacturer supplies to the purchaser such details of the manufacturing process as may assist
the purchaser in his efficient use of the blackplate.
6.2 Finish
6.2.1 Single reduced blackplate
Single cold reduced blackplate can be supplied with either a smooth, stone or shot blast finish, and the
finish required shall be specified at the time of order [see 4.1 c)].
6.2.2 Double reduced blackplate
Double cold reduced blackplate is usually supplied with a stone surface finish (see 3.6.3).
6.3 Oiling
To avoid corrosion, blackplate shall be normally supplied with a sufficient layer of a suitable, non-mineral,
protective oil. The oil shall be removed by an adequate inline cleaning process before any subsequent
coating.
If blackplate is required without an oil coating this shall be indicated at the time of order [see 4.2 c)].
NOTE If unoiled blackplate is supplied there is an increased risk of surface corrosion.
6.4 Defects
The producer is expected to employ his normal quality control and line inspection procedures to ensure that
the blackplate manufactured is in accordance with the requirements of this standard.
However, the production of blackplate coils in continuous strip mill operations does not afford the
opportunity for removal of all blackplate that does not comply with the requirements of this standard. If,
when processing blackplate coil, the user (or his agent) encounters recurring defects which are
incompatible with the end use [see 4.3 b)], it is essential — where practicable — that he stops processing
the coil and advises the supplier.
The user is expected to have adequate handling and roller levelling equipment and to take reasonable care
during these operations.
7 Specific requirements
Blackplate shall comply with the appropriate requirements of clauses 8 to 10.
When tests are carried out to verify compliance with the requirements of clauses 8 and 9, samples shall be
selected from consignments in accordance with clause 11.
Coils shall be dispatched as described in clause 14.
8 Mechanical properties
8.1 General
For the purposes of this standard single reduced blackplate is classified into temper grades based on
Rockwell HR30Tm hardness values and double reduced blackplate classification is based on the 0,2 % proof
stress properties and Rockwell HR30Tm hardness values.
Other mechanical properties will significantly influence the performance of blackplate in processing and
subsequent intended end use will vary depending on the steel type and the methods of casting, annealing
and temper rolling employed.
EN 10205:1992
© BSI 12-1999 7
NOTE By agreement, the type of annealing for blackplate, i.e. BA or CA (see 3.4 or 3.5) may be specified when ordering.
8.2 Single reduced blackplate
The hardness value for single reduced blackplate shall be as given in Table 1 when tested as described
in 12.2.
8.3 Double reduced blackplate
When tested as described in 12.2 and 12.3 the mechanical properties shall be as given in Table 2.
NOTE For routine testing the proof stress may be determined using the springback test as described in Annex A. However, in cases
of dispute, the method given in 12.3 is used.
Table 1 — Hardness values for single reduced blackplate
Table 2 — Mechanical properties of double reduced blackplate
9 Tolerances on dimensions and shape
9.1 General
Tolerances on dimensions (i.e. thickness and linear dimensions) and shape (i.e. edge camber, lateral
weave) are specified in 9.2 to 9.5 together with appropriate methods of measurement.
9.2 Coil width
The width of the coil shall be measured across each sample sheet, selected in accordance with clause 11, to
the nearest 0,5 mm. The width shall be measured across the centre of the sample sheet, at right angles to
the rolling direction, with the sample sheet lying on a flat surface. The measured width shall be not less
than the ordered width and shall not exceed the ordered width by more than 3 mm for trimmed coil.
9.3 Coil thickness
9.3.1 General
The transverse thickness profile shall be measured using the micrometer method described in 12.1.2. All
other thicknesses shall be determined by the weighing method (see 12.1.1) or by direct measurement using
the micrometer method (see 12.1.2). However, in cases of dispute and for all retests, except for transverse
thickness profile, the weighing method shall be used.
9.3.2 Thickness of a coil
The thickness of sample sheets shall not deviate from the nominal thickness of the coil by more
than ± 8,5 %.
