Foreword
Publishing information
This British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on
31 January 2011. It was prepared by Panel ACE/61/-/48, Heat resisting
alloys, under the authority of Technical Committee ACE/61, Metallic
materials for aerospace purposes. A list of organizations represented
on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

Supersession
Together with BS EN 2398 and BS EN 2399, this standard supersedes
BS HR 650:1972, which is withdrawn.

Information about this document

This standard is a full revision of BS HR 650 and introduces the following
principal changes:
a) the requirements are stated in tabular format in accordance with
EN 4500-1 and EN 4500-3;
b) the limiting ruling section covered in this standard has been
increased from 20 mm to 50 mm;
c) the bar for machining diameters covered in this standard have
been limited to include measurements above 25 mm, up to and
including 50 mm;
d) the supplied bar for forging (softened, cold worked and machined
or ground) diameters covered in this standard have been limited to
include measurements above 25 mm, up to and including 50 mm.

Hazard warnings

WARNING. This British Standard calls for the use of substances

and/or procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate
precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and
does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health
and safety at any stage.

Use of this document

It has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that the
execution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified
and experienced people, for whose use it has been produced.

Presentational conventions
The provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright)
type. Its methods are expressed either as a set of instructions or in
sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.
Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented
in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.

Contractual and legal considerations

This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions
of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from
legal obligations.

1 Scope
This British Standard specifies requirements for high expansion
heat-resisting steel bar and wire in the following forms for the
manufacture of bolts, studs, set screws and nuts.
a) Bar with a diameter over 25 mm up to and including 50 mm
and wire with a maximum diameter of 50 mm for machining:
softened, cold worked, solution treated and machined or ground,
designation HR 650A.
b) Bar with a diameter over 25 mm up to and including 50 mm
and wire with a maximum diameter of 50 mm for machining:
softened, cold worked, solution treated, precipitation treated
and machined or ground, designation HR 650B.
c) Bar with a diameter over 25 mm up to and including 50 mm and
wire with a maximum diameter of 50 mm for forging: softened,
cold worked and machined or ground, designation HR 650C.
d) Bar and wire with a maximum diameter of 50 mm for forging:
softened, cold worked, solution treated and machined or ground,
designation HR 650D.
