The standard specified the technical requirements for forgings and hot-rolled or forged steel bars made from weldable, heat-resisting steels. These materials were primarily intended for use in elevated-temperature applications, such as:
Materials supplied under DIN 17243 must undergo specific heat treatments to achieve the required microstructure:
is a withdrawn German industrial standard that specified the technical delivery conditions for wrought heat-resisting steel forgings . It has largely been superseded by European standard EN 10222-2 www.dinmedia.de Overview of DIN 17243 din 17243 pdf

The standard details the chemical makeup of various stainless steel grades designed for heat resistance. The material grades are commonly denoted by their material number (e.g., 1.4xxx) or short name.
: For steel forgings for pressure purposes with specified elevated temperature properties. Official sources confirm that DIN 17243 (1987 edition)
Official sources confirm that DIN 17243 (1987 edition) is classified as “zurückgezogen” (withdrawn), having been replaced by newer European standards.The standard was officially withdrawn in Austria in 2000.
