Are these two sentences correct? Do they sound natrular? I set the timer for 10 minutes. When it had expired the alarm set off.

'the alarm went off'. Apart from that, and your typo of 'natural', they are fine.

Thank you! So , there is no need of using past perfect.

I would say "I set the timer for 10 minutes, and when it expired, the alarm went off." As they are though, "had expired" sounds a little odd, especially for just colloquial speech. You'd also need a comma following "expired," as it's the end of a clause.
