SCHEDULES FOR WROUGHT STEELS
PART 2 CARBON STEELS (UNALLOYED STEELS\ Section 1 Wrought Products (Other Than Wires) With Specified Chemical Composition and Related Properties

( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 5 March 1979, after the draft finalized by the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals Divisjon Council.

0.2 Schedules for wrought steels for general engineering purposes ( IS :

1570-1961 ) was first published in 1961. On the basis of the experience gained in the production and use of steels, the Sectional Committee has The other parts of decided to revise the standard and issue it in parts. the standard are as follows: Part I Steels specified by tensile and/or yield properties Part III Carbon and carbon manganese free cutting steels Part IV Alloy steels ( excluding stainless and heat-resisting steels ) Part V Stainless and heat-resisting steels* Part VI Tool steels, 0.3 The following major modifications have been made in this revision: a) Steel designations have been modified in -accordance with IS : 1762 ( Part I )-1974t. However, for the sake of easy identification old designations are also given within brackets. b) New grades 2C2, 5OC8,6OC6 have been added. c) .Manganese content of grades CO5 ( 5C4 ), C55 ( 55C4 ), and C60 ( 6OC4 ) have been modified. d) Mechanical properties for cold-drawn bars given in Table 3 have been modified on the basis of experience gained.

0.4 This schedule does not give limits for sulphur and phosphorus. These have to be specified in the detailed specifications. The standard ranges for sulphur and phosphorus and the method for designating steel according to its sulphur and phosphorus content, steel making practice and method of deoxidation is detailed in Appendix A for information. 0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1. ScofE

1.1 This schedule ( Part II ) is applicable to standards for carbon steels when it is necessary for the steel to be supplied to a composition within reasonably defined limits. This schedule is not intended to be used as a standard. 1.1.1 This schedule may be used for ordering steels provided specification is available for the particular steel.
2. GENERAL no detailed

2.1 While

or revising existing standards, preparing Indian Standards, steels listed in this schedule shall be selected. The specification of mechanical properties different from those. given in this schedule should not be made unless special conditions of service render this essential. In that event, full reasons for the proposed departure from the steels specified in this schedule shall be submitted to the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee, SMDC 19, and its approval obtained. 2.2 In addition to specified mechanical properties, ranges for carbon and manganese are, laid down in the schedule ( see Table 1 ), but as in many cases, the steels of lower carbon content are required as rimming, semikihed or killed steel depending on the subsequent manipulation and conditions of service, the silicon content has not~been specified. Where necessary, the silicon content or the type of steel, for example, killed, semi-killed, Since different levels of sulphur etc, should be included in the standard. and phosphorus are required according to the severity of the conditions in service, limits for these elements are also not included in the schedule but should be specified in a specification at levels appropriate to the method of steel production, conditions of service, etc.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values (rcvhcd).

2.3 This schedule includes specified tensile properties applicable to the different conditions, for example, Table 2 gives values for the hot-rolled or These values are based on ruling sections up to normalized conditions. 150 mm and for larger sizes,some adjustment of the specified tensile range for a particular range of composition, or conversely, of the specified composition for a particular range .of tensile strength, may be necessary. Mechanical properties for cold-drawn bars and for hardened and tempered bars and forgings, together with the &es, to which these properties are applicable are given in Tables 3 and 4. Table 5 gives-the properties for case-hardening steels, that is, the properties obtainable in the core of casehardened parts after refining and quenching. Some of the steels are used in the form of sheet and strip and tubes and the tensile properties of these are given in Tables 6, 7 and 8. For some purposes, a minimum yield stress is regarded as specification requirement and minimum yield stress values are, therefore, given for some of the physical conditions for inclusion in specifications, if required. Information on the assessment of the ruling section of bars, forgings and parts is given in Tables 9 and 10. 2.4 In addition, values for the specified minimum percentage elongation -corresponding to the specified tensile ranges are included. Different types of test pieces are used for the tensile test depending on the form of the material; for example, flat test pieces for thin plates, sections and flat bars; unniachined Found test pieces for small size round bars; and machined round test pieces for thicker plates, for larger size round bars and for square bars, and forgings. Since the percentage elongation depends on the relation between the gauge length and the cross-sectional area of the test piece, specified minimum values for the percentage elox?gation for the different types of test pieces are included in the schedule. These elongation values given are based dn a gauge length of 5*65drwhich is now internationally accepted. If test pieces of other than 5*6Wxgauge length are used, elongation conversion may be obtained from IS : 3803-1974*. 2.5 For tensile tests on tubes, the specified percentage elongation should be based on the recently adopted formulae of either ,950 divided by !the actual tensile strength in kgf /mm* when using a gauge length equivalent to P65dxor of 1 100 divided by the actual tensile strength in kgf /mm* when using a gauge length equivalent to 44x 2.6 The notch toughness of steels after hardening and tempering is sometimes assessed by an impact test and values for incorporation in speci&ations; if required, are given in the relevant tables of the schedule,

APPENDIX ( Clause 0.4 )

NEW SYSTEM OF DESIGNATION OF STEELS A-l. GENERAL A-l.1 The new system of designation of steel is based on the draft IS0 proposal submitted by India to ISO/TC 17 a Steel for formulation of an international standard. Details of the new designation system are given in IS : 1762 ( Part I )-1974*.
A-2. STEELS DESIGNATED COMPOSITION ON THE BASIS OF CHEMICAL

A-2.1 Unalloyed Steels ( as Defined in IS I 759&1974t ) - The code designation shall consist of the following in the order given: a) Figure indicating 100 times the average percentage of carbon content, b) Letter C , and c) Figure indicating 10 times the average percentage of manganese content. The figure after multiplying shall be rounded off to the nearest integer according to the rules given in IS : 2-1960$ d) If necessary, symbols indicating special characteristics as fellows: 1) Method of designationDepending on whethe: the steel is killed, semi-killed or rimming variety, the following symbols shall be used to indicate the steel making practice: i) R - rimming steel, and ii) K = killed steel.
NOTE If no symbol is used, it shall mean that the steel is of-semi-killed type.

2) Steel quality - The following symbols shall be used to indicate steel quality: Q1 = non-ageing quality, Q2 p= freedom from flakes, Q3 - grain size controlled,. Q4= inclusion controlled, and Q5 = internal homogeneity guaranteed.
*Code for designation of steels: Part I Based on letter symbols. *Classification of steels. JRules for rounding off numerical values (ret&i).

The above symbols use the letter P followed by 1000 times the maximum percentage of sulphur and phosphorus, In case the maximum contents of sulphur and phosphorus are not -same, the following procedure shall be followed: Symbol SP shall be used to indicate the levels followed by: a) 100 times integer. the maximum sulphur rounded off * to the nearest

b) 100 times &e maximum integer. Example:

phosphorus rounded off * to the nearest
