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 finali- zed 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 decided to revise the standard and issue it in parts. the standard are as follows:

The other parts of

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 identification old designations are also given within brackets.

easy

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.

*Already published as IS : 1570 ( Part V )-1972. tCode for designation of steels: Part I Based on letter symbols.

B : %7o(p8tt 2/&C 1) - 1979

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, express- ing 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 no detailed specification is available for the particular steel.

2. GENERAL

2.1 While preparing Indian Standards, or revising existing standards, steels listed in this schedule shall be selected. The specification of mecha- nical 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, semi- kihed or killed steel depending on the subsequent manipulation and condi- tions of service, the silicon content has not~been specified. Where necessary, the silicon content or the type of steel, for example, killed, semi-killed, etc, should be included in the standard. Since different levels of sulphur 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 normalized conditions. These values are based on ruling sections up to 150 mm and for larger sizes,some adjustment of the specified tensile range for a particular range of composition, or conversely, of the specified com- position 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 case- hardened 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 internation- ally 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 some- times assessed by an impact test and values for incorporation in speci&a- tions; if required, are given in the relevant tables of the schedule,

2.7 The specified mechanical properties are applicable to test samples taken from a standard location which’ should be included in the specification.

2.8 Any tests, for example, bend test, flattening tests on tube, etc, additional to the tests given in this schedule should also be specified in the standard as appropriate.

APPENDIX A ( 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 ON THE BASIS OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

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 designation- Depending 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).

13

IS : 1570(Part 2/Set 1) - 1979

3) Degree of )wity-- The sulphur and phosphorus analysis ) shall be expressed as follows:

levels ( ladle

Symbol Maximum Content in Percent _--___A-__---,

Phosphorus Sulphur

P25 0.025 0.025 P35 0.035 0.035 P50 0.050 o-050 P70 o-070 0*070

No symbol will mean 0.055 0.055

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 the maximum sulphur rounded off * to the nearest integer.

b) 100 times &e maximum phosphorus rounded off * to the nearest integer.

Example:

Maximum sulphur = O-045 percent

Maximum phosphorus = 0,035 percent Designation: SP 44.

4) Weldability guarantee - Guaranteed weldability of steel as deter- mined .by tests mutually agreed between the supplier and the manufacturer shall be indicated by the following symbols: W = fusion weldable, and W1 = weldable by resistance welding but not fusion weldable.

5) Resistance to brittle fracture - Symbol * B ‘, ‘ BO ‘, ‘ B2 ’ or x B4 ’ indicating resistance to brittle fracture based on the results of the V-notch Charpy impact test,

For steels B, ~BO, B2 and B4 a test should be made with Charpy V-notch specimens, taken in the direction of rolling with the notch perpendicular to the surface of the plate or product.

*Rounding off shall be done according to the rules given in 1s : Z-1960 Rules for ,rounding off numerical values (revtied ).

14

IS : 1570(Part 2/Set 1) - 1979

Steels B, BO, B2 and B4 are characterized by an average V-notch Charpy impact value according to the following table:

B4 28 -40 28 -50 40 -40

6) Surface condition - The following symbols shall be used to indicate surface condition: Sl = deseemed or scarfed;

S2 = descaled; s3 = pickled ( including washing and neutralizing ); S4 = shot, grit or sand blasted;

S5 = peeled ( skinned ); S6 = bright drawn or cold rolled; and S7 = ground.

NOTE - If no symbol is used, it shall mean that the surface is in as-rolled or as- forged condition.

7) Formability ( applicable to sheet only ) - The following symbols shall be used to indicate drawability:

Dl = drawing quality,

D2 = deep drawing quality, and D3 = extra deep drawing quality.

NOTE- If no symbol is used, it shall quality.

mean that the steel is of commercial

*lMPa = lN/mmg = 0,102 0 kgf/mm?

15

IS : 1570(Part 2/Set 1) - 1979

8) Surface jnish ( upjdicable to sheet only) - The following symbols shall be used to indicate the surface finish:

Fl I general purpose finish, F2 = full finish, F3 = exposed, F4 = unexposed, F5 s matt finish,

F6 = bright finish, F7 =i plating finish, F8 = unpolished finish, F9 = polished finish,

FlO = polished and coloured blue,

Fll = polished and coloured yellow,

F12 = mirror finish, F13 = vitreous enamel finish, and

F14 = direct annealed finish.

9) Treatment-The following symbols shall be used to indicate the treatment given to the steel:

Tl = shot-peened,

T2 = hard-drawn,

T3 = normalized*,

T4 s controlled rolled,

T5 = annealed,

T6 = patented,

T7 = solution-treated,

T8 I solution-treated and aged,

T9 = controlled cooled,

TlO = bright annealed,

T11 = spherodized,

T 12 =is stress-relieved,

T13 = case-hardened*, and

T14 s1 hardened and tempered. NOTIC - If no symbol is used, it means that the steel is hot-rolled.

*Includes tempering, if done.

1s : 1570(Parf 2/Set 1) - 1979

10) Elevated tem#erature properties - For guarantee with regard to elevated temperature properties, the letter ‘ H ’ shall be used. However, in the designation only the room temperature properties shall be shown. Elevated temperature properties shall be intimated to the purchaser separately by the manufac- turer.

11) Cryogenic qualify- For guarantee with regard to low temperature properties, the letter ‘ L ’ shall he used. However, only the room temperature properties shall be indicated in the designa- tion.

Examples:

21C5BO Semi-killed steel with average 0.25 percent carbon and 0.5 percent manganese content and resistance to brittle fracture grade BO.

45ClOW Steel with average 0.45 percent carbon, 1 percent manganese and guaranteed fusion weldable.
