SCHEDULES FOR WROUGHT STEELS
PART 2 CARBON STEELS (UNALLOYED STEELS)
SectlCln1 Wrought Products ( Other Than Wires) With Specified
Chemical Composition and Related Properties
( First Revision)
o. 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 Divisiorr 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 other parts of
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, 50CS, 60C6 have been added.
c) Manganese content of grades C05 ( 5C4), C55 ( 55C4), and
C60 ( 6004 ) 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.

IS : 1570(Part 2/Sec 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. SCOPE
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 frem 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-
killed 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 (revised).

2.! 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 rom and for larger size. lome 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 fOT hardened and tempered
bars and forgings, together with the s i z e l ~ to which these properties are
applicable are given in Tables 3 and 4. Table 5 gi\les -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;
unmachined round 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 elongation for the different
types of test pieces are included in the schedule. These elongation values
given are based on a gauge length of S65vAwhich is now internation-
ally accepted. If test pieces of other than So65v'Agauge 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 Imm
l
when using a gauge length equivalent
to 5-65v'Ior of 1 100 divided by the actual tensile strength in kgf Imm
l
when using a gauge length equivalent to 4v'.A.
2.6 The notch toughness of steels after hardening and tempering is some-
times assessed by an impact test and values for incorporation in specifica-
tions; if required, are given in the relevant tables of the schedule
Method Cor elongation conversions for steel (firsl ,1O;sioll. ).

NEW SYSTEM OF DESIGNATION OF STEELS
A-I. GENERAL
A-I.I The new system of designation of steel is based on the draft ISO
proposal submitted by India to I S O / 1 ~ C 17 ' Steel' for formulation of an
international standard. Details of the new designation system are given
in IS: 1762 (Part 1)-1974.
A..2. STEELS DESIGNATED ON THE BASIS OF CHEMICAL
COMPOSITION
A-2.1 Unalloyed Steels (as Defined in IS: 7598-197ft ) - 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 otT to the
nearest integer according to the rules given in IS : 2-1960j.
d) If necessary, symbols indicating special characteristics as follows:
1) Method of designation - Depending on whether 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 - Ifno 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:
Ql = non-ageing quality,
Q2 === 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 syrnbols.
tClassification of steels.
tRules for rounding off numerical va lur-s (rtl'is,d).
13

IS : 1570(P8rt 2/Sec 1) 1978
3) Degree of purity - The sulphur and phosphorus levels ( ladle
analysis) shall be expressed as follows:
Symbol Maximum Contenl in Percent
,----------"'--
Phosphorus Sulphur
P25 0025 0025
P35 0-035 0-035
P50 0'050 0'050
P70 0'070 0'070
No symbol will mean 0-055 0055
The above symbols use the letter f P , followed by 1 000 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 the maximum phosphorus rounded off to the nearest
integer.
Example:
Maximum sulphur -= 0'045 percent
Maximum phosphorus - 0'035 percent
Designation: SP 44.
4) Weldability guarant - 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
WI -= weldable by resistance welding but not fusion weldable.
5) Resistance to brittle fracture - Symbol' B " C BO " 'B2' or 'B4 t
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 rule. given in IS : 21960 Rules ror
rounding off numerical value. ( "ois,d ).
14

IS: 1570(Part 2/Sec 1) -1979
Steels B, BO, B2 and B4 are characterized 'by an average V-notch
Charpy impact value according to the following table:

6) Surface co"dition - The following symbols shall be used to
indicate surface condition:
S1 = deseemcd 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.
NOT1'l- If no symbol is used, it ahall mean that the surface is in aa-rolled or as-
forged condition,
7) Formability (applicable to sheet only) - The following symbols
shall be used to indicate drawabiJity:
Dl - drawing quality,
D2 = deep drawing quality, and
D3 = extra deep drawing quality.
NOTF.: - If no symbol is used, it shall mean that the steel is of commercial
qualit}"
