CHEMISTRY & MECHANICAL SUMMARY FOR ASTM - JIS - TIS
JIS G3101 & TIS 1479 are not
permitted for load bearing
moment frame members, these
materials are acceptable for
secondary steel and casing duct.
VPI restrictions promote
weldability
Secondary steel and casing
plate properties are equivalent.
0,20
0.60-1.40
TIS & JIS chemistries are
weldable. TIS 1227 SS/SM400
requires VPI approval for
moment frame members.
SS400 material with unknown
C% will be required to meet
bend testing requirements of
ASTM E290 before use.
(or JIS Z 2204, Z 2248)
Strength differences are
accounted for during member
design when the item is
secondary steel and casing plate
properties are equivalent.

VPI restrictions are not acceptable.
VPI to confirm that CEV acc following IIW equation
CEV=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/15
is maximum 0.40.
This has to be verified in the mill test report for every batch/heat
by specific testing.
Furthermore, Cu to be maximum 0.45% and N less than 0.012%
Elongation to be
minimum 23%.
To be approved in the
mill test report after
specific testing for
every batch
specific testing for each
batch/heat is required
(mill test reports)
Only killed steels to be
used for hot-rolling.
VPI to confirm
Carbon content to be
maximum 0.22%.
To be verified in the
mill test report for each
batch/heat of material
Equation not appropriate.
The equation established by the IIW shall
be used:
CEV=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/15
CEV values to be mentioned in the mill
test reports after specific testing of each
batch/heat.
CEV to be less than 0.40
Impact toughness to be
determined by Charpy-V
notched samples, to be
tested at 0C. Minimum
value to be 27J.
The impact toughness
results have to
mentioned in the mill
test reports for each
batch/heat.
