FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after
the draft finalized by the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1966 and revised in 1979. This revision has been made in the
light of recent International practices. The following modifications have been incorporated in this
revision:
a) Grain size has been included.
b) The upper limits of Silicon content has been modified as per international
practice.
in hardened
hardening
have
and tempered
In a number of engineering applications stress distribution is not uniform throughout the section
of a component, surface being heavily stressed whereas the interior is stressed to a much smaller
extent. In order to prevent the failure at the surface it becomes necessary to provide strength at the
surface. This not only increases the resistance to wear and indentation, but also increases the
fatigue strength. Flame and induction hardening are employed to achieve this by altering the
structure at the surface by local hardening.
While normalized plain carbon steels are used for a
number of applications, steels in the hardened and tempered conditions are used when high core
strength and good impact properties are required.
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, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). The number of significant
places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.

Indian Standard
(s econd
Revision )
For continuously
cast bars/billets,
.a minimum
reduction ratio of 6:l between cast product and the
final product is recommended.
However,
other
reduction ratios may be mutually agreed upon between
manufacturer
and purchaser at the time of enquiry
and order.
1 SCOPE
This standard covers the requirements
for wrought
unalloyed and alloyed steels for flame and induction
hardening.

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed to in the order, the
processes used in making the steel and the product
shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer, but
the steel shall be fully killed. When so desired, the
purchaser
shall be informed
of the steel making
process.
However, for continuously
cast steels and for steels
in specially treated condition, like Blectro-flux refined,
Vacuum degassed, Secondary refined, the steel making
process should be agreed to at the time of enquiry and
order.

check analysis from the limits specified
shall be as given in Table 3.
10.2 Methods
of determining
the mechanical
properties specified in Tables 5 and 6 shall be in
accordance with IS 1598 : 1977 and IS 1608 : 1972.
in Table 2
11 GRAIN SIZE
11.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the steel when tested
for grain size in accordance with IS 4748 : 1988 shall
show grain size in the range of 5 to 8 for inherently
fine grained steel.
