Note:
1. Steels of these grades can be supplied with the addition of micro-alloying elements
like Boron, Titanium, Niobium and Vanadium. The micro-alloying elements should
not exceed 0.20 % total in ladle analysis. However, in case of Boron, the limit shall
be 0.008 %.
2. The Nitrogen content of the steel shall not be more than 0.007%. For Aluminium
killed or Silicon-Aluminium killed steels, the Nitrogen contents shall not exceed
0.012 %. This has to be ensured by the manufacturer by occasional check analysis.
3. Grade MM12 EDD shall be supplied in fully Aluminium killed condition only.
4. When the steel is Aluminium killed, the total Aluminium content shall not be less
than 0.02 %. When the steel is Silicon killed, the Silicon content shall not be less
than 0.1 %. When the steel is Aluminium silicon killed, the Silicon content shall not
be less than 0.03 % and total Aluminium content shall not be less than 0.01 %.
