CARBON STEEL CASTINGS FOR
SURFACE HARDENING - SPECIFICATION
( Fourth Revision )
ICS 11.140.10:77.140.80

FOREWORD
This Indian Smndnrd (Fourth Revision) was adopkd by the Bureau of Indian Standards. after the draft
finalized by the Steel Castings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1964 and was revised in 1973, 1982 and 1989. While reviewing ihe
standard in the light of the experiencegained during these years the committee has decided that the standard
may bc further revised. In this revision various clauses have been aligned with the recent standards on steel
castings. The following are the main modifications:
Carbon steel casrings are surface hardened for special service conditions where B rough core with a hard
surface for better wear resistance is necessary. for example, for heavy gears and anvils.
In Ihc preparation of this standard. assistance has been derived from BS 3100 : 1991 ‘Skel caslings for
general engineering purposes’, issued by [he British Standards Institution.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requiremem of this standard is complied with, the final
VAX, observed or calculared, expressing the result of a test or analysis. 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 he the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
