FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 15 July 1965, after the draft finalized by the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee had been approved Structural and Metals Division Council. 0.2 For considerable time, several requests were received by ISI for making available a document giving equivalent Indian Standard steels for standard steels of other countries. This work, however, could not be undertaken until IST was able to formulate a rationalized list of standard steels to be used in this country. As a result of intensive study and discussions with the important users and the manufacturers of steel in this country, it was possible to publish IS: 1570-1961 Schedules for wrought steels for general engineer- jing purposes. As an extension of this work, @ comparison of Indian and overseas standards for ‘wrought steels for general engineering purposes has now been compiled. This comparison includes Indian, British, American ( SAE, ATSI, ASM and ASTM), German (DIN and Werkstof), Japanese and Russian Standards for wrought Heels. 0.3 For cave of reference the steels in various tables (excluding Tables 1 and 2) are arranged inthe sending fer of matimu carbon nee tent, thus bringing together, as far as posible, similar compositions. Further, in selecting Indian Standard Steels equivalent to overseas standard Steels, the actual composition of steels should be compared. Overseas standard steels covering two or, more Indian Standard steels have been 30 indicated in the tables. 0.4 It will be appreciated that this standard ree resents the position with regard to the British, American, German, Japanese and Russian speci. fications existing at the time of publication, 0.5 In the formulation of this standard, consider- able assistance was rendered to the Sectional Committee by Shri S: Barraclough, Research and Development Department, United Steel Companies Ltd, Sheffield (UK). This assist- ance was made available to the Indian Standards Institution through the Colombo Plan Council for ‘Technical Co-operation in South and South East Asia. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard compares wrought steels. in- cluded in Indian Standards with British, American (SAE, AISI, ASM and ASTM), German (DIN and Werkstoff), Japanese and Russian Standards for wrought steels in Tables I to 17. Nore 1—For the benefit of users in selecting proper steels, 18: 1871-1965 Commentary on Indian Standard schedules for wrought steels for general enginecting purposes ( complementary to 18:1570-1961) has been. published. In this commentary steels have been discussed in groupe according to their metallurgical behaviour and heat treaiment. Some typical applications of the standard steels have also been given in Appendix A of this commentary. Nore 2— Index to IS : 1870-1965 is also included in this publication. It gives reference numbers for various stecls given in Indian, British, American (SAB, AISI, ASM and ASTM), German (DIN and werkstoff), Japanese and Russian Standards,
