FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Seventh Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical
Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1962 and revised in 1969, 1975, 1984, 1992, 1999 and 200 6. While reviewing
this standard, in the light of experience gained during these years, the Committee decided to revise it to bring
in line with the present practices being followed by the Indian steel industry, both in the integrated as well as
secondary sectors. The Committee further decided to harmonize the standard with the overseas standards on
carbon-manganese
carbon-manganese and high strength low alloy (HSLA) of structural steels.

In this revision, the following changes have been made:

construction segment. Moreover, for each grade two to four sub-qualities have been introduced,
depending upon the grade, where sub-quali ties A, BR, B0 and C, in line with other international stan dards,
indicate the mode of killing and impact test requirements.

For all the tests specified in this standard (chemical/physical/others), the method as specified in relevant
ISO Standard may also be followed as an alternate method.

While revising the standard, assistance has been derived from the following international specifications:

ASTM A 36 : 2008 Specificatio n for structural steel

ASTM A 572 : 2007 Specification for high-strength low-alloy colu mbium-vanadium structural steel

EN 10025-2 : 2004 Hot rolled products of structural steels

The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.

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 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 be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1  New grade designation system based on minimum yield stress has been adopted.
2  For semi-killed steel, silicon shall be less than 0.10 percent. For killed steel, when the steel is killed by aluminium alone, the
total aluminium content shall not be less than 0.02 percent. When the steel is killed by silicon alone, the silicon content shall
not be less than 0.10 percent. When the steel is silicon-aluminium killed, the silicon content shall not be less than 0.03 percent
and total aluminium content shall not be less than 0.01 percent.
3 Steels of qualities A, BR, B0 and C are generally suitable for welding processes. The weldability increases from quality A to C
for grade designation E 250 and E 275.

4 Carbon equivalent (CE) would be calculated based on ladle analysis, only. CE = C + + +
6 5 15
5  Micro-alloying elements like Nb, V and Ti
Ti may be added singly or in combination. Total micro-alloying
micro-alloying elements shall not be
more than 0.25 percent.
6 Alloying elements such as Cr, Ni, Mo and B may be added under agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. In case
of E 600 and E 650 the limit of Cr and Ni, either singly or in combination, shall not exceed 0.50 percent and 0.60 percent
respectively.
7  Copper may be present between 0.20 to 0.35 percent as mutually agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer. The
copper bearing quality shall be designated with a suffix Cu, for example E 250 Cu. In case of product analysis the copper content
shall be between 0.17 and 0.38 percent.
8  Incidental element   — Elements not quoted in Table 1 shall not be intentionally added to steel without the agreement of the
 purchas er, other than for the purpose of finish ing the heat. All reaso nable preca utions shall be taken to preven t the additi on
from scrap or other materials used in manufacture of such elements which affect the hardenability, mechanical properties and
applicability.
