SCHEDULES FOR WROUGHT STEELS
PART 2 CARBON STEELS (UNALLOYED STEELS)
SectlCln 1 Wrought Products ( Other Than Wires) With Specified
Chemical Composition and Related Properties
( First Revision)
o. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part II) (First Revision) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Institution on 5 March 1979, after the draft finali-
zed by the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Structural and Metals Divisiorr Council.
0.2 Schedules for wrought steels for general engineering purposes (IS:
1570-1961 ) was first published in 1961. On the basis of the experience
gained in the production and use of steels, the Sectional Committee has
decided to revise the standard and issue it in parts. The other parts of
the standard are as follows:
Part I Steels specified by tensile and/or yield properties
Part III Carbon and carbon manganese free cutting steels
Part IV Alloy steels ( excluding stainless and heat-resisting steels)
Part V Stainless and heat-resisting steels.
Part VI Tool steels
0.3 The following major modifications have been made in this revision:
a) Steel designations have been modified in accordance with
IS: 1762 (Part I )-1974t. However, for the sake of easy
identification old designations are also given within brackets.
b) New grades 2C2, 50CS, 60C6 have been added.
c) Manganese content of grades C05 ( 5C4), C55 ( 55C4), and
C60 ( 6004 ) have been modified.
d) Mechanical properties for cold-drawn bars given in Table 3 have
been modified on the basis of experience gained.
-Already published as IS : 1570 ( Part V)-1972.
tCode for designation of steels: Part I Based on letter symbols.

IS : 1570(Part 2/Sec 1) -1979
0.4 This schedule does not give limits for sulphur and phosphorus. These
have to be specified in the detailed specifications. The standard ranges
for sulphur and phosphorus and the method for designating steel according
to its sulphur and phosphorus content, steel making practice and method
of deoxidation is detailed in Appendix' A ' for information.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. 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. SCOPE
1.1 This schedule ( Part II ) is applicable to standards for carbon steels
when it is necessary for the steel to be supplied to a composition within
reasonably defined limits. This schedule is not intended to be used as a
standard.
1.1.1 This schedule may be used for ordering steels provided no detailed
specification is available for the particular steel.
2. GENERAL
2.1 While preparing Indian Standards, or revising existing standards,
steels listed in this schedule shall be selected. The specification of mecha-
nical properties different frem those given in this schedule should not
be made unless special conditions of service render this essential. In that
event, full reasons for the proposed departure from the steels specified in
this schedule shall be submitted to the Alloy Steels and Special Steels
Sectional Committee, SMDC 19, and its approval obtained.
2.2 In addition to specified mechanical properties, ranges for carbon and
manganese are, laid down in the schedule ( see Table 1 ), but as in many
cases, the steels of lower carbon content are required as rimming, semi-
killed or killed steel depending on the subsequent manipulation and condi-
tions of service, the silicon content has not been specified. Where necessary,
the silicon content or the type of steel, for example, killed, semi-killed,
etc, should be included in the standard. Since different levels of sulphur
and phosphorus are required according to the severity of the conditions
in service, limits for these elements are also not included in the schedule
but should be specified in a specification at levels appropriate to the
method of steel production, conditions of service, etc.

2.5 For tensile tests on tubes, the specified percentage elongation should
be' based on the recently adopted formulae of either 950 divided by the
actual tensile strength in kgf Imml when using a gauge length equivalent
to 5-65v'Ior of 1 100 divided by the actual tensile strength in kgf Imm l
when using a gauge length equivalent to 4v'.A.
2.6 The notch toughness of steels after hardening and tempering is some-
times assessed by an impact test and values for incorporation in specifica-
tions; if required, are given in the relevant tables of the schedule•
specification.
2.8 Any tests, for example, bend test, flattening tests on tube, etc,
additional to the tests given in this schedule should also be specified in the
standard as appropriate.

NEW SYSTEM OF DESIGNATION OF STEELS
A-I. GENERAL
A-I.I The new system of designation of steel is based on the draft ISO
proposal submitted by India to ISO/1~C 17 ' Steel' for formulation of an
international standard. Details of the new designation system are given
in IS: 1762 (Part 1)-1974•.
A..2. STEELS DESIGNATED ON THE BASIS OF CHEMICAL
COMPOSITION
A-2.1 Unalloyed Steels (as Defined in IS: 7598-197ft ) - The code
designation shall consist of the following in the order given:
a) Figure indicating 100 times the average percentage of carbon
content,
b) Letter' C', and
c) Figure indicating 10 times the average percentage of manganese
content. The figure after multiplying shall be rounded otT to the
nearest integer according to the rules given in IS : 2-1960j.
d) If necessary, symbols indicating special characteristics as follows:
1) Method of designation - Depending on whether the steel is
killed, semi-killed or rimming variety, the following sy mbols
shall be used to indicate the steel making practice:
i) R -= rimming steel, and
ii) K = killed steel.
NOTE - Ifno symbol is used, it shall mean that the steel is of semi-killed type.
2) Steel quality - The following symbols shall be used to indicate
steel quality:
Ql = non-ageing quality,
Q2 === freedom from flakes,
Q3 == grain size controlled,
Q4 = inclusion controlled, and
Q5 = internal homogeneity guaranteed.
