FOREWORD This Indian Standard (Sixth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the drafl 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 and 1999. 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 industry and overseas standards of structural steels. In this revision the following changes have been made: a) Title of this standard has been modified. b) Amendments No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been incorporated. c) A new clause on references has been incorporated. d) Number of grades have been increased to nine. e) International grades designation system based on yield stress has been adopted, simultaneously old designations have also been given in parentheses. Q Provision of normalizing rolling/controlled cooling have been incorporated. g) Requirements of IS 1977 and IS 8500 have been incorporated. The revised standard shall supersede the following standards: a) IS 1977: 1996 Low tensile structural steels b) IS 8500:1991 Structural steel Microalloyed (medium and high strength qualities)

To keep the pace of technical upgradation in the steel industry, the Committee agreed to reduce the sulphur and phosphorus content, during the next revision. For all the tests specified in this standard (chemical/physical/others), 1S0 Standard may also be followed as an alternate method. the method as specified in relevant

While revising the standard assistance has been derived fkom 1S0 630: 1995 Structural steels Plates, wide flats, bars, sections tid profiles. The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex A. For the purpose ~f 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 sho-uldbe the same as that of the specified value in this standard. ,,

1731:1971

1732:1989

IS 2062:2006 to weight ratio combined with better toughness, formability and weldability as compared to unalloyed steel of similar strength level. 3.2 Weldability A metallic substance is considered to be weldable by a given process and for the given purpose, when metallic continuity to a stated degree can be obtained by welding using a suitable procedure, so that the joints comply with the requirements specified in regard to both their local properties and their influence on the construction of which they form a part. 3.3 Controlled -Rolling A hot rolling process in which the temperature of the steel and its reduction ratio are controlled, particularly during the final rolling passes, in order to achieve fine grain micro structure and optimum mechanical properties. 3.4 Normalizing Rolling A hot rolling process in which the final rolling passes are carried out at a suitable higher temperature, followed by cooling in natural air to a temperature below the transformation temperature, in order to produce a structure, analogous to that obtained by a separate normalizing treatment of hot rolled product. 4 SUPPLY OF MATERIAL General requirements relating a supply of structural steel shall conform to IS 8910. 5 GRADES There shall be nine grades of steel as given in Tables 1 and 2. While placing the order the steeI should be designated by Designation (see Tables 1 and 2). 6 MANUFACTUR-E The processes used in the steel making and fi.u-ther hot rolling into steel plates, strips, sections, flats, bars, etc, are left to the discretion of the manufacturer/ supplier. If required, secondary refining may follow steel making, as also normalizing rolling/controlled rolling during manufacturing of sections or as the agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer/supplier. 7 FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS 7.1 All finished steel shall be well and cleanly rolled to the dimensions, sections and masses specified. The finished material shaIl be reasonably free from surface flaws; laminations; rough/jagged and imperfect edges and all other harmful defects. 7.2 Minor surface defects may be removed by the manufacturer/supplier by grinding provided the thickness is not reduced locally by more than 4 percent below the minimum specified thickness. Reduction in thickness by grinding greater than 4 percent but not 2 exceeding 7 percent may be made subject to mutual agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer/ supplier. 7.2.1 Subject to agreement with the purchaser, surface defects which cannot be dealt with as in 7.2 may be repaired by chipping or grinding followed by welding and inspection by a mutually agreed procedure such that: a) After complete removal of the defects and before welding, the thickness of the item is in no place reduced by more than 20 percen~ b) Welding is carried out by approved procedure by competent operators with approved electrodes and that the welding is ground smooth to the correct nominal thickness; and c) Subsequent to the finish grinding, the item may be required to be normalized or otherwise heat-treated at the purchasers discretion. 7.3 Welding as mentioned in 7.2.1 is not permissible for grade designation E 250 C material. 8 CHEMICAL COMPOSITION 8.1 Ladle Analysis The ladle analysis of the steel, when carried out by the method specified in the relevant parts of IS 228 or any other established instrumental/chemical method, shall be as given in Table 1. In case of dispute, the procedure given in IS 228 and its relevant parts shall be the referee method and where test methods are not specified shall be as agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer/supplier. 8.2 Product Analysis The product analysis shall be carried out on the finished product from the standard position. Permissible limits of variation in case of product analysis from the limits specitled in Table 1 shall be as given in Table 3. 9 SELECTION AND PREPARATION SAMPLES OF TEST

9.1 The position from which test samples are taken shall be so located in the product as to yield the clearest possible information regarding properties in the crosssectional and longitudinal planes. The recommended locations for taking test samples for plates, sections and bars are indicated in Fig. 1. Alternatively, in case of sections, the samples may be taken horn the web. For testing of flat products like plates tensile and bend test pieces may be cut in the transverse direction. Selection of location of test pieces may also be mutually agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturerlsupplier.

testing. Any slight straightening of test samples which may be required shall be done cold. 10 TENSILE TEST 10.1 Number of Tensile Tests Number of test samples shall be 2 per cast/heat and a class of steel product irrespective of cast/heat size, 10.2 Tensile Test Pieces The tensile strength, yield strength and percentage elongation of steel-shall be determined from standard test pieces cut crosswise from plates and strips and lengthwise from sections, flats and bars. The test shall be carried out as on the standard test pieces prepared in accordance with IS 1608. 10.2.1 As a rule, test pieces with a proportional gauge length complying with the requirements LO=5.65 4S0 should be used for the tensile test, where LO the gauge is length and SOis the cross-sectional area of the test piece. 10.2.1.1 Test pieces with a non-proportional gauge length, other than 5.65 4S0maybe used in which case the elongation values shall be converted to 5.65 4S0in accordance with IS 3803 (Part 1). 10.3 Tensile Test Tensile strength, yield strength and percentage elongaticm when determined in accordance with IS 1608 shall be as given in Table 2. 10.3.1 In case of sections the &ickness of which is not uniform throughout the profile, the limits of sizes. given in Table 2 shall be applied according to -the actual maximum thickhess of the piece adopted for testing. 10.3.2 Should a tensile test piece break outside the middle half of the gauge length (see -IS 1608) and the percentage elongation obtained is less than that specified, the test may be discarded at the manufacturer/suppliers option and another test made from the sample plate, strip, section, flat or bar. 11 BEND TEST
11.1 Number of Bend Test

11.2 Bend Test Piece

The test pieces shall be cut crosswise from plates and strips and lengthwise from sections, flats and bars. When section permits, these shall be not less than 40 mm wide. If the manufacturer/supplier so desires, round, square, hexagonal and -flat bars and structural sections shall be bent in the fill section as rolled. 11.2.1 In all bend test pieces, the rough edge-arises resulting from shearing may be removed by filing or grinding or machining but the test pieces shall receive no other preparation. 11.3 Bend Test Bend test shall be conducted in accordance with IS 1599.
11.3.1 For bendtest, the test piece at room temperature shall withstand bending through 180 to an internal diameter not greater than that given in Table 2 without cracking.

12 IMPACT TEST
12.1 Impact test shall normally be carried out on products having thicknesskliameter greater than -or equal to 12 mm or subject to mutual agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer/supplier. The test specimen is parallel to the direction of rolling and the base closer to the rolled surface is more than 1 mm from it. The notch axis shall be perpendicular to the rolled surface.

12.1.1 If stated in the order, impact tests may be carried out on products having a thickness less than 12 mm, the dimensions of the test pieces shall be in conformity with IS 1757. The minimum impact energy values of reduced sizes shall be as shown in -Fig. 2. 12.2 Thk testis carried out using a V-notch test piece (see IS 1757) the value for consideration being the arithmetic mean of the results obtained on three test pieces taken side by side tlom the same product (see Table 2). Temperature of Charpy impact test will be subject to mutual agre~ment. 12.3 The test sample-shall be taken from the tlickest product. If the test sample taken from tie thickest product rolled from a cast meets the requirements, the whole cast shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the test, if not, the test shall be performed on a section of next lower thickness rolled from same cast, if it meets the requirements-specified, this particular thickness as also other sections of lower thickness shall be deemed to satisfythe specification. If this thickness also does not meet the requirements, the test shall be carried out on the next lower thickness and so on, because the toughness of the product will be dependent on the rolling direction as well as on the section size, 6
