FOREWORD This standard is one of a series of standards being issued for implementation of BIS Steel Economy Programme. These steel are specific class of steel in which enhanced mechanical properties are obtained by the incorporation of low proportions of one or more alloying elements. These steels are generally intended for applications where saving in mass may be effected by reason of their greater yield strengths. The manufacturer appropriate. This standard -made: is allowed full freedom published in the selection of alloying elements he considers

Structural Steel ( Medium has been changed to Microalloyed and High Strength Quality ) from Weldable Structural Steel ( Medium and High Strength Quality ). b) Steel Grade Fe 640HT has been deleted. cl Lower maximum limits for sulphur and phosphorous for flat product have been envisaged. IS 961 : 1975 would 4 Provisions of IS 961 : 1975 are being incorporated in this standard. be withdrawn subsequently.

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.

7.2 Product Analysis The product analysis shall be carried out on the finished product from the standard position. Permissible variation in case of such product analysis from the limits specified in Table 1 shall be as follows: Constituent Carbon Manganese Sulphur Phosphoraus Silicon 7.2.1 Retest for Product Analysis If the results of the check analysis do not conform to the composition requirements given in Table 1 and Steel Grade with allowance of variation in case of check analysis from the 3 Variation, Over Specified Maximum Limit, Percent o-02 0.05 0.005 0.005 0.03

specified limits, unless otherwise agreed to between purchaser and manufacturer, two samples shall be taken on di.cerent pieces from same cast. Should the two analysis satisfy the requirement, the lot represented shall be accepted, should either of the samples faiI, material shall be taken are not complymg with this standard. 8 SELECTION AND PREPARATION TEST SAMPLES OF

8.1 The positions from which test samples are taken shall be so located in the product as to yield the clearest possible information regarding properties in the rolling and transverse to rolling direction. 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 from the web. 8.2 Wherever practical, the rolled surface of the steel shall be retained on the two opposite sides of the test samples.

IS 8500 : 1991

8.3 In case of Hat test samples for tensile test, both surfaces are normally to be left on the test samples for plates up to 32 mm thick. At least one rolled surface shall be left on rectangular test samples taken from plates exceeding 32 mm in thickness. Round test samples are permitted, but should only be adopted for thickness exceeding 27 mm. 8.4 In case of flats up to 16 mm thick, the test sample shall undergo, if possible, no machining whatsoever, prior to use as a test piece. Tf this is not possible, the test samples shall undergo the minimum amount of machining. 8.5 Bars below 28 mm may be tested without machining. In case of bars having diameters or thickness between 28 mm and 71 mm, the bars may be symmetricaIly reduced by machining. For bars having diameters or thickness exceeding 71 mm, the test sample may be taken from the position shown in Fig. 1. 8.6 In case of sections, flats, and pIates bend tests shall be carried out on rectangular .test samples which, as far as possible, should be of the full thickness of the product. In case of sections, flats and plates exceeding 28 mm in thickness, it is permissible to remove metal from one side of the test sample before using it as a test piece. The rolIed surface of the test piece shall be on the outer side of the bend during the test. 8.7 Before test samples are collected, full particulars regarding cast number, size and mass of plates, sections, flats and bars in each cast shall be furnished by the manufacturer to the purchaser. In case of plates, the number of plates in each cast shall also be given. 8.8 Test samples shall be cut in such a manner that the .deformation is avoided as far as possible, if shearing or flame-cutting is employed adequate allowance shall be left for removal by machining. 8.9 Test samples taken from rolled steel which have undergone deformation through bending or twisting shall in all cases be straightened cold. If the deformation is too severe to allow cold-straightening, it is permissible, in case of materials to be delivered in the annealed or normalized condition, to carry out straightening under the application of heat, provided the temperature does not exceed 65OC. When straightening test samples, care shall be taken to avoid any cold-working or temperature rise which will alter the properties of these samples as compared with the finished product which they represent.
4

8.10 Test samples shall not annealed

or otherwise subjected to heat treatment unless the material from which they are cut is similarly treated, in which-case the test samples shall be similarly and simultaneously treated with the material before testing. Any slight straightening of test samples which may be required shall be done cold. 9 TENSILE TEST
Tees, Beams, 9.1 Number of Tensile Test 9.1.1 Plates, Sections ( Angles, Channels, etc, and Flats )

One tensile test shall be made from finished steel for every 40 tonnes or part thereof rolled continuously from each cast, a separate test being made for each class of steel product ( namely, plates sections and flats ) rolled from a cast. 9.1.2 Where plates, sections or flats of more than one thickness are rolled from the same cast, one additional tensile test shall be made from the material in each class of product for each variation in thickness of 6 mm.
9.1.3 Bars ( Round, Square and Hexagonal )

One tensile test shall be made from finished product for each 40 tonnes or part thereof. If more than one diameter or thickness of the bar is processed, one additional tensile test shall be made for each variation of 3 mm above or below the diameter or thickness of the bar ordered. 9.2 Tensile Test Pieces The tensile strength, yield strength and percentage elongation of steel shall be determined from standard test-pieces cut rolling or transverse to rolling direction from plates and lengthwise from sections, flats and bars. The test shall be carried out on the standard test pieces prepared in accordance with IS 1608 ;
1972.

As a rule only proportional test pieces complying with the requirements L,=5*651/S% should be used for the tensile test, where L,, is the gauge length and So is the cross-sectional area of the test piece.
9.2.1 9.2.1.1

The gauge lengths other than 5*651/S. may also be used in which case the elongations shall be read from IS 3803 ( Part 1 ) : 1989.

9.3 Tensile Test

Tensile strength, yield strength and percentage elongation when determined in accordance with IS 1608 : 1972 shall be as given in Table 2.

11.3.1 A test sample shall be taken from each 40 tonnes or part thereof from the same cast. 11.4 If the average value of the three Charpy impact tests fails to comply by an amount not exceeding 15 percent of the specified minimum average value, three additional test pieces from the same sample shall be tested and the results added to those previously obtained and a new average calculated. Provided this new average complies with the specified requirement, the material represented shall be deemed to comply with this standard. 12 OTHER TESTS The material may be subjected to non-destructive testing to determine soundness of material subject to mutual agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 13 DIMENSIONS Unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer the nominal dimensions of rolled products conforming to this specification shall be in accordance with the relevant Indian Standards; currently available Indian Standards are listed in Table 3. 6

The test pieces shall be cut transverse to rolling direction from plates, and in rolling direction from sections, flats and bars. When sections permit, these shall be not less than 40 mm wide. If the manufacturer so desires, round, square, hexagonal and flat bars and structural sections shall be bent in the full section as-rolled. 10.2.1 In all bend test pieces, the rough edge or aris resulting from shearing may be removed by filling or grinding or machining but the test pieces shall receive no other preparation. 10.2.2 The test pieces shall not be annealed or otherwise subjected to heat treatments unless the material from which these are taken is similarly treated. In such cases, the test pieces shall be similarly treated in the same furnace with the material before testing. 10.3 Bend Test - Bend test shall be conducted in accordance with IS 1599 : 1985.

14 TOLERANCES Unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer the rolling and cutting tolerances for steel products conforming to this standard shall be those specified in IS 1852 : 1985. 15 RETEST Should any one of the test pieces first selected fail to pass any of the tests specified in this standard, two further samples shall be selected Should for testing in respect of each failure. the test pieces from both these additional samples pass, the material represented by the test sampIes shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of that particular test. ShouId the test .pieces from either of these additiona samples fail, the material represented by the test samples shall be considered as not having complied with this standard. 16 CALCULATION OF MASS The mass of steel pIates section, flats and bars shalI be calculated on the basis that stee1 weighs 7.85 g/cm3. 17 MARKING with the ~exception of 17.1 Each product, round, square and hexagonal bars and flats, shall carry a tag or be marked with the manufacturers name or trade-mark. Designation of steel should also be similarIy marked on the product or tag. 17.2 Every heav~y and medium structural mill product and each plate of thickness 10 mm and over shall be marked with the cast number. In case of plates below 10 mm thickness, the top plate of each pile ( which may consist of approximately 16 plates ) shah be marked with cast number and the remaining plates have suitable identification marking. 17.3 The materia1 may also be marked the Standard Mark.
