SCHEDULES FOR WROUGHTSTEELS
PART I STEELSSpECtFtED By TENSTLE AND/OR YIELD PROPERTIES

( First Revision )
O. FOREWORD
0.1 This Tndian Standard ( Part I ) ( Fir-stRevision ) was adopted by the -draft Indian Standards Institution on 20 November 1978, aftei the finalized by the Alloy Steels and Special SteelsSectional Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals Division Council. 0.2 Schcdules for wrought steels for general engineering purporo ( IS: 1570-1961 ) was first publishedin 1961. On the baiis of the e*perience gained in the production and use of steels, the Sectional Commiltee har decidcd to revise the standard and issue it rn parts. The other partr of, the rtandard are as follows:

Part II Part III

Part IV Part V Part VI

Carbon steels Carbon and carbon manganesefree cutting steels Alloy steels ( excluding stainlessand heatresisting steels) St:.inlessand heat-regirting steels* Tool steels

0.3 The following major modifications have been made in this revision: a) Steel designations have been modified in accordance witl IS: 1762 ( Part I )-1974t. FlDwever,for the sake of easy identification old designations are also given within brackets.
