IS 5517 : 1993 Steels for Hardening and Tempering - Specification

1 Scope

1.1 This standard covers the technical and delivery requirementsfor wrought alloyed and unalloyd steels in the form of bars, rods,flats, plates, forgings, etc, to be used in the hardened andtempered condition.

1.2 The steels covered by this standard are in general intendedfor forgings and machining of parts for engineering or automobilepurposes.
