Foreword
Development of the East African Standards has been necessitated by the need for harmonizing
requirements governing quality of products and services in East Africa. It is envisaged that through
harmonized standardization, trade barriers which are encountered when goods and services are
exchanged within the Community will be removed.

In order to achieve this objective, the Partner States in the Community through their National Bureaux
of Standards, have established an East African Standards Committee.
The Committee is composed of representatives of the National Standards Bodies in Partner States,
together with the representatives from the private sectors and consumer organizations. Draft East
African Standards are circulated to stakeholders through the National Standards Bodies in the Partner
States. The comments received are discussed and incorporated before finalization of standards, in
accordance with the procedures of the Community.

W
East African Standards are subject to review, to keep pace with technological advances. Users of the

IE
East African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always have the latest versions of
the standards they are implementing.

EAST AFRICAN STANDARD EAS 415:2005

Hot-rolled steel sheet of high yield stress structural quality

1 Scope
1.1 This East African Standard applies to hot-rolled steel sheet of high yield stress structural
quality in the grades and classes listed in Tables 1 and 2, with the use of microalloying elements. The
product is intended for structural purposes where particular mechanical properties are required. It is
generally used in the delivered condition and is intended for bolted, riveted or welded structures.

Because of the combination of higher strength and microalloy composition, it is possible to obtain
savings in mass along with better formability and weldability as compared with steel sheet without
microalloying elements. The product is produced on a wide strip mill, not a plate mill.

W
1.2 This product is commonly produced in thicknesses from 1.6 mm to 6 mm and widths of 600

IE
mm and over, in coils and cut lengths.

EV
1.3 Hot-rolled sheet less than 600 mm wide may be slit from wide sheet and considered as sheet.

R
NOTE Hot-rolled sheet up to but not including 3 mm in thickness is commonly known as “sheet”. Hot-rolled sheet 3 mm and
over in thickness is commonly known as either “sheet” or “plate”.

IC
1.4 This East African Standard does not cover steel intended for boilers or pressure vessels,
steels designated as commercial quality or drawing qualities (ISO 3573, Hot-rolled carbon steel sheet
BL
of commercial and drawing qualities), steels to be rerolled to cold-reducing products, steels
designated as weathering steels, having increased atmospheric corrosion resistance or steels having
PU

improved formability properties compared with those in this document.

2 Normative reference
R

The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute
FO

provisions of this East African Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or
revisions of, this publication do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this East African
Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the
D

normative document indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative
AR

3 Terms and definitions

ST

For the purposes of this East African Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
microalloying elements
elements, such as niobium, vanadium, titanium, etc., added singly or in combination to obtain higher
strength levels combined with better formability, weldability and toughness as compared to non-
alloyed steel produced to equivalent strength levels

3.2
hot-rolled steel sheet
product obtained by rolling heated steel through a continuous-type or reversing-type wide strip mill to
the required sheet thickness the product having a surface covered with oxide or scale resulting from
the hot rolling operation

© EAC 2005 — All rights reserved 1

EAS 415:2005

3.3
hot-rolled descaled steel sheet
hot-rolled steel sheet from which oxide or scale has been removed, commonly by pickling in an acid
solution

NOTE Descaling may also be performed by mechanical means such as grit blasting. Some changes in properties may result
from descaling.

3.4
edges

3.4.1
mill edge
normal edge without any definite contour produced in hot rolling

NOTE Mill edges may contain some irregularities such as cracked or torn edges or thin (feathered) edges.

W
3.4.2

IE
sheared edge
normal edge obtained by shearing, slitting or trimming a mill edge product

EV
NOTE Normal processing does not necessarily provide a definite positioning of the slitting burr.

R
3.5
aluminum killed

IC
steel which has been deoxidized with aluminum sufficient to prevent the evolution of gas during
solidification BL
4 Conditions of manufacture
PU

4.1 Steelmaking
R

Unless otherwise agreed by the interested parties, the processes used in making the steel and in
manufacturing hot-rolled sheet are left to the discretion of the manufacturer. On request, the
FO

purchaser shall be informed of the steelmaking process being used.

4.2 Chemical composition

D
AR

The chemical composition (heat analysis) shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1.

4.3 Chemical analysis

D
AN

4.3.1 Heat analysis

An analysis of each heat of steel shall be made by the manufacturer in order to determine compliance
ST

with the requirements given in Table 1. When requested, at the time of ordering, this analysis shall be
reported to the purchaser or to his representative.

4.3.2 Product analysis

A product analysis may be made by the purchaser in order to verify the specified analysis of the
product and shall take into consideration any normal heterogeneity. Non-killed steels (such as rimmed
or capped) are not technologically suited to product analysis. For aluminum killed steels, the sampling
method and deviation limits shall be agreed upon between the interested parties at the time of
ordering.

NOTE 1 Nitrogen content is controlled; normally it should not exceed 0.009 % for NE steel or 0.015 % for CS steel.

W
NOTE 2 Each grade includes at least one microalloying element such as vanadium, titanium, niobium, etc.
a
Class C steels are to be used in cases where, owing to conditions and the general design of the structure, some

IE
resistance to brittle fracture is necessary. Class D steels are to be used in cases where,owing to loading conditions and the
general design of the structure, a high resistance to brittle fracture is necessary.

EV
b
NE = non-rimming; CS = aluminum killed.

R
4.4 Weldability

IC
The product is suitable for welding if appropriate welding conditions are selected. For undescaled
steel it may be necessary to remove the scale or oxide depending upon the welding method. As the
BL
carbon content increases above 0.15 %, spot welding becomes increasingly difficult.
PU

4.5 Application

It is desirable that the specified product be identified for fabrication by the name of the part or by the
intended application, which shall be compatible with the grade and class specified. Proper
R

identification of the part may include visual examination, prints or description, or a combination of
FO

these.

4.6 Mechanical properties

D

At the time that the steel is made available for shipment, the mechanical properties shall be as stated
AR

in Table 2, if they are determined on test pieces obtained in accordance with the requirements of
clause 7.
D

4.7 Surface condition

AN

Oxide or scale on hot-rolled steel sheet is subject to variations in thickness, adherence and colour.
ST

Removal of the oxide or scale by pickling or blast cleaning may disclose surface imperfections not
readily visible prior to this operation.

4.8 Oiling

As a deterrent to rusting, a coating of oil is usually applied to hot-rolled descaled steel sheet but sheet
may be furnished not oiled, if required. The oil is not intended as a drawing or forming lubricant and
should be easily removable with degreasing chemicals. On request, the manufacturer shall advise the
purchaser which type of oil has been used. Hot rolled descaled steel sheet may be ordered unoiled, if
required, in which case, the supplier has limited responsibility if oxidation occurs.

or removing imperfect portions as can be carried out on the cut length product.
D
AN

11 Inspection and acceptance

11.1 While not usually required for products covered by this International Standard, when the
ST

purchaser specifies that inspection and tests for acceptance be observed prior to shipment from the
manufacturer's works, the manufacturer shall afford the purchaser's inspector all reasonable facilities
to determine that the steel is being furnished in accordance with this International Standard.

11.2 Steel that is reported to be defective after arrival at the user's works shall be set aside,
properly and correctly identified and adequately protected. The manufacturer shall be notified in order
that he may properly investigate.
