Foreword

This translation has been made based on the original Japanese Industrial Standard
revised by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry through deliberations a t

of Japanese Industrial Standard submitted by the Japan Iron and Steel Federation
(JISF) with the draft being attached, based on the provision of Article 12 Clause 1
of the Industrial Standardization Law applicable to the case of revision by the provision
of Article 14.
Consequently JIS G 4051 :2005 is replaced with this Standard.

Carbon steels for machine structural use

Introduction
This Japanese Industrial Standard has been prepared based on the first editions
of I S 0 683-1 and I S 0 683-11 published in 1987 with some modifications of the tech-
nical contents.
The portions given sidelines are the matters modified from the original International
Standards. A list of modifications with the explanations is given in Annex J A (infor-
mative).

1 Scope
This Standard specifies carbon steels (hereafter referred t o as “steels”) for machine
structural use mainly manufactured by hot forming such as hot rolling and hot forg-
ing. Steels are generally used after further processes of forging, cutting and heat treat-
ment.
In addition, in the case of steel plates and steel strips, those cold reduced may be
included according t o the thickness as well as those hot rolled.
NOTE : The International Standards corresponding to this Standard and the sym-
bol of degree of correspondence are as follows.
IS0 683-1 : 1987 Heat-treatable steels, alloy steels and free-cutting steels-
Part 1: Direct-hardening unalloyed and low-alloyed wrought steel in form
of different black products
I S 0 683-1 1: 1987 Heat-treatable steels, alloy steels a n d free-cutting
steels-Part 11: Wrought case-hardening steels (Overall evaluation: MOD)
In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the
contents between the relevant International Standards and JIS are IDT
(identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according t o ISO/
IEC G u i d e 21.

3 Classification and symbol

The steel shall be classified into 23 grades and the respective symbols shall be as
given in table 1. Three grades, namely SOSCK, S15CK and S20CK, however, are used
for case-hardening purposes.

4 Manufacturing method
The manufacturing method shall be as follows.
a) The steel shall be manufactured from killed steel.
b) The steel shall be rolled o r forged from steel ingot with forging ratio of not less
than 4 s unless otherwise specified. The forging ratio of the billet for forging or
rolling may be less than 4S, provided that a prior agreement between the pur-
chaser and the manufacturer has been acquired.
c) Steels shall be as hot rolled or hot forged unless otherwise specified. For steel
plates and steel strips, if cold rolling is performed upon the agreement between
the purchaser and the manufacturer, they shall be generally annealed after roll-
ing.

5 Chemical composition
When steels are tested in accordance with 7.1,the heat analysis values shall be as
given in table 1. When the product analysis on steels is performed upon the agree-
ment between the purchaser and the manufacturer, steels are tested in accordance with
7.1 and allowable deviation on table 1 shall be as given in table 3 of JIS G 0321.

The marking on each steel shall be done with the following items by a suitable
method. The steel plates, steel sheets, steel strips, flat steels, and, in the case of steel
bars and wire rods, those having a diameter or width across flats under 30 mm, may
be bound up, and the marking may be made on each bundle by a suitable method. For
steel bars 30 mm or over in diameter or in width across flats, they may be bound up
and marked in a suitable way upon the agreement between the purchaser and the
manufacturer.
A part of following particulars may be omitted when agreed upon between the pur-
chaser and the manufacturer.
a) Symbol of grade. In the case of cold reduced steel sheets and strips, -C shall be
marked after the symbol of grade. However, -C may be omitted upon the agree-
ment between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
b) Heat No. or other manufacturing No.
c) Name of manufacturer or its abbreviation
d) Mass (in the case of steel plate, sheet and strip)
e) Dimensions The marking method of dimensions shall be in accordance with JIS
G 3141, JIS G 3191, JIS G 3192, JIS G 3193 and JIS G 3194. The expression
of dimension of wire rod shall be in accordance with the expression of dimension
of bar in coil of JIS G 3191.

10 Report
The report shall conform t o clause 13 in JIS G 0404. In the case where there is
no special specification at the time of order, the type of inspection document shall be
in accordance with 2.3 or 3.1.B of table 1 in JIS G 0415.
The report of 8 d) shall depend upon the agreement between the purchaser and the
manufacturer.
