IS 11169 (Part 1):2022 35C14BT Steel: Specifications & Listings
IS 11169 (Part 1):2022 35C14BT: Cold heading quality boron alloyed steel 35C14BT to IS 11169 (Part 1):2022 for quenching and tempering after cold heading or cold extrusion, supplied as wire rod, bars or wire of 2 to 100 mm. Maximum tensile strength cold drawn, annealed and skin passed is 680 MPa. It can be ordered with hardenability requirements (H).
Cold heading and cold extrusion of parts that are quenched and tempered; the standard covers bars, wire rods and wires of 2 to 100 mm (clause 1.1, Annex C)
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.

From the standard
Other composition limitsfrom the table notes and clauses
Values
Maximum unless a range is given (ladle analysis)
Silicon
Lower silicon contents may be agreed when ordering, with due regard to the effect on properties such as hardenability
Chromium
Where a maximum of 0.30 percent is specified, a minimum may also be agreed when ordering
Aluminium
0.020 to 0.050 percent may be added to improve cold heading
Ordered with hardenability
Small deviations from these limits are allowed (not for sulphur and phosphorus): up to 0.01 percent for carbon and the Table 1 values for other elements
Deoxidation
Aluminium killed (clause 6.2)
Elements not listed are not added intentionally without the purchaser's agreement, except those used to finish the heat.

Codes: +AR as hot rolled, +PE peeled, +C cold drawn, +AC annealed to spheroidized carbides, +LC skin passed. For non-circular sections the properties are agreed between manufacturer and purchaser. In the +AR condition the tensile values do not suit the whole composition range; take care that they match the hardenability needs. Table C.7 heads the last reduction of area column as maximum; shown here as minimum. Printed as 34C13BT in Tables C.7 and C.10; 35C14BT is the name in Table C.3, where 34C14BT is a different grade.
