Values apply to test bars taken from rounds along the direction of rolling. Izod impact values are for fine grained steels. Mechanical properties for steels having a minimum tensile strength of 1340 MPa and above are given for information only; the delivery condition on the basis of chemical composition and hardenability shall apply in such cases.
