0 introduction of IS2062 E250 grade A,B&C :-

IS 2062 is India standard covers the requirements of steel including micro-alloyed steel plates, strips,
shapes and section. this steel can be supplied in killed or semi killed condition and steel may ingot cast
or continuous casting

This standard has formerly known as IS226,now IS2062 has replaced this specification this grade steel is
for structural purposes . This grade is also commonly known as IS2062 GR E250(Fe-410-W).

This steel is subdivided into three types, i.e. grade A,B and C .
