‘10.2 Ductility

This test can be carried out by one of two methods described below.

10.2.1 The ductility shall be as high as practicable, when the application requires forming around a sharp
radius during fabrication, an evaluation of the ductility is required. The ductility rating shall be determined
in accordance with the test method described in IS 649. Ductility in following classes is typical for grain-
oriented material in any thickness and surface type when tested at the room temperature with a bend
transverse to the rolling direction with following sheared specimens:

Ductility Class Permissible Number of Fractures on

Steel Base at Bend (see Note)
1 1 total length not over 8 mm
2 2 total length not over 15 mm
3 ≥3

NOTE — Based on 610 to 910 mm width of material. For widths less than 610 mm the number of permissible fractures should
be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the width to 610 mm.

10.2.2 This alternate ductility test method is as described in IS 649 (Section 8, clauses 49 and 50).

The minimum number of bends is one. The value applies to the parallel to the direction of rolling.’

(Page 5, clause 11.2) — Insert the following at the end:

‘ , for widths up to and including 1 000 mm. For materials supplied with as rolled edges and/or widths
above 1 000 mm the tolerances on nominal width should be the subject of agreement while ordering.’

- Width 500 mm + 0 / – 5 mm.

All the test specimens shall be cut parallel to the direction of rolling. The permitted tolerance for the angle
between the direction of rolling and the direction of cutting is ±1 degree.
