070Mxx Normalised Carbon Steel To BS 970 Pt1 - 1972,1983

This document provides information on 070M20 normalised carbon steel according to British Standard BS 970-1:1972,1983. It is an unalloyed wrought steel with a carbon content between 0.16-0.24% and includes manganese between 0.5-0.9%. Mechanical properties listed include an ultimate tensile strength of 62.4 ksi, yield strength of 31.2 ksi and elongation of 21%. The steel is normally heat treated by normalizing at temperatures between 880-910 degrees C and is available in forms such as bar, forgings and wrought.
