Foreword
This translation has been made based on the original Japanese Indus-
trial Standard revised by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry
through deliberations at the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee
as the result of proposal for revision of Japanese Industrial Standard
submitted by The Japan Iron and Steel Federation (JISF)/Japanese
Standards Association (JSA) with the draft being attached, based on the
provision of Article 12 clause 1 of the Industrial Standardization Law ap-
plicable to the case of revision by the provision of Article 14. Conse-
quently JIS G 3105:1987 is replaced with this Standard.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some parts of this Standard
may conflict with a patent right, application for a patent after opening t o
the public, utility model right or application for registration of utility
model after opening to the public which have technical properties. The
relevant Minister and Japanese Industrial Standards Committee are not
responsible for identifying the patent right, application for a patent after
opening t o the public, utility model right or application for registration of
utility model after opening to the public which have the said technical
properties.

Date of Establishment: 1953-03-28

Date of Revision: 2004-12-20
Date of Public Notice in Official Gazette: 2004-12-20

6 Mechanical properties
6. 1 Tensile strength, elongation and contraction The steel bars shall be subjected t o
tests in accordance with 9.2, and their tensile strength, elongation, and contraction
shall conform to table 3 .
6.2 Bendability Steel bars shall be tested in accordance with 9.2 under test condi-
tions given in table 3, and cracks shall not be generated on its outside.
6.3 Charpy absorbed energy Steel bars shall be tested in accordance with 9.2 and
the charpy absorbed energy shall conform t o table 4. In this case, the charpy absorbed
energy shall be the average of three test pieces, which is judged in accordance with 9.6
in JIS G 0404.

a) Number of test pieces One tension test piece, one bending test piece and one set
of impact test pieces (three pieces) shall be sampled from the steel bar of the larg-
est diameter for each 50 t and its fraction of steel bars belonging to the same melt.
b) Method of sampling heat treatment specimens I n the case where the chains are to
be heat-treated after welding, the test pieces shall have the same cross section as
the base material, and be sampled from the test specimen which has been heat-
treated in advance by either of the methods given in table 3 as agreed on between
the parties concerned.
