TSUCHIURA ENGINEERING STANDARDS
Heat-treated equivalent steels

1. Scope
This standard specifies the following points on heat-treated equivalent steels such as quenched
and tempered equivalent steels Note 1), and normalized equivalent steels Note 2).
P P

a) Category
b) Chemical compositions and mechanical properties
c) Designation of the material on drawings
d) Designation of hardness
e) Precautions for using heat-treated equivalent steels not specified in this standard.
f) Action to be taken when using old drawing

Note 1) Quenched and tempered equivalent steels are special steels having hardness and
mechanical properties corresponding and/or nearly equal to general steels and/or parts
which are normally quenched and tempered. Quenched and tempered equivalent steels
for machining are produced by controlling the rolling conditions in steel manufacturing
process. Quenched and tempered equivalent steels for forging (the impact values are
slightly lower than general steels) are produced by controlling the heating and cooling
conditions in forging.
Note 2) Normalized equivalent steels are special steels which are produced by controlling the
rolling conditions in steel manufacturing process so that the uniform microstructure and
hardness are guaranteed to be equal to those of normally normalized steels. (Forged
parts to which “forging normalization” is conducted using residual forging heat are
excluded.)

2. Kinds of Heat-Treated Equivalent Steels

Refer to Table 1 for Heat-Treated Equivalent Steels specified in this standard.

3. Chemical Compositions and Mechanical Properties

Refer to Table 1 for the chemical compositions and mechanical properties of Heat-Treated
Equivalent Steels specified in this standard.

Applicable Standards:
TES 101-113 (18) Designation of hardness for heat treatment parts

301 – 113(4) (1/4)

4. Designation of material on drawing
As shown in Fig.1, enter the corresponding material symbol in the material column and enter the
drawing No. of the material specifications.

Refer to 9922713 for the details.

S45VC-M
Material
Fig 1
When using a kind of steel that has no material symbol specified in Tsuchiura Works, enter the
material symbol specified by the steel manufacturer.

5. Designation of hardness
a) In principle, it is not necessary to designate the hardness of a quenched and tempered
equivalent steel for machining and/or a normalized equivalent steel on a drawing. However,
designate the hardness conforming to Table 1 if needed.
b) When using a quenched and tempered equivalent steels for forging, designate the hardness
of forged part on the drawing with the hardness value applied to S45C as specified in TES
101-113 for those which toughness is prior to hardness. However, it is required to designate
the corresponding hardness after getting agreement with the forging section and the steel
manufacturer through coordination,

6. Precautions for employing the quenched and tempered equivalent steels not included in this
standard
a) The Design Dept. must have coordination with the personnel in charge of material in the
Production Engineering Dept beforehand when employing the Quenched and Tempered
Equivalent Steels not included in this standard.
b) When the specified hardness range or hardness variation of gear material is deemed to affect
the machining tool life, the Design Dept. must have coordination with the personnel in charge
of the machining planning.

7. Action to be taken when using old drawing Note 3)

P

The Design Dept. must use the old drawing after revising it each time when opportunity arises
Note 4)
P

Note 3):
The drawing for a part made of the quenched and tempered equivalent steel specified in this
standard but designated with a different material symbol or material description from those
specified in this standard.
Note 4):
The Design Dept must revise the corresponding drawing when requested from the Production
shops (including the material procurement shop) to change the description.
