IS 4432: 1988 covers Case Hardening Steels. This Indian Standard specifies the technical delivery requirements for case-hardening wrought low carbon alloyed &amp; unalloyed steel bars, rods, billets, and finished forgings. Generally, the steels are intended for forgings &amp; the fabrication of case-hardened machines\/automobile parts. Case hardening refers to parts that have been carbonitrided or carburized on their surface and then hardened to manufacture a high degree of hardness in the surface zone. At the same time, the core material is relatively tough. The general requirements for material supply will conform to IS 1387: 1967. The material needs to be free from the surface and internal flaws that could impair the steel&#8217;s enforceability or harm the parts&#8217; mechanical properties. The recommended temperature for hot working &amp; heat treatments aimed at controlling hardness, shearability, machinability, and other properties is specified in the standard.
