NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) which is identical with ISO 11949:1995 ‘Cold-reduced electrolytic
tinplate’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau
of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee and
approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This Indian Standard was originally published in 1962 and subsequently revised in 1974, 1982 and
1993. This revision of the standard has been taken up to align it with ISO 11949:1995 by adoption
under dual numbering system.

With the publication of this revision, following Indian Standards will be superseded:

ISO 4977-1:1984

Is 13955:1994 Double cold-reduced electrolytic tinplate coil for subsequent cutting into
ISO 4977-2:1988 sheets

ISO has cancelled 1S0”111 1-1:1993, ISO 1111-2:1993, ISO 4977-1:1984 and ISO 4977-2:1988 and
replaces with ISO 11949:1995.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable hr publication as an Indian .Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, they should be
as read as ‘Indian Standard’

b) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, thecurrent practice
is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their places are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

NOTE 2 When ordering double cold-reduced tinplate, the
purpose of manufacture for which the material is intended
should be stated. It should be noted that double cold-
reduced tinplate is relatively less ductile than single cold-
reduced tinplate and has very distinct directional properties,
so for some uses, for example for built-up can bodies, the
direction of rolling should be stated. When double cold-
reduced tinplate is used for built-up can bodies, the direc-
tion of rolling should be around the circumference of the
can so as to minimize the hazard of flange cracking.

Add 2 g of aluminium metal foil (A.2.9). Insert the
rubber bung fitted with a small bebig condenser, a
carbon fiioxide entry tube and a rubber-sealed burette
entry tube (see figure A. 1). Connect the apparatus to
the appropriate supply points and pass carbon dioxide
gas (A.2.1 O) through for 5 min to displace the air
within the flask. Heat carefully until boiling starts,
avoiding vigorous evolution of hydrogen. Continue
boiling for 5 min to 10 min after dissolution of the
aluminium metal. Cool quickly to less than 20”°C,
maintaining an adequate supply of carbon dioxide.

Remove the burette entry tube seal, add 5 ml of

formula (e.g. Bower) agreed between the pre
ducer and purchaser.

B.3 Test method
Make one test on each of the test pieces obtained in
accordance with B.2 (i.e. two tests per sheet
selected). Carry out the test using the Springback
Temper Tester model G.671).
In making the test, strictly obsewe the operational
instructions provided with the Springback Temper
Tester. The principal steps in the test are:
NOTE 21 Calibrate each new Springback Temper Tester
using the standard tensile test (see 14.3) or another
“reference” Spritigback Temper Tester. In addition, since
malfunctions arising, for example from excessive wear or
inadvertent abuse of the test equipment, may not be readily
apparent, it is recommended that the Springback Temper
Test readings should be regularly compared with readings
from the standard tensile test or a “reference” Springback
Temper Tester. It is also recommended that such direct
crosschecks be further supplemented by the frequent use
of reference samples of known proof stress.

marking system for differentiallycoatedtin~ate

The marking system consists of parallel straight lines up to 1 mm wide, the distance between the lines indicating
the coating masses.

The following spacings should be used:

Designation tine spacing

D 5,6/2,8 12,5 mm
D 8,4/2,8 25 mm
D 8,4/5,6 25 mm alternating with 12,5 mm

D 11 ,2/2,8 37,5 mm
D 11,2/5,6 37,5 mm alternating with 12,5 mm

An illustration of the marking system is given in figure C.1.
