Specifies the requirements for carbon steel and carbon-manganese steel rods, bars, blooms, billets and slabs, delivered in the as-rolled or normalized condition, for forging and for general engineering purposes.

This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint Standards/Standards New Zealand Committee MT-001, Iron and Steel to supersede AS 1442—1992, Carbon steels and carbon-manganese steels—Hot rolled bars and semi-finished products.

After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian, rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.

It specifies chemical composition requirements for all grades, and tensile strength requirements for grades required to meet mechanical properties. The Standard permits the addition of boron and micro-alloying elements for the achievement of special properties.
