Its recorded composition includes C 0.43–0.48%, Si 0.1–0.3%, P ≤ 0.025%, Cr 0.9–1.2% and Mn 0.6–0.9%. We list 2 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards ASTM and JIS. - *Designations* **3** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=a87ebd7a-8054-431b-9254-fa6b7ddf2702&designation=3c841f16-870c-47cc-8dc7-6a7585dbb118 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/astm/5145.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## If you came for one of these The most-used names for this grade. - [GB ML45Cr This grade’s own name](/materials/gb/ml45cr "GB ML45Cr") ## Also known as 3 designations · 3 standards · nothing hidden This grade’s own name recorded in our sources as this grade’s own designation under that standard. Indicative taken from a published cross-reference table; a close match, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify against the mill certificate before ordering. Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

Elements not listed have no value on file — they are omitted, never inferred. ## Predicted transformation temperatures Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Ni, Mo. ## Physical & mechanical properties An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
