ASTM · United States · 14 grades # A268 The designation A268 is carried by 14 different grades. Compare them on the elements that actually differ, then open the one your print means. - *Matching grades* **14** - [*Category* **Stainless steels · 468 grades**](/categories/stainless-steels "Category: Stainless steels · 468 grades") - [*Category* **Others · 1754 grades**](/categories/others "Category: Others · 1754 grades") - [*Category* **Heat resistant steels · 64 grades**](/categories/heat-resistant-steels "Category: Heat resistant steels · 64 grades") [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry "Inquiry") ## Which of the 14 do you want? This name is carried by several grades. The elements shown are the ones whose values actually differ across the set — the ones that decide the question. Values are the source text verbatim; an em dash means no value on file for that element on that grade, not zero. | Grade | Material no. | Category | Designations | C% | Cr% | P% | S% | Ni% | N% | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [1.4001](/materials/material-no/1.4001 "1.4001") | [1.4001](/materials/material-no/1.4001 "1.4001") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 29 | ≤0,08 | 13,0-15,0 | 0,045 | 0,03 | — | — | | [X6CrAl13](/materials/din-en/x6cral13 "X6CrAl13") | [1.4002](/materials/material-no/1.4002 "1.4002") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 28 | ≤0,08 | 12,0-14,0 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | — | | [1.4006](/materials/material-no/1.4006 "1.4006") | [1.4006](/materials/material-no/1.4006 "1.4006") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 145 | 0,08-0,15 | 11,5-13,5 | 0,04 | 0,015 | 0,75 | — | | [GX12Cr12](/materials/din-en/gx12cr12 "GX12Cr12") | [1.4011](/materials/material-no/1.4011 "1.4011") 1.4 | [Others](/categories/others "Others") | 38 | ≤0,15 | 11,5-13,5 | 0,035 | 0,025 | 1 | — | | [X10Cr15](/materials/din-en/x10cr15 "X10Cr15") | [1.4012](/materials/material-no/1.4012 "1.4012") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 16 | ≤0,12 | 14,0-16,0 | 0,04 | 0,03 | — | — | | [1.4016](/materials/material-no/1.4016 "1.4016") | [1.4016](/materials/material-no/1.4016 "1.4016") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 68 | ≤0,08 | 16,0-18,0 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | — | | [X15Cr13](/materials/din-en/x15cr13 "X15Cr13") | [1.4024](/materials/material-no/1.4024 "1.4024") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 64 | 0,12-0,17 | 12,0-14,0 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | — | | [X3CrTi17](/materials/din-en/x3crti17 "X3CrTi17") | [1.4510](/materials/material-no/1.4510 "1.4510") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 42 | ≤0,05 | 16,0-18,0 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | — | | [X2CrTi12](/materials/din-en/x2crti12 "X2CrTi12") | [1.4512](/materials/material-no/1.4512 "1.4512") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 27 | ≤0,03 | 10,5-12,5 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | — | | [1.4521](/materials/material-no/1.4521 "1.4521") | [1.4521](/materials/material-no/1.4521 "1.4521") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 33 | ≤0,025 | 17,0-20,0 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | 0,03 | | [X1CrNiMoNb28-4-2](/materials/din-en/x1crnimonb28-4-2 "X1CrNiMoNb28-4-2") | [1.4575](/materials/material-no/1.4575 "1.4575") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 9 | ≤0,015 | 26,0-30,0 | 0,025 | 0,015 | 3,00-4,50 | 0,035 | | [X2CrTi12](/materials/din-en/x2crti12 "X2CrTi12") | [1.4720](/materials/material-no/1.4720 "1.4720") 1.4 | [Heat resistant steels](/categories/heat-resistant-steels "Heat resistant steels") | 12 | ≤0,08 | 10,5-12,5 | 0,04 | 0,03 | — | — | | [X15CrN26](/materials/din-en/x15crn26 "X15CrN26") | [1.4749](/materials/material-no/1.4749 "1.4749") 1.4 | [Heat resistant steels](/categories/heat-resistant-steels "Heat resistant steels") | 25 | 0,15-0,20 | 26,0-29,0 | 0,04 | 0,015 | — | 0,15-0,25 | | [X 2 CrMoNi 27-4-2](/materials/din-en/x2crmoni27-4-2 "X 2 CrMoNi 27-4-2") | [1.4750](/materials/material-no/1.4750 "1.4750") 1.4 | [Others](/categories/others "Others") | 8 | ≤0,03 | 25,0-28,0 | 0,04 | 0,3 | 1,00-3,50 | 0,04 | ## Not sure which one your print means?
