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% | Ni% | Cr% | Mo% | Si% | Mn% | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [S44004](/materials/uns/s44004 "S44004") | [1.3544](/materials/material-no/1.3544 "1.3544") 1.3 | [Bearing steels](/categories/bearing-steels "Bearing steels") | 20 | 0,95-1,10 | 0,5 | 16,0-18,0 | 0,35-0,75 | ≤1,00 | ≤1,00 | | [X8CrMnNi18-8](/materials/din-en/x8crmnni18-8 "X8CrMnNi18-8") | [1.3965](/materials/material-no/1.3965 "1.3965") 1.3 | [Non-magnetic steels](/categories/non-magnetic-steels "Non-magnetic steels") | 24 | ≤0,10 | 4,50-6,50 | 17,0-19,0 | — | ≤1,00 | 7,50-9,50 | | [X110Cr17](/materials/din-en/x110cr17 "X110Cr17") | [1.4023](/materials/material-no/1.4023 "1.4023") 1.4 | [Others](/categories/others "Others") | 21 | 0,95-1,20 | 0,6 | 16,0-18,0 | ≤0,75 | ≤1,00 | ≤1,00 | | [X105CrMo17](/materials/din-en/x105crmo17 "X105CrMo17") | [1.4125](/materials/material-no/1.4125 "1.4125") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 50 | 0,95-1,20 | — | 16,0-18,0 | 0,40-0,80 | ≤1,00 | ≤1,00 | | [X 12 CrNi 18 8](/materials/din-en/x-12-crni-18-8 "X 12 CrNi 18 8") | [1.4300](/materials/material-no/1.4300 "1.4300") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 76 | ≤0,12 | 8,00-10,0 | 17,0-19,0 | — | ≤1,00 | ≤2,00 | | [X 5 CrNi 18 12](/materials/din-en/x-5-crni-18-12 "X 5 CrNi 18 12") | [1.4303](/materials/material-no/1.4303 "1.4303") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 84 | ≤0,06 | 11,0-13,0 | 17,0-19,0 | — | ≤1,00 | ≤2,00 | | [1.4310](/materials/material-no/1.4310 "1.4310") | [1.4310](/materials/material-no/1.4310 "1.4310") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 97 | 0,05-0,15 | 6,00-9,50 | 16,0-19,0 | ≤0,80 | ≤2,00 | ≤2,00 | | [S30100](/materials/uns/s30100 "S30100") | [1.4324](/materials/material-no/1.4324 "1.4324") 1.4 | [Special steels for aviation and aerospace](/categories/special-steels-for-aviation-and-aerospace "Special steels for aviation and aerospace") | 52 | ≤0,12 | 7,00-9,00 | 16,0-18,0 | — | ≤1,00 | ≤2,00 | | [X9CrNi18-9](/materials/din-en/x9crni18-9 "X9CrNi18-9") | [1.4325](/materials/material-no/1.4325 "1.4325") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 51 | 0,03-0,15 | 8,00-10,0 | 17,0-19,0 | — | ≤1,00 | ≤2,00 | | [X12CrNiSi18-9-3](/materials/din-en/x12crnisi18-9-3 "X12CrNiSi18-9-3") | [1.4326](/materials/material-no/1.4326 "1.4326") 1.4 | [Others](/categories/others "Others") | 11 | ≤0,15 | 8,00-10,0 | 17,0-19,0 | — | 2,00-3,00 | ≤2,00 | | [X12CrMnNiN17-7-5](/materials/din-en/x12crmnnin17-7-5 "X12CrMnNiN17-7-5") | [1.4372](/materials/material-no/1.4372 "1.4372") 1.4 | [Others](/categories/others "Others") | 27 | ≤0,15 | 3,50-5,50 | 16,0-18,0 | — | ≤1,00 | 5,50-7,50 | | [X12CrMnNiN18-9-5](/materials/din-en/x12crmnnin18-9-5 "X12CrMnNiN18-9-5") | [1.4373](/materials/material-no/1.4373 "1.4373") 1.4 | [Non-magnetic steels](/categories/non-magnetic-steels "Non-magnetic steels") | 31 | ≤0,15 | 4,00-6,00 | 17,0-19,0 | — | ≤1,00 | 7,50-10,5 | | [X 4 CrNiMoN 27 5 2](/materials/din-en/x-4-crnimon-27-5-2 "X 4 CrNiMoN 27 5 2") | [1.4460](/materials/material-no/1.4460 "1.4460") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels") | 47 | ≤0,05 | 4,50-6,50 | 25,0-28,0 | 1,30-2,00 | ≤1,00 | ≤2,00 | | [X6CrNiMo26-4-2](/materials/din-en/x6crnimo26-4-2 "X6CrNiMo26-4-2") | [1.4480](/materials/material-no/1.4480 "1.4480") 1.4 | [Stainless steels](/categories/stainless-steels "Stainless steels"), [Others](/categories/others "Others") | 13 | ≤0,08 | 2,50-5,00 | 23,0-28,0 | 1,00-2,00 | ≤0,75 | ≤1,00 | | [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 | 1,80-2,50 | ≤1,00 | ≤1,00 | | [1.4828](/materials/material-no/1.4828 "1.4828") | [1.4828](/materials/material-no/1.4828 "1.4828") 1.4 | [Heat resistant steels](/categories/heat-resistant-steels "Heat resistant steels") | 77 | ≤0,20 | 11,0-13,0 | 19,0-21,0 | — | 1,50-2,50 | ≤2,00 | | [X 7 CrNi 23 14](/materials/din-en/x-7-crni-23-14 "X 7 CrNi 23 14") | [1.4833](/materials/material-no/1.4833 "1.4833") 1.4 | [Heat resistant steels](/categories/heat-resistant-steels "Heat resistant steels") | 69 | ≤0,15 | 12,0-14,0 | 22,0-24,0 | — | ≤1,00 | ≤2,00 | ## Not sure which one your print means?
