BDS · 264 grades # BDS steel grades — 264 designations — Page 6 Every grade designated under BDS, with the material number it maps to, what kind of steel it is, its carbon window and how many other standards carry it. Open a grade for its full composition, properties and its designations in other standards. Every name on this page is an indicative cross-reference, not an asserted identity: the grades are close, not interchangeable. Check the composition before you substitute. ## Also known as 264 designations | Grade | Material no. | Category | C% by weight | Also in other standards | |---|---|---|---|---| | [WSt5sp](/materials/bds/wst5sp "WSt5sp") | [1.0050](/materials/material-no/1.0050 "1.0050") | Unalloyed structural steels | — | 23 | | [WSt6sp](/materials/bds/wst6sp "WSt6sp") | [1.0060](/materials/material-no/1.0060 "1.0060") | Unalloyed structural steels | — | 21 | | [WSt6sp](/materials/bds/wst6sp "WSt6sp") | [1.0060](/materials/material-no/1.0060 "1.0060") | Unalloyed structural steels | — | 21 | | [X12Cr13](/materials/din-en/x12cr13 "X12Cr13") | [1.4006](/materials/material-no/1.4006 "1.4006") | Stainless steels | 0.08–0.15 | 26 | | [X210Cr12](/materials/din-en/x210cr12 "X210Cr12") | [1.2060](/materials/material-no/1.2060 "1.2060") | Tool steels for cold work | 1–1.1 | 15 | | [X2CrNiMo18-14-3](/materials/din-en/x2crnimo18-14-3 "X2CrNiMo18-14-3") | [1.4404](/materials/material-no/1.4404 "1.4404") | Stainless steels | ≤ 0.03 | 25 | | [X30WCrV9-3](/materials/din-en/x30wcrv9-3 "X30WCrV9-3") | [1.2581](/materials/material-no/1.2581 "1.2581") | Tool steels for hot work | 0.25–0.35 | 18 | | [X37CrMoV5-1](/materials/din-en/x37crmov5-1 "X37CrMoV5-1") | [1.2343](/materials/material-no/1.2343 "1.2343") | Tool steels for hot work | 0.33–0.41 | 20 | | [X40CrMoV5-1](/materials/din-en/x40crmov5-1 "X40CrMoV5-1") | [1.2344](/materials/material-no/1.2344 "1.2344") | Tool steels for hot work | 0.35–0.42 | 20 | | [X40CrSiMo10-2](/materials/din-en/x40crsimo10-2 "X40CrSiMo10-2") | [1.4731](/materials/material-no/1.4731 "1.4731") | Valve steels | 0.35–0.45 | 12 | | [X45CrSi9-3](/materials/din-en/x45crsi9-3 "X45CrSi9-3") | [1.4718](/materials/material-no/1.4718 "1.4718") | Valve steels | 0.4–0.5 | 16 | | [X45CrSi9-3](/materials/din-en/x45crsi9-3 "X45CrSi9-3") | [1.4718](/materials/material-no/1.4718 "1.4718") | Others | 0.4–0.5 | 16 | | [X53CrMnNiN21-9](/materials/din-en/x53crmnnin21-9 "X53CrMnNiN21-9") | [1.4871](/materials/material-no/1.4871 "1.4871") | Valve steels | 0.48–0.58 | 17 | | [X6CrNiTi18-10](/materials/din-en/x6crniti18-10 "X6CrNiTi18-10") | [1.4541](/materials/material-no/1.4541 "1.4541") | Stainless steels | ≤ 0.08 | 25 | **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.
