Its recorded composition includes C 0.13–0.17%, Si 0.15–0.35%, Cr 1–1.3%, Mn 0.8–1.1% and Mo 0.2–0.3%. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.
About Case hardening steels
Case hardening steels are steels designed to develop a hard, wear-resistant surface while retaining a tough and ductile core. They are used for components such as gears, shafts and other machine parts exposed to contact wear and cyclic loading.
This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

Chemical composition
7 elements on file · weight %What this alloy is
Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.

0.2–0.3 |
The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other.

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.

Similar grades — and why
Selection rule, stated so you can disagree with it: same number class 1.7, a shared category, and a published range for Cr / Mn that overlaps this grade’s. These are neighbours in composition space — they are not equivalents, and none is claimed to be interchangeable with this grade.
