15MnCrMo3-2

15MnCrMo3-2 is a material in the category High-strength steels, held under material number 1.8719. Its recorded composition includes C 0.1–0.2%, Cr 0.4–0.65%, Mn 0.6–1%, Ni 0.7–1% and Mo 0.4–0.6%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

About High-strength steels

High-strength steels are steels designed to carry high loads while resisting deformation. They are used for load-bearing structures, vehicles and machinery where strength, durability and reduced material weight are important.

This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

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.

Predicted transformation temperatures

Predicted Ae3801°C
Predicted Ae1717°C
Predicted Acm444°C
Predicted Bs529°C

These four temperatures are a CALCULATION from this grade's own composition, using the published Li, Niebuhr, Meekisho & Atteridge (1998) model — never a measurement, and computed from the UPPER BOUND of each element's specified range, not a mid-range figure. Where this grade also has a measured transformation point (Ac1, Ac3, Ar1, Ar3) on file, it is shown separately, in Physical & mechanical properties, and is never replaced by the predicted figures here — Ae (predicted, equilibrium) and Ac/Ar (measured, on heating or cooling) are different physical quantities and can differ by tens of degrees; a mismatch between the two is not an error in either.

Physical & mechanical properties

Density7,85g/cm³Exact

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 1.8, a shared category, and a published range for Ni / 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.
