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. ## Chemical composition 10 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Mn Cr Si Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 97.9 % Mn — 0.9 % Cr — 0.5 % Si — 0.3 % Traces & impurities · 0.5 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.12–0.21 | | Si | 0.2–0.35 | | Mn | 0.7–1 | | P | 0.025 | | S | 0.025 | | Cr | 0.4–0.65 | | Mo | 0.15–0.25 | | V | 0.03–0.08 | | Ti | 0.01–0.03 | | B | ≥ 0.0005 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum Vanadium Titanium Boron 0.01 % 0.1 % 1 % 10 % 100 % 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. | Element | As published source text, verbatim | Min% by weight | Max% by weight | Bound | |---|---|---|---|---| | B | ≥0,0005 | 0.001 | — | Min | | C | 0,12-0,21 | 0.120 | 0.210 | Range | | Si | 0,20-0,35 | 0.200 | 0.350 | Range | | P | 0,025 | 0.025 | 0.025 | Exact | | S | 0,025 | 0.025 | 0.025 | Exact | | Ti | 0,01-0,03 | 0.010 | 0.030 | Range | | V | 0,03-0,08 | 0.030 | 0.080 | Range | | Cr | 0,40-0,65 | 0.400 | 0.650 | Range | | Mn | 0,70-1,00 | 0.700 | 1.000 | Range | | Mo | 0,15-0,25 | 0.150 | 0.250 | Range | The published column is the source string byte-for-byte, decimal comma and all; Min and Max are the parsed bounds. Elements not listed have no value on file — they are omitted, never inferred. ## Predicted transformation temperatures Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Ni. ## Physical & mechanical properties Density 7,85 g/cm³ Exact 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 Mn / Cr 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.
