26CrMo7

26CrMo7 is a material in the category Hydrogen resistant steels, held under material number 1.7259. Its recorded composition includes C 0.22–0.3%, Si 0.15–0.35%, Cr 1.5–1.8%, Mn 0.5–0.7% and Mo 0.2–0.25%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

About Hydrogen resistant steels

Hydrogen resistant steels are steels designed to withstand hydrogen-related damage, including hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen attack. They are used for pressure vessels, piping and process equipment exposed to hydrogen-containing environments, where resistance to hydrogen ingress and loss of toughness is 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.

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.
