They are used for heavily loaded components such as shafts, gears, fasteners and structural machine parts where resistance to mechanical stress is required. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Also known as 9 designations · 9 standards · nothing hidden 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

It does not mean the property is undefined for the material. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
