They are used for gears, shafts, dies and other components requiring resistance to wear, repeated loading and dimensional change in service. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Chemical composition 8 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Mn Mo Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 94 % Cr — 4 % Mn — 1 % Mo — 0.5 % Traces & impurities · 0.5 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.04–0.12 | | Si | 0.1–0.4 | | Mn | 0.85–1.2 | | P | 0.025 | | S | 0.035 | | Cr | 3.7–4.3 | | Mo | 0.4–0.6 | | V | 0.05–0.15 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum Vanadium 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 | |---|---|---|---|---| | C | 0,04-0,12 | 0.040 | 0.120 | Range | | Si | 0,10-0,40 | 0.100 | 0.400 | Range | | P | 0,025 | 0.025 | 0.025 | Exact | | S | 0,035 | 0.035 | 0.035 | Exact | | V | 0,05-0,15 | 0.050 | 0.150 | Range | | Cr | 3,70-4,30 | 3.700 | 4.300 | Range | | Mn | 0,85-1,20 | 0.850 | 1.200 | Range | | Mo | 0,40-0,60 | 0.400 | 0.600 | 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 7,76 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. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
