GS-20 MoV 8 4

GS-20 MoV 8 4 is a material in the category Heat-resistant structural steels, held under material number 1.5406. Its recorded composition includes C 0.16–0.23%, Si 0.3–0.5%, V 0.35–0.45%, Mn 0.5–0.8% and Mo 0.8–0.9%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

About Heat-resistant structural steels

Heat-resistant structural steels are structural steels designed to retain useful strength and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. They are used for load-bearing components in hot-service equipment where mechanical performance must be maintained during heating.

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.

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 1.5, a shared category, and a published range for Mo / 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.
