They combine high strength with useful formability and are used for lightweight automotive structural and safety components where resistance to deformation is important. 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 Mn Al Si Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 94.5 % Mn — 2.2 % Al — 2 % Si — 0.8 % Traces & impurities · 0.6 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | ≤ 0.23 | | Si | ≤ 0.8 | | Mn | ≤ 2.2 | | P | 0.08 — Unusual | | S | 0.015 | | V | ≤ 0.22 | | Al | ≤ 2 | | B | ≤ 0.005 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Vanadium Aluminium 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 | ≤0,005 | — | 0.005 | Max | | C | ≤0,23 | — | 0.230 | Max | | Al | ≤2,00 | — | 2.000 | Max | | Si | ≤0,80 | — | 0.800 | Max | | P | 0,08 | 0.080 | 0.080 | Exact | | S | 0,015 | 0.015 | 0.015 | Exact | | V | ≤0,22 | — | 0.220 | Max | | Mn | ≤2,20 | — | 2.200 | Max | - (Cr+Mo)≤1,20; (Nb+Ti)≤0,15 - (Cr+Mo)≤1,20; (Nb+Ti)≤0,15 - (Cr+Mo)≤1,20; (Nb+Ti)≤0,15 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, Cr, Mo. ## 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 1.0, a shared category, and a published range for Mn / Al 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.
