The most-used names for this grade.About Quenched and tempered steels
Quenched and tempered steels are heat-treated steels designed to combine high strength with useful toughness and ductility. 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.

Chemical composition
4 elements on file · weight %What this alloy is
Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.

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.

Predicted transformation temperatures
Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Si, Ni, Cr, Mo.
Physical & mechanical properties
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.
