They are used for components in furnaces, boilers, heat exchangers and power-generation equipment exposed to hot gases or sustained heat. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Also known as 7 designations · 7 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

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: Mo. ## Physical & mechanical properties Density 8 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?
