12Cr18Mn12Ni2N

12Cr18Mn12Ni2N is a grade designated under GB. Its recorded composition includes C ≤ 0.15%, Si ≤ 1%, Cr 16.5–19%, Mn 11–14% and Ni 0.5–2.5%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include Rm 1105–2450 N/mm²; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension.

What this alloy is

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 66.7 %Cr — 17.8 %Mn — 12.5 %Ni — 1.5 %Traces & impurities · 1.6 %

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.

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: 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.

Properties by condition

0 conditions · 0 values

29 further values are held for this grade under a condition the source did not name — a bound with no quantity attached. They are withheld rather than shown against a guessed condition.
