12Cr1MoVg

12Cr1MoVg is a grade designated under GB. Its recorded composition includes C 0.08–0.15%, Si 0.17–0.37%, Cr 0.9–1.2%, Mn 0.4–0.7% and Mo 0.25–0.35%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet.

What this alloy is

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 96.8 %Cr — 1.1 %Mn — 0.6 %Mo — 0.3 %Traces & impurities · 1.3 %

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

Predicted Ae3827°C
Predicted Ae1745°C
Predicted Acm423°C
Predicted Bs544°C

These four temperatures are a CALCULATION from this grade's own composition, using the published Li, Niebuhr, Meekisho & Atteridge (1998) model — never a measurement, and computed from the UPPER BOUND of each element's specified range, not a mid-range figure. Where this grade also has a measured transformation point (Ac1, Ac3, Ar1, Ar3) on file, it is shown separately, in Physical & mechanical properties, and is never replaced by the predicted figures here — Ae (predicted, equilibrium) and Ac/Ar (measured, on heating or cooling) are different physical quantities and can differ by tens of degrees; a mismatch between the two is not an error in either.

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.

Heat treatment

GB /T 5310-2023

Order not stated by the source
  • Normalizing980–1020 °C
  • Tempering720–760 °C
  • Quenching950–990 °C
  • Tempering720–760 °C
  • Normalizing980–1020 °C
  • Tempering720–760 °C

The source lists these operations without stating an order or an alternation. They are shown unordered on purpose.

Supply condition

  • Normalizing and Tempering and QuenchingLongitudinal

Conditions the standard permits on delivery. No temperature or medium is published for these, so no order and no alternation is implied.
