Its recorded composition includes C 0.16–0.25%, Si ≤ 1%, Cr 12–14%, Mn ≤ 1% and Ni ≤ 0.6%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include HB 180–223; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=d9b5fa02-9b00-49c7-afce-039d628e93e0&designation=f4c88885-2e0b-4b39-8283-e65ec906c4b6 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/gb/20cr13.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 7 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Si Mn Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 84.1 % Cr — 13 % Si — 1 % Mn — 1 % Traces & impurities · 0.9 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.16–0.25 | | Si | ≤ 1 | | Mn | ≤ 1 | | P | ≤ 0.04 | | S | ≤ 0.03 | | Cr | 12–14 | | Ni | ≤ 0.6 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Nickel 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 | |---|---|---|---|---| | C | 0.16-0.25 | 0.160 | 0.250 | Range | | Si | ≤1 | — | 1.000 | Max | | P | ≤0.04 | — | 0.040 | Max | | S | ≤0.03 | — | 0.030 | Max | | Cr | 12-14 | 12.000 | 14.000 | Range | | Mn | ≤1 | — | 1.000 | Max | | Ni | ≤0.6 | — | 0.600 | Max | 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 6 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. ## Heat treatment **Q/RP 006-2018** Single operation Wire rod - Annealing 780–870 °C Single operation - Annealing 750 °C Cooling Fast cooling Supply condition - Quenching and tempering ≤ 150 - Annealing Conditions the standard permits on delivery. No temperature or medium is published for these, so no order and no alternation is implied.
