45Mn

45Mn is a grade designated under GB. Its recorded composition includes C 0.42–0.5%, Si 0.17–0.37%, Cr ≤ 0.25%, Mn 0.7–1% and Ni ≤ 0.3%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include Rm ≥ 620 N/mm² and A ≥ 15%.

What this alloy is

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 97.6 %Mn — 0.9 %C — 0.5 %Ni — 0.3 %Traces & impurities · 0.8 %

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

Rm≥620N/mm²Min
A≥15%Min

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

Supply condition

  • Normalizing and Quenching and TemperingTest specimen sized=25

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