Its recorded composition includes C 0.52–0.6%, Si 1.6–2%, Cr 0.2–0.45%, Mn 0.7–1% and Ni ≤ 0.35%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include Rm ≥ 1500 N/mm², Re ≥ 1350 N/mm², A ≥ 6% and HB 248–280; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=fd9afa2e-7458-439c-8a8b-7d50f1446bbe&designation=265d6b23-ca86-459e-ae55-613e2ac9aa47 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/gb/56si2mncr.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 8 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Si Mn C Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 95.8 % Si — 1.8 % Mn — 0.9 % C — 0.6 % Traces & impurities · 1 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.52–0.6 | | Si | 1.6–2 | | Mn | 0.7–1 | | P | ≤ 0.025 | | S | ≤ 0.02 | | Cr | 0.2–0.45 | | Ni | ≤ 0.35 | | Cu | ≤ 0.25 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Nickel Copper 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 | 0.52-0.6 | 0.520 | 0.600 | Range | | Si | 1.6-2 | 1.600 | 2.000 | Range | | P | ≤0.025 | — | 0.025 | Max | | S | ≤0.02 | — | 0.020 | Max | | Cr | 0.2-0.45 | 0.200 | 0.450 | Range | | Mn | 0.7-1 | 0.700 | 1.000 | Range | | Ni | ≤0.35 | — | 0.350 | Max | | Cu | ≤0.25 | — | 0.250 | 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 7 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 Supply condition - Soft annealing - Stress relieving - Quenching and Tempering Conditions the standard permits on delivery. No temperature or medium is published for these, so no order and no alternation is implied.
