8Cr3

8Cr3 is a grade designated under GB. Its recorded composition includes C 0.75–0.85%, Si ≤ 0.4%, P ≤ 0.03%, Cr 3.2–3.8% and Mn ≤ 0.4%. We list one designation recorded for this grade, in the standard GOST.

What this alloy is

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 94.8 %Cr — 3.5 %C — 0.8 %Si — 0.4 %Traces & impurities · 0.5 %

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: Ni, 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.

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