Its recorded composition includes C 1.6–1.9%, Si 0.2–0.6%, P ≤ 0.03%, Cr 7.5–8.5% and Mn 0.2–0.6%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include HB ≤ 255. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=ea627c23-14e0-4bf9-9ed1-c2a06419a1fc&designation=ace5024b-38e0-4145-98aa-6f1403267831 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/gb/cr8.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 6 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr C Si Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 89.4 % Cr — 8 % C — 1.8 % Si — 0.4 % Traces & impurities · 0.4 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 1.6–1.9 — Unusual | | Si | 0.2–0.6 | | Mn | 0.2–0.6 | | P | ≤ 0.03 | | S | ≤ 0.02 | | Cr | 7.5–8.5 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium 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 | 1.6-1.9 | 1.600 | 1.900 | Range | | Si | 0.2-0.6 | 0.200 | 0.600 | Range | | P | ≤0.03 | — | 0.030 | Max | | S | ≤0.02 | — | 0.020 | Max | | Cr | 7.5-8.5 | 7.500 | 8.500 | Range | | Mn | 0.2-0.6 | 0.200 | 0.600 | Range | 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. ## Properties by condition 0 conditions · 0 values 1 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 - Quenching Test specimen - Annealing Supply condition Conditions the standard permits on delivery. No temperature or medium is published for these, so no order and no alternation is implied.
