ML28B

ML28B is a grade designated under GB. Its recorded composition includes C 0.25–0.32%, Si ≤ 0.4%, Cr ≤ 0.2%, Mn 0.6–0.9% and Ni ≤ 0.2%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include Rm 530–630 N/mm², Re ≥ 480 N/mm² and A 14–62%; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension.

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 97.9 %Mn — 0.8 %Si — 0.4 %C — 0.3 %Traces & impurities · 0.7 %

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

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

5 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.

Supply condition

  • Annealing

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