Its recorded composition includes C 1.25–1.35%, Si 0.17–0.37%, Cr ≤ 0.3%, Mn 0.1–0.4% and Cu ≤ 0.25%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include HB ≤ 217. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=7f40c216-95a8-458f-a515-4c6f9e42f173&designation=0137d343-e785-4b2f-99e5-52171f3bfe38 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/gb/t13.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 7 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe C Cr Si Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 97.6 % C — 1.3 % Cr — 0.3 % Si — 0.3 % Traces & impurities · 0.6 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 1.25–1.35 — Unusual | | Si | 0.17–0.37 | | Mn | 0.1–0.4 | | P | ≤ 0.03 | | S | ≤ 0.025 | | Cr | ≤ 0.3 | | Cu | ≤ 0.25 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium 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 | 1.25-1.35 | 1.250 | 1.350 | Range | | Si | 0.17-0.37 | 0.170 | 0.370 | Range | | P | ≤0.03 | — | 0.030 | Max | | S | ≤0.025 | — | 0.025 | Max | | Cr | ≤0.3 | — | 0.300 | Max | | Mn | 0.1-0.4 | 0.100 | 0.400 | Range | | 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: 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 **GB /T 1299-2025** Single operation Test specimen - Quenching 760–780 °C Cooling Water Supply condition - 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.
