W18Cr4V2Co 8

W18Cr4V2Co 8 is a grade designated under GB. Its recorded composition includes C 0.75–0.85%, V 1.8–2.4%, Cr 3.75–5%, Co 7–9.5% and W 17.5–19%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include HB 285–302; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension.

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

This grade's composition falls outside the published model's validated range (a low-alloy composition window), so no transformation temperature is predicted here.

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

2 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

  • Quenching and TemperingTest specimen

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