Its recorded composition includes C ≤ 0.18%, Si 0.15–0.5%, Mn 0.9–1.6%, Ni ≤ 0.4% and Cu ≤ 0.35%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=99e1ba9f-881d-4c6c-a0ef-9f390ccef36c&designation=71e943b4-65c1-42a4-9e73-342720fff938 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/gost/e36.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 14 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Mn Ni Cu Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 96.9 % Mn — 1.3 % Ni — 0.4 % Cu — 0.4 % Traces & impurities · 1.1 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | ≤ 0.18 | | Si | 0.15–0.5 | | Mn | 0.9–1.6 | | P | ≤ 0.035 | | S | ≤ 0.035 | | Cr | ≤ 0.2 | | Mo | ≤ 0.08 | | Ni | ≤ 0.4 | | V | 0.05–0.1 | | Cu | ≤ 0.35 | | Al | 0.015–0.06 | | Nb | 0.02–0.05 | | N | ≤ 0.008 | | As | ≤ 0.08 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum Nickel Vanadium Copper Aluminium Niobium Nitrogen Arsenic 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 | max 0.18 | — | 0.180 | Max | | N | max 0.008 | — | 0.008 | Max | | Al | 0.015 - 0.06 | 0.015 | 0.060 | Range | | Si | 0.15 - 0.5 | 0.150 | 0.500 | Range | | P | max 0.035 | — | 0.035 | Max | | S | max 0.035 | — | 0.035 | Max | | V | 0.05 - 0.1 | 0.050 | 0.100 | Range | | Cr | max 0.2 | — | 0.200 | Max | | Mn | 0.9 - 1.6 | 0.900 | 1.600 | Range | | Ni | max 0.4 | — | 0.400 | Max | | Cu | max 0.35 | — | 0.350 | Max | | As | max 0.08 | — | 0.080 | Max | | Nb | 0.02 - 0.05 | 0.020 | 0.050 | Range | | Mo | max 0.08 | — | 0.080 | 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 computed from composition · °C Predicted Ae3 815 °C Predicted Ae1 711 °C Predicted Acm 416 °C Predicted Bs 554 °C These four temperatures are a CALCULATION from this grade's own composition, using the published Li, Niebuhr, Meekisho & Atteridge (1998) model — never a measurement, and computed from the UPPER BOUND of each element's specified range, not a mid-range figure. Where this grade also has a measured transformation point (Ac1, Ac3, Ar1, Ar3) on file, it is shown separately, in Physical & mechanical properties, and is never replaced by the predicted figures here — Ae (predicted, equilibrium) and Ac/Ar (measured, on heating or cooling) are different physical quantities and can differ by tens of degrees; a mismatch between the two is not an error in either. ## 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. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
