Elements not listed have no value on file — they are omitted, never inferred. ## Predicted transformation temperatures computed from composition · °C Predicted Ae3 797 °C Predicted Ae1 751 °C Predicted Acm 447 °C Predicted Bs 472 °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. ## Properties by condition 4 conditions · 15 values By heat-treated condition**no delivery state stated** source `splav` | Heat-treated condition | Rm N/mm² | A5% | |---|---|---| | Sheet trick, GOST 11269-76 | 490 – 740 | 15 | | Sheet thin, GOST 11268-76 | 490 – 740 | 15 | By heat-treated condition**no delivery state stated** source `splav` | Heat-treated condition | Rm N/mm² | A5% | KCU kJ/m² | |---|---|---|---| | Sheet trick, GOST 11269-76 | 980 | 11 | 590 | | Sheet thin, GOST 11268-76 | 980 | 11 | — | By dimension**Quenching and drawing** source `splav` | Dimension mm | Rm N/mm² | Re N/mm² | A5% | Z% | KCU kJ/m² | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Ø 15 | 980 | 885 | 12 | 55 | 785 | By delivery state**no delivery state stated** source `splav` | Delivery state | HB | |---|---| | 12Kh2NVFMA ( 12Х2НВФМА ) (normalize) , Sheet trick GOST 11269-76 | 156 – 217 | Every figure holds only for the condition on its own row. Values are never merged across conditions or across sources, never averaged, and never interpolated between two rows. An em dash means no value on file — never zero. Figures are converted to the unit in the column header; the source’s own wording is kept and shown where the two differ. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
