Its recorded composition includes C 0.17–0.23%, P ≤ 0.045%, S ≤ 0.045% and Mn 0.3–0.6%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=81fd8023-7aab-4638-892e-b8ba18a6f97a&designation=6e1fea59-2a56-4a85-95e9-c896f2557254 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/is/c20-b.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 4 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Mn C P Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 99.3 % Mn — 0.4 % C — 0.2 % P — 0 % Traces & impurities · 0 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.17–0.23 | | Mn | 0.3–0.6 | | P | ≤ 0.045 | | S | ≤ 0.045 | Carbon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur 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 | 0.17 - 0.23 | 0.170 | 0.230 | Range | | P | max 0.045 | — | 0.045 | Max | | S | max 0.045 | — | 0.045 | Max | | Mn | 0.30 - 0.60 | 0.300 | 0.600 | Range | 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: Si, Ni, Cr, 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. ## Looking for this grade under another name? Search the catalogue by designation, material number or composition — every name on this page is itself a way in.
