Its recorded composition includes C 0.08–0.15%, Si ≤ 1%, Cr 11.5–13.5%, Mn ≤ 1% and Ni ≤ 1%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=25e926c6-3bfd-4ed1-8fb9-2654148d2cb6&designation=03253f04-3d1a-41a5-aa7d-5f1b6155cbb2 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/is/x12cr12.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 7 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Si Mn Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 84.3 % Cr — 12.5 % Si — 1 % Mn — 1 % Traces & impurities · 1.2 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.08–0.15 | | Si | ≤ 1 | | Mn | ≤ 1 | | P | ≤ 0.04 | | S | ≤ 0.03 | | Cr | 11.5–13.5 | | Ni | ≤ 1 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Nickel 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 | 0.08-0.15 | 0.080 | 0.150 | Range | | Si | ≤1.0 | — | 1.000 | Max | | P | ≤0.040 | — | 0.040 | Max | | S | ≤0.030 | — | 0.030 | Max | | Cr | 11.5-13.5 | 11.500 | 13.500 | Range | | Mn | ≤1.0 | — | 1.000 | Max | | Ni | ≤1.0 | — | 1.000 | 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: 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.
