Its recorded composition includes C 0.28–0.33%, Si 0.15–0.35%, Cr 0.9–1.2%, Mn 0.6–0.85% and Mo 0.15–0.3%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=ac0a7e0f-b1d8-48fb-9c8d-d61d3565a9e5&designation=73081502-3f39-4afb-96de-c67c8652a81d "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/jis/scm430tk.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 9 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Mn C Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 96.8 % Cr — 1.1 % Mn — 0.7 % C — 0.3 % Traces & impurities · 1.1 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.28–0.33 | | Si | 0.15–0.35 | | Mn | 0.6–0.85 | | P | ≤ 0.03 | | S | ≤ 0.03 | | Cr | 0.9–1.2 | | Mo | 0.15–0.3 | | Ni | ≤ 0.25 | | Cu | ≤ 0.3 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum Nickel Copper 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 | 0.28 - 0.33 | 0.280 | 0.330 | Range | | Si | 0.15 - 0.35 | 0.150 | 0.350 | Range | | P | max 0.03 | — | 0.030 | Max | | S | max 0.03 | — | 0.030 | Max | | Cr | 0.9 - 1.2 | 0.900 | 1.200 | Range | | Mn | 0.6 - 0.85 | 0.600 | 0.850 | Range | | Ni | max 0.25 | — | 0.250 | Max | | Cu | max 0.3 | — | 0.300 | Max | | Mo | 0.15 - 0.3 | 0.150 | 0.300 | 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 computed from composition · °C Predicted Ae3 793 °C Predicted Ae1 743 °C Predicted Acm 567 °C Predicted Bs 531 °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?
