Its recorded composition includes C ≤ 0.15%, Si 0.5–1%, Cr 8–10%, Mn 0.3–0.6% and Mo 0.9–1.1%. We list one designation recorded for this grade, in the standard KS. Recorded mechanical properties include Rm 590–760 N/mm², Re 380 N/mm², A 18% and Z 40%; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension. - *Designations* **2** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=3ef3d9f9-8335-481c-9548-a3919e174008&designation=65e9bbe8-13d1-47f6-8e57-ff6a3979a6c3 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/jis/sfvaf9.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## If you came for one of these The most-used names for this grade. - **KS SFVAF9 This grade’s own name** ## Also known as 2 designations · 2 standards · nothing hidden This grade’s own name recorded in our sources as this grade’s own designation under that standard. Indicative taken from a published cross-reference table; a close match, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify against the mill certificate before ordering. Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

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: Ni. ## 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?
