SK6M
SK6M is a grade designated under KS. Its recorded composition includes C 0.7–0.8%, Si ≤ 0.35%, Cr ≤ 0.3%, Mn ≤ 0.5% and Ni ≤ 0.25%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Recorded mechanical properties include HV 190.

Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.

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.

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.
