STHG31

STHG31 is a grade designated under KS. Its recorded composition includes C 0.35–0.4%, Si 0.1–0.5%, Cr 0.3–0.6%, Mn 1.2–1.5% and Ni 0.5–1%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet.

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 96.5 %Mn — 1.4 %Ni — 0.8 %Cr — 0.4 %Traces & impurities · 0.9 %

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.

Predicted Acm592°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.
