Its recorded composition includes C ≤ 0.15%, Si ≤ 0.5%, Cr 11.5–13%, Mn ≤ 1% and Ni ≤ 0.6%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=50c00158-7a56-4501-bdcb-968dd7f141a8&designation=a58a1395-661e-4887-bd21-bffd58bb2dd1 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/ks/sts403fb.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## Chemical composition 7 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Mn Ni Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 85.4 % Cr — 12.3 % Mn — 1 % Ni — 0.6 % Traces & impurities · 0.7 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | ≤ 0.15 | | Si | ≤ 0.5 | | Mn | ≤ 1 | | P | ≤ 0.04 | | S | ≤ 0.03 | | Cr | 11.5–13 | | Ni | ≤ 0.6 | 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 | max 0.15 | — | 0.150 | Max | | Si | max 0.5 | — | 0.500 | Max | | P | max 0.04 | — | 0.040 | Max | | S | max 0.03 | — | 0.030 | Max | | Cr | 11.5 - 13 | 11.500 | 13.000 | Range | | Mn | max 1 | — | 1.000 | Max | | Ni | max 0.6 | — | 0.600 | 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?
