Material number · Europe · 1 designation # 1.3208 1.3208 is the material number of the grade also listed as HS9-4-3-11. It is a material in the category High-speed steels. We list 1 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards DIN / EN. - ***Material no.* **1.3208**** - [*Category* **High-speed steels · 59 grades**](/categories/high-speed-steels "Category: High-speed steels · 59 grades") - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=b9b068ad-eb5d-4d3e-807e-92c741830acf "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/material-no/1.3208.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## If you came for one of these The most-used names for this grade. - [DIN / EN HS9-4-3-11 This grade’s own name](/materials/din-en/hs9-4-3-11 "DIN / EN HS9-4-3-11") ## About High-speed steels High-speed steels are alloyed tool steels designed to retain hardness and cutting ability when tools heat up during high-speed machining. Their hot hardness and wear resistance make them suitable for cutting tools such as drills, milling cutters, taps and broaches. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Also known as 1 designations · 1 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

Each one is itself a route that leads back here. ## Chemical composition 10 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Co W Cr Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 66.8 % Co — 11 % W — 8.8 % Cr — 4.1 % Traces & impurities · 9.4 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 1.35–1.45 | | Si | ≤ 0.5 | | Mn | ≤ 0.4 | | P | 0.03 | | S | 0.03 | | Cr | 3.7–4.4 | | Mo | 3.4–3.8 | | V | 3.2–3.6 | | W | 8.4–9.1 | | Co | 10.5–11.5 — Unusual | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum Vanadium Tungsten Cobalt 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 | 1,35-1,45 | 1.350 | 1.450 | Range | | Si | ≤0,50 | — | 0.500 | Max | | P | 0,03 | 0.030 | 0.030 | Exact | | S | 0,03 | 0.030 | 0.030 | Exact | | V | 3,20-3,60 | 3.200 | 3.600 | Range | | Cr | 3,70-4,40 | 3.700 | 4.400 | Range | | Mn | ≤0,40 | — | 0.400 | Max | | Co | 10,5-11,5 | 10.500 | 11.500 | Range | | Mo | 3,40-3,80 | 3.400 | 3.800 | Range | | W | 8,40-9,10 | 8.400 | 9.100 | 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 Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Ni. ## Physical & mechanical properties Density 8,2 g/cm³ Exact 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. ## Similar grades — and why Selection rule, stated so you can disagree with it: same number class 1.3, a shared category, and a published range for Co / W that overlaps this grade’s. These are neighbours in composition space — they are not equivalents, and none is claimed to be interchangeable with this grade.
