Material number · Europe · 6 designations # 1.4729 1.4729 is the material number of the grade also listed as GX40CrSi13. It is a material in the category Heat-resistant cast steels. We list 6 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards DIN / EN, UNS, AISI / SAE and JIS. - ***Material no.* **1.4729**** - [*Category* **Heat-resistant cast steels · 82 grades**](/categories/heat-resistant-cast-steels "Category: Heat-resistant cast steels · 82 grades") - *Designations* **6** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=68566724-c6d3-47df-bb95-73d2996263a8 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/material-no/1.4729.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## If you came for one of these The most-used names for this grade. - [DIN / EN GX40CrSi13 This grade’s own name](/materials/din-en/gx40crsi13 "DIN / EN GX40CrSi13") - [UNS J91153 This grade’s own name](/materials/uns/j91153 "UNS J91153") ## About Heat-resistant cast steels Heat-resistant cast steels are cast ferrous alloys formulated for service at elevated temperatures, where resistance to softening and thermal degradation is important. They are used for furnace components, heat-treatment equipment and other high-temperature plant parts that require cast shapes and dependable mechanical performance during heating. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Also known as 6 designations · 4 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.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 8 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Si Mn Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 82.3 % Cr — 13 % Si — 1.8 % Mn — 1 % Traces & impurities · 2 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.3–0.5 | | Si | 1–2.5 | | Mn | ≤ 1 | | P | 0.04 | | S | 0.03 | | Cr | 12–14 | | Mo | ≤ 0.5 | | Ni | 1 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum 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 | 0,30-0,50 | 0.300 | 0.500 | Range | | Si | 1,00-2,50 | 1.000 | 2.500 | Range | | P | 0,04 | 0.040 | 0.040 | Exact | | S | 0,03 | 0.030 | 0.030 | Exact | | Cr | 12,0-14,0 | 12.000 | 14.000 | Range | | Mn | ≤1,00 | — | 1.000 | Max | | Ni | 1 | 1.000 | 1.000 | Exact | | Mo | ≤0,50 | — | 0.500 | 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 This grade's composition falls outside the published model's validated range (a low-alloy composition window), so no transformation temperature is predicted here. ## Physical & mechanical properties Density 7,85 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. ## Properties by condition 1 conditions · 1 values By delivery state**Soft annealed** source `steelnumber` | Delivery state | HB | |---|---| | Soft annealed | 300 | Every figure holds only for the condition on its own row. Values are never merged across conditions or across sources, never averaged, and never interpolated between two rows. An em dash means no value on file — never zero. Figures are converted to the unit in the column header; the source’s own wording is kept and shown where the two differ. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
