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 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once. DIN / EN Europe · 1 - [GX160CrSi18 This grade’s own name](/materials/din-en/gx160crsi18 "DIN / EN GX160CrSi18") Every designation on file is listed — no truncation, no “+ n more”. Each one is itself a route that leads back here. ## Chemical composition 8 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Cr Si C Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 76.1 % Cr — 18 % Si — 1.8 % C — 1.6 % Traces & impurities · 2.6 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 1.4–1.8 — Unusual | | Si | 1–2.5 | | Mn | ≤ 1 | | P | 0.04 | | S | 0.03 | | Cr | 17–19 | | 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 | 1,40-1,80 | 1.400 | 1.800 | 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 | 17,0-19,0 | 17.000 | 19.000 | 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. ## Similar grades — and why Selection rule, stated so you can disagree with it: same number class 1.4, a shared category, and a published range for Cr / Si 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.
