Material number · Europe · 1 designation # 1.5022 1.5022 is the material number of the grade also listed as 38Si6. It is a material in the category Spring steels.

They are characterised by a combination of strength, hardness and resilience, making them suitable for springs, clips, washers and other components subjected to repeated flexing or shock. 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once. DIN / EN Europe · 1 - [38Si6 This grade’s own name Withdrawn](/materials/din-en/38si6 "DIN / EN 38Si6") Every designation on file is listed — no truncation, no “+ n more”. Each one is itself a route that leads back here. ## Chemical composition 6 elements on file · weight % What this alloy is Fe Si Mn C Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 97.4 % Si — 1.5 % Mn — 0.7 % C — 0.4 % Traces & impurities · 0.1 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.35–0.42 | | Si | 1.4–1.6 | | Mn | 0.5–0.8 | | P | 0.05 — Unusual | | S | 0.05 | | N | 0.007 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Nitrogen 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 | 0,35-0,42 | 0.350 | 0.420 | Range | | N | 0,007 | 0.007 | 0.007 | Exact | | Si | 1,40-1,60 | 1.400 | 1.600 | Range | | P | 0,05 | 0.050 | 0.050 | Exact | | S | 0,05 | 0.050 | 0.050 | Exact | | Mn | 0,50-0,80 | 0.500 | 0.800 | 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, Cr, Mo. ## 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 1.5, a shared category, and a published range for Si / Mn 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.
