Material number · Europe · 2 designations # 1.5142 1.5142 is the material number of the grade also listed as 60SiMn5. It is a material in the category Spring steels. We list 2 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards DIN / EN and SRPS. - ***Material no.* **1.5142**** - [*Category* **Spring steels · 52 grades**](/categories/spring-steels "Category: Spring steels · 52 grades") - *Designations* **2** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=b1bac74d-2540-429c-8a9b-792b866708d8 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/material-no/1.5142.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## About Spring steels Spring steels are alloy steels designed to store and release elastic energy repeatedly without permanent deformation. 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 2 designations · 2 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once. DIN / EN Europe · 1 - [60SiMn5 This grade’s own name Withdrawn](/materials/din-en/60simn5 "DIN / EN 60SiMn5") SRPS Serbia · 1 - [Č.2330 Indicative](/materials/srps/c-2330 "SRPS Č.2330") Every designation on file is listed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 — 97.1 % Si — 1.2 % Mn — 1 % C — 0.6 % Traces & impurities · 0.1 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | 0.55–0.65 | | Si | 1–1.3 | | Mn | 0.9–1.1 | | 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 | 0,55-0,65 | 0.550 | 0.650 | Range | | N | 0,007 | 0.007 | 0.007 | Exact | | Si | 1,00-1,30 | 1.000 | 1.300 | Range | | P | 0,05 | 0.050 | 0.050 | Exact | | S | 0,05 | 0.050 | 0.050 | Exact | | Mn | 0,90-1,10 | 0.900 | 1.100 | 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, 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. ## Looking for this grade under another name?
