Material number · Europe · 4 designations # 1.8062 1.8062 is the material number of the grade also listed as 46SiCrMo 6-3. It is a material in the category Spring steels. We list 4 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards DIN / EN and AFNOR. - ***Material no.* **1.8062**** - [*Category* **Spring steels · 52 grades**](/categories/spring-steels "Category: Spring steels · 52 grades") - *Designations* **4** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=103ced5b-cdc3-4fb9-940d-a18f01d5f59b "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/material-no/1.8062.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## If you came for one of these The most-used names for this grade. - [DIN / EN 46SiCrMo6 This grade’s own name](/materials/din-en/46sicrmo6 "DIN / EN 46SiCrMo6") ## 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 4 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

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 7,5 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 3 conditions · 3 values By delivery state**Treated to improve shearability** source `steelnumber` | Delivery state | HB | |---|---| | Treated to improve shearability | 280 | By delivery state**Soft annealed** source `steelnumber` | Delivery state | HB | |---|---| | Soft annealed | 248 | By delivery state**Annealed to achieve spheroidization of the carbides** source `steelnumber` | Delivery state | HB | |---|---| | Annealed to achieve spheroidization of the carbides | 230 | 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?
