Material number · Europe · 1 designation # 1.8703 1.8703 is the material number of the grade also listed as 20MnCr6-4. It is a material in the category High-strength steels. We list 1 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards DIN / EN. - ***Material no.* **1.8703**** - [*Category* **High-strength steels · 128 grades**](/categories/high-strength-steels "Category: High-strength steels · 128 grades") - *Designations* **1** [Search](/search "Steel grade search")[Inquiry](/inquiry?material=790af2d3-c2c6-419f-8afb-658b0f394b29 "Inquiry")[**Datasheet as PDF** Print-ready A4 document **Generating …** **Download started** **Try again**](/materials/material-no/1.8703.pdf "Datasheet as PDF") ## If you came for one of these The most-used names for this grade. - [DIN / EN 20MnCr6-4 This grade’s own name](/materials/din-en/20mncr6-4 "DIN / EN 20MnCr6-4") ## About High-strength steels High-strength steels are steels designed to carry high loads while resisting deformation. They are used for load-bearing structures, vehicles and machinery where strength, durability and reduced material weight are important. 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.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 - [20MnCr6-4 This grade’s own name](/materials/din-en/20mncr6-4 "DIN / EN 20MnCr6-4") 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 Mn Cr Si Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 96.1 % Mn — 1.6 % Cr — 1.1 % Si — 0.5 % Traces & impurities · 0.8 % Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade. | Element | % by weight | |---|---| | C | ≤ 0.23 | | Si | 0.3–0.7 | | Mn | 1.2–2 | | P | 0.025 | | S | 0.025 | | Cr | 0.8–1.3 | | Mo | ≤ 0.3 | | V | ≤ 0.2 | Carbon Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulfur Chromium Molybdenum Vanadium 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 | ≤0,23 | — | 0.230 | Max | | Si | 0,30-0,70 | 0.300 | 0.700 | Range | | P | 0,025 | 0.025 | 0.025 | Exact | | S | 0,025 | 0.025 | 0.025 | Exact | | V | ≤0,20 | — | 0.200 | Max | | Cr | 0,80-1,30 | 0.800 | 1.300 | Range | | Mn | 1,20-2,00 | 1.200 | 2.000 | Range | | Mo | ≤0,30 | — | 0.300 | Max | - (Nb+V+Ti)≤0,20 - (Nb+V+Ti)≤0,20 - (Nb+V+Ti)≤0,20 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. ## 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 1.8, a shared category, and a published range for Mn / Cr 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.
