They are used for equipment, structures and components exposed to moisture, chemicals or hygienic service, with different alloy compositions selected for corrosion resistance, strength, formability or weldability. This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering. ## Also known as 46 designations · 9 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 Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.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 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 7,95 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 2 conditions · 7 values By delivery state**no delivery state stated** source `steeljis` | Delivery state | Rm N/mm² | Re N/mm² | A% | HB | HRB | HV | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Plate/Sheet Hot-rolled | 550 | 245 | 40 | — | — | — | | Hot-rolled | — | — | — | 217 | 95 | 220 | By delivery state**Soft annealed** source `steelnumber` | Delivery state | HB | |---|---| | Soft annealed | 250 | 4 further values are held for this grade under a condition the source did not name — a bound with no quantity attached. They are withheld rather than shown against a guessed condition. 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. ## 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 / Ni 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.
