Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade 10, Grade 11
Chemical Requirements
Composition, % | |||
Element | Grade 1 | Grade 3 | Grade 6 |
Carbon, max | 0.30 | 0.19 | 0.30 |
Manganese | 0.40 - 1.06 | 0.31 - 0.64 | 0.29 - 1.06 |
Phosphorous, max | 0.025 | 0.025 | 0.025 |
Sulfur, max | 0.025 | 0.025 | 0.025 |
Silicon | 0.18 -0.37 | 0.10 min | |
Nickel | 3.18 - 3.82 |
For each reduction of 0.01% carbon below 0.30%, an increase of 0.05% manganese above 1.06% would be permitted to a maximum of 1.35% manganese.
When Grade 6 is ordered under this specification, supplying an alloy grade that specifically requires the addition of any element other than those listed for the ordered grade is not permitted. However, the addition of elements required for the deoxidation of the steel is permitted.
