> 0.5 % > 0.8 % > 0.1 % > 0.25%
Carbon tool steels
Alloy steels
Low alloy steels < 5% special alloying element
High alloy steels > 5% special alloying element
The System of Designation is as follows 1. Letter St 2. Minimum tensile strength in kgf/mm 2
1. Letter C for Carbon 2. Index number for carbon following letter C, denoting average Carbon content in hundredths of a percent
e.g. St. 42 Steel having a minimum tensile strength of 42 kgf/mm 2
Applicable for steels which are standardized standardize d on the basis of their tensile strength without detailed chemical com position
e.g. C 35 Carbon steel having an average of 0.35% Carbon
Letter T for Tool steels Index number for Car bon following letter T, denoting average Carbon content in hundredths of a percent e.g. T 90 Tool steel having an average of 0.90% Carbon
Steels with special limits for maximum S & P, receive the suffix “K”, e.g. C 35 K
e.g. 15 Cr 65 Chrome steel with average percentages of C = 0.15 and Cr = 0.65
To indicate the treatment given to the steel, symbols are used, e.g. T 90a, “a” is used to indicate annealing (ref. Page 4, Add. symbols)
System of Designation of Plain Castings
1. Average C content in hundredths of a percent without prefix C and with prefix T for Alloy Tool Steels 2. Chemical symbols of the significant elements arranged in descending order of percentage contents 3. Alloy Index indicating the average percentage of each alloying element
Alloy index number is assigned as follows: Nominal or average alloy content
OR 1. Symbols indicating the type of castings 2. Symbol for chemical composition similar to the designation of steels
Alloy index number
1. Up to 1 percent. 2. 1 percent and over.
Castings
1. Symbols indicating the type of castings 2. Symbol for mechanical properties
e.g. 20 Cr 18 Ni 2 Chrome Nickel Steel with average percentages of C = 0.20; Cr = 18 and Ni = 2.00
Average alloy content up to 2 decimal places underlined by a bar Rounded to the nearest whole number. Up to 0.5 rounded down, 0.5 and over rounded up.
System of Designation of Alloy Castings 1. Symbols indicating the type of castings 2. Average carbon content in hundredths of a percent following the type symbols of castings 3. Chemical symbols for the significant elements arranged in descending order 4. Alloy index number for the average percentages of alloying elements
