08AL

2 source records. Standards, editions and conditions are presented separately; matching grade names do not establish interchangeability.

Refer to each source for mass fractions and analysis type. Missing values are not treated as 0. Manufacturer typical values, standard guarantees and measured heat results must remain separate. Use the material selector for calculations and condition selection.

Carbon-equivalent reference

IIW / CEV:0.0000–0.2417Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing Mo, V CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15; an engineering estimate of welding cold-cracking susceptibility for carbon and low-alloy steels.
Pcm(Ito–Bessyo):0.0000–0.1560Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing Mo, V, B Pcm = C + Si/30 + (Mn + Cu + Cr)/20 + Ni/60 + Mo/15 + V/10 + 5B; mainly used for low-carbon low-alloy steels, particularly modern low-carbon pipeline steels; more relevant when C is approximately no higher than 0.11%.
CET:0.0000–0.1800Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing Mo CET = C + (Mn + Mo)/10 + (Cr + Cu)/20 + Ni/40; used in welding preheat assessment for ferritic steels, subject to the applicability conditions of EN 1011-2.

Applicability and limitations

GB/T699-2015 Table 1 Note b; Al denotes total aluminum Alt.. ; No restriction on the C/Mn lower bounds means neither actual content may be assumed to be 0. ; Table 1 of GB/T699-2015 gives heat-analysis mass fractions wt%; Product-analysis tolerances are listed separately under GB/T222.

Applicability and limitations

Clause 6.1.1.5: when 08 steel is Al-deoxidized killed steel, it is designated separately as 08Al; Mn≥0.25%、Si≤0.03%、Al0.02—0.07%. ; Original Table 2 defaults to quality steel with P and S each ≤0.035%; Higher and special quality levels must be selected separately.
