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.

Applicability and limitations

Q/BQB 517—2023 Baosteel official website original text Table 1 Row 52; Heat-analysis mass fractions wt%. Note a below the table: residual Cr≤0.20, Ni≤0.20, Cu≤0.20, Mo≤0.06 wt%; When this row has other provisions, the requirements for the element in this row shall prevail. Elements not listed and special agreement requirements shall not be treated as zero or as default guarantees; Permissible deviations for product analysis shall otherwise be according to GB/T 222. Hot-rolled delivery of wire rod; Tighter P/S limits under Z1 and special surface or inclusion quality requirements must be confirmed against normative Annex A and the contractual ordering codes; do not infer fixed mechanical properties from the chemical-composition table. Table 1, Note b states guarantees concerning Cd/Hg/Pb/Cr6+ but provides no actual measured values.; Not a limit listed in the chemical composition table for this row.
