16CR25N

4 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

Heat analysis, mass fractions wt%; Permissible deviations for product chemical composition shall be separately verified according to GB/T222. ; All values in the table are maximum values except for ranges or minimum values; Values in brackets are the maximum values that may be added or allowed to be contained, and are not required to be added. ; Standard for heat-resistant steel bars; a grade name alone does not establish suitability for cold heading or availability as wire; Processing methods and delivery conditions must be specified in the contract. ; In Table 5, the brackets (0.30) for Cu represent the upper limit that may be added or allowed to be contained; N is ≤0.25%, not a minimum value.

Applicability and limitations

GB/T 20878—2007 tabulated chemical-composition mass fractions wt%; Values in parentheses are maximum permitted additions; conditional expressions require manual interpretation against the original text. Ni ≤0.60 and Cu ≤0.30 are maximum permitted additions shown in parentheses. A material-database match does not guarantee cold-heading suitability, actual supply or finished-product strength. GB/T 20878—2007 is a historical edition; This record does not replace verification of the current standard, contract or material applicability.

Verification notes

GB/T 20878—2007 historical original, Table 3, entry 93. The complete 45-page scan was checked. The standard is withdrawn; the historical edition’s application limits are retained.
