18CR2NI2MOH

1 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

Estimates are presented separately for each applicable composition condition. Match the actual ordering conditions; ranges must not be combined.

Typically, residual Cu ≤0.25%; default S ≤0.035%

IIW / CEV：0.6067–0.9200Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing 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）：0.2782–0.4215Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing 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：0.3175–0.4800 Independent-element envelope of standard ranges; not measured heat-analysis values 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.

Normally residual Cu ≤0.25%; at the purchaser’s request, S is 0.015–0.035% (the ±0.005% product-analysis tolerance for S must be checked separately).

For hot-pressure working, Cu≤0.20%; default S≤0.035%.

IIW / CEV：0.6067–0.9167Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing 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）：0.2782–0.4190Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing 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：0.3175–0.4775 Independent-element envelope of standard ranges; not measured heat-analysis values 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.

For hot-pressure working, Cu≤0.20%; S 0.015–0.035% only when required by the purchaser (product-analysis tolerance ±0.005 to be checked separately).

Applicability and limitations

Official GB/T5216-2014, cover PDF1, Clause 6.1 PDF7, Table 1 and footnotes PDF8/9; Heat-analysis mass fractions wt%. ; Clause 6.1.2 residual Cu≤.25, Cr≤.30, Ni≤.30%; Specified alloy ranges in the table shall take priority; Hot working Cu≤.20 separate condition. ; 6.1.3 O≤.0020%; Unspecified residual limits such as Mo must not be assumed zero. ; Note a: Only for 16CrMnH/20CrMnH/25CrH/28CrH, Si≤.12% may be agreed at the buyer's request; the effect on mechanical properties must be considered.. ; Note b: Per buyer's request, S may be .015–.035%; in this case, the finished product tolerance is ±.005%, which is not a default heat analysis relaxation. ; H/HH/HL are different hardenability bands; S denotes a sulfur-related grade-designation condition.; Only compositions of H grades are listed this time; hardenability curves and all mechanical properties are not claimed to have been verified. ; The intended use for metal forming or machining under this standard must be stated in the contract.; Cold heading, annealing and actual wire-rod supply require separate confirmation; do not automatically add products..
