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
ISO 683-17:2014 Table 3 and footnotes checked against the original; Table 3 specifies heat analysis, mass fraction wt%; unspecified elements are not treated as zero. Product-analysis deviations are addressed separately in Table 4 and do not expand the default heat-analysis limits.
Composition conditions
Original Table 3: ladle analysis, mass fraction wt%; unspecified elements are not treated as zero. Product analysis tolerances are specified separately in Table 4 and do not widen the default ladle-analysis limits.
Elements not listed shall not be intentionally added without the purchaser’s agreement, except as needed to complete steelmaking.
Footnote b: small deviations in heat analysis are permitted only for grades with hardenability requirements, excluding P/S. The deviation in C must not exceed ±0.01%, and deviations for other elements must not exceed Table 4. Default heat-analysis limits are not automatically widened.
Classification as bearing steel does not guarantee suitability for cold heading, mechanical properties, or supply.
Footnote f: Deoxidation or inclusion control using Ca or a Ca alloy requires the purchaser’s explicit approval. Footnote h: The maximum Ti content must be agreed by inquiry; no unlisted value is invented.
Footnote g: the manufacturer may choose heat or product analysis for oxygen. Retain the product-oxygen requirement separately; do not treat a product-analysis value as a heat-analysis value.
Only this row marked “e” in the table: where machinability is the priority, S ≤ 0.030% may be agreed; otherwise the default applies.
