25MNTIBRE

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

Table 1 of GB/T3077-2015 is for heat analysis, and Table 2 is for P/S and residual element requirements.. ; The final note of Table 1 allows all grades to be ordered as high-grade/extra-high-grade quality steel, with A/E added after the grade respectively.; Quality level for this record: quality steel.. ; For steel used in hot-pressure working, Cu≤0.20%.; The general Cu upper limit cannot be applied to this purpose.. ; The alloying ranges specified in Table 1 shall take priority.; Unspecified Cr/Ni/Mo shall follow the residual upper limits in Table 2; residual upper limits shall not be superimposed on alloying elements.. ; Sn/Sb/As must be analyzed and recorded in the quality certificate, with limits by agreement when required.; No unified numerical limits shall be fabricated here. ; Product analysis deviations shall be used separately according to GB/T222 and shall not directly expand the heat range. ; Mechanical properties require consideration of specimen size and recommended heat-treatment/delivery conditions. This composition review does not establish that mechanical properties have been verified.. ; Table 1 Note a: Rare earths are added based on a calculated amount of 0.05%; product analysis results are for reference; The addition amount of 0.05% shall not be written as a guaranteed composition..

Applicability and limitations

GB/T 3077—1999, Table 1: ladle analysis, mass fraction wt%; this record follows the actual 1999 edition, not the 2015 edition. Grades without suffix A in the table are ordered as quality steel. Table 2 P/S/Cu and residual Mo follow the applicable quality grade; residual Cr/Ni/Mo limits do not override alloy contents specified in Table 1. The chemical composition also applies to ingots, billets and their products; bar scope, mechanical properties and surface-quality requirements do not by themselves guarantee suitability as cold-heading wire. If the processing use is not specified in the contract, machining applies; for hot-pressure processing, Cu≤0.20%, select the applicable condition. Under 6.1.1.2, residual W/V/Ti are analyzed and reported on the certificate; no common limit is stated for unlisted elements, so do not enter zero; Table 1 alloy ranges for W/V/Ti remain applicable. Table 1 Note 2: upgrading to A/E quality or specifying other chemistry by agreement requires a separate order check; do not merge grades or rewrite this row’s C range. Note 4: rare earth 0.05% is a calculated addition; product analysis is for reference, not a guaranteed range. Product-analysis tolerances for steel/billets are separately checked against cited GB/T 222—1984 and do not automatically relax ladle limits.
