Applicability and limitations

ISO 4954:2018, Table C.3 gives heat analysis; A single value is a maximum; a dash is not zero. ; Product-analysis tolerances are listed separately under Table 2/3 of the standard and do not directly widen the heat-analysis composition ranges. ; Optional Al0.020–0.050% to improve cold-heading performance; this is not a universal mandatory minimum. ; Low Si may be agreed in the order, taking hardenability into account; Where hardenability is required, the standard permits limited deviations, except for P/S; C must not exceed 0.01%; see Table 2 for the other requirements. ; When a Cr maximum of 0.30% is specified, a minimum Cr may be agreed at ordering; 30MoB1 requires guaranteed hardenability, with Cr minimum 0.15% and an upper limit adjustable by agreement.
