Applicability and limitations

Baosteel BEXG 021-2020, Table 1, row 72, PDF page 8; heat-analysis composition in wt%, hot-rolled wire rod. 2020 is the original edition available locally, with no claim that it is the company’s current latest edition. Special conditions and actual supply require separate confirmation.

Composition conditions

Table 1 and its continuation give heat composition, in mass fractions wt%; The product is hot-rolled wire rod for automotive parts.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, residual Cr≤0.20%, Ni≤0.20%, Cu≤0.20% and Mo≤0.06% apply; Specific requirements in the table and additional notes take precedence.
A dash does not mean zero; Composition outside the table is not inferred from grade names or referenced standards.

Verification notes

Table 1 original images checked page by page, physical pages 3–10; continuation values and other columns kept separate; two disputed rows excluded.
