Ni≤ 0.5 (lower limit not stated)
N≤ 0.04 (lower limit not stated)
Al≤ 0.15 (lower limit not stated)
Ti≤ 1.1 (lower limit not stated)

Applicability and limitations

Based on Table 1 of the original SAE J405 JUN1998; mass fraction wt%. Note 1: a value without a stated range or lower bound is a maximum; dashes mean unspecified and are not replaced with zero. Note 5: Cb and Nb refer to the same element. Verify alloy elements against the applicable UNS row and additional conditions. Note 4: carbon analysis is generally reported to 0.01%, or to 0.001% for low-carbon types. This is reporting precision and does not relax composition limits. Type names in original Table 1 may include common names or a ASTM naming footnote. Search aliases use only explicit same-row relationships; interchangeability across standards is not inferred. 1998 is the actual composition source. The requested newer edition has not been verified, and agreement between editions is not assumed. Ti≥0.2+4×(C+N), and ≤1.1; check jointly using measured composition from the same heat, not independent combinations of elemental maxima.
