GSCM420-C

1 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.

Carbon-equivalent reference

IIW / CEV:0.4900–0.6883Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing V CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15; an engineering estimate of welding cold-cracking susceptibility for carbon and low-alloy steels.
Pcm(Ito–Bessyo):0.2700–0.3742Known-element contribution; incomplete value; missing V, B Pcm = C + Si/30 + (Mn + Cu + Cr)/20 + Ni/60 + Mo/15 + V/10 + 5B; mainly used for low-carbon low-alloy steels, particularly modern low-carbon pipeline steels; more relevant when C is approximately no higher than 0.11%.
CET:0.3000–0.4150 Independent-element envelope of standard ranges; not measured heat-analysis values CET = C + (Mn + Mo)/10 + (Cr + Cu)/20 + Ni/40; used in welding preheat assessment for ferritic steels, subject to the applicability conditions of EN 1011-2.

Applicability and limitations

Mass fraction wt%; Manufacturer document, Table 3, heat analysis; PDF, page 4. The PDF main text lacks a cover and shows no standard number; The filename states “244—2019”; PDF was created in 2019, and this designation is not treated as a verified standard edition. G denotes Xingtai Steel high-end wire rod; -A/-B/-C is a quality-class suffix and must not be treated as boron B or aluminum-killed A. Check product-analysis tolerances under GB/T 222; This table gives heat-analysis ranges and must not be directly treated as guaranteed product-analysis ranges. This record does not establish Creation Group stock availability, customer approval or direct substitution. Table 3, merged residual-element cell: each Ni/Cu ≤0.20%. Clause 5.4: for high or relatively high cold-upsetting requirements, specimens with C at least 0.30% or containing alloying elements must first be spheroidize-annealed as specified in the clause; A range crossing the threshold requires assessment against the actual heat and contract.
