SCM418RCH

3 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

Based on Table 1/2 of the official Japanese original version of JIS G3509-1:2021, heat analysis mass fraction wt%; This record covers feedstock wire rod; it does not automatically establish the delivery properties or supply of processed WCH wire.. Ordinary RCH, hardenability-guaranteed HRCH, and agreed H1/H2 shall be recorded separately; Chemical ranges for H-class shall follow independent rows in this edition and shall not be automatically widened based on ordinary compositions. Cu≤0.30% for all grades in the table; Do not enter 0 for Mo marked with a dash or for unlisted elements; they must not be intentionally added except as needed to finish steelmaking.; Al addition for grain refinement shall be by agreement. Si is 0.15—0.35% by default; lower limits below 0.15% are adopted by agreement only; This record retains the default range; agreed Si values require separate verification against the actual specified values.. Product analysis deviations shall be verified separately according to the referenced JIS G0321 Table 4; heat limits shall not be treated as product analysis limits. Clause 7.1 applies only when specified by the purchaser. Average ferritic/total decarburized-layer depths: d≤15mm, ≤0.02/0.12mm; 15<d≤25mm, ≤0.02/0.15mm; 25<d≤32mm, ≤0.02/0.20mm; 32<d≤40mm, ≤0.03/0.25mm; 40<d≤50mm, ≤0.03/0.30mm; d>50mm, subject to agreement.. Clause 7.2: Non-metallic inclusion requirements apply only when specified by the purchaser. Use Table 4 of this edition and the corresponding JIS G0555 cleanliness methods; do not automatically equate these with ASTM E45.. Default surface defect depth ≤ 0.10mm; Stricter surface and dimensional accuracy shall be per agreement. Ordinary RCH in this record does not automatically carry the HRCH hardenability guarantee.; Fixed tensile strength and delivery hardness are not specified by the chemical table.

Verification notes

The 2021 official Japanese Table 2, separate composition rows and Cu table note checked; distinct HRCH and ordinary RCH composition ranges retained.

Applicability and limitations

JIS G 3509-1:2003: main-text Table 1 of the English original lists SCM418RCH, classified as chromium-molybdenum steel. This record covers low-alloy steel wire rod for cold heading. Main-text Table 2 gives heat analysis, mass fraction %. Default Si: 0.15–0.35%. A lower bound below 0.15% requires purchaser-supplier agreement and is not the default. Note 1 to main-text Table 2: impurities for all grades, Cu≤0.30%. Note 2: Al for grain refinement is added only by agreement. Product-analysis deviations apply only by agreement under Table 4 of JIS G 0321. Actual designations in this edition are shown separately from later editions such as 2005/2010/2021; the historical edition does not establish a current standard or actual supply.

printed page 14, 7.1.8 JIS G3509-1 (edition not stated). The original catalogue does not explicitly identify the analysis type for this table. Historical manufacturer range data, not guaranteed standard limits or heat-specific measurements; this does not establish supply by Creation Group. Condition, note spanning pages: the Si minimum may be reduced below 0.15 by agreement, and Al may be added for grain refinement; Currently follows the Si range in the main table; no Al limit is inserted without a source.
