X6CR17

13 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.

Related catalog information is available. New material and processing requirements are also welcome. We assess whether our equipment, production lines and process capabilities suit your grade, product form, dimensions, processing and delivery requirements, then discuss possible processing, trials or supply arrangements.

Feasibility and supply terms are confirmed after technical review. The standard information on this page is not a supply or performance commitment.

Default is ladle analysis, mass fraction wt%; product-analysis deviations are separately governed by Table 3 and are not added to default ladle ranges.

Unlisted elements must not be intentionally added without purchaser approval (except as necessary during steelmaking); residual elements must not impair performance or use.

This older edition does not use the 2017 edition’s conditional sulfur provisions; do not copy newer machining/welding/polishing options.

For Ti-stabilized grades, verify 5×C≤Ti≤0.70% using measured C; do not apply this condition to grades without Ti.

The standard covers cold heading/cold extrusion; actual supply, dimensions, delivery condition and properties still require confirmation.
