The following table is an extract from
DIN 267 Part 11. It contains information on the chemical composition of
austenitic, martensitic and ferritic steels in % by weight.
1 sulfur may be replaced by selenium 2 may contain titanium up to 5 times the weight % of C with a maximum
of 0.8% 3 may contain niobium (columbium) and/or tantalum up to 10 times the
weight % of C with a maximum of 1.0% 4 may contain copper up to a maximum of 4.0% 5 may contain molybdenum (prerogative of the manufacturer)
Maximum values unless otherwise stated.
The selection of steel grades within a
group is the prerogative of the manufacturer, unless the purchaser has
specified particular steels to ISO or national standards.
Different grades of steel may be used
as long as all physical and mechanical properties and the corresponding
corrosion resistance of the finished product are achieved. Only when
all these conditions are fulfilled may finished articles be marked in
accordance with DIN 267 Part 11.
