Here is a chart..that will be of interest to everyone on here...it is the american Steel Institute classification of the codes ofr the basic steels....there are other designations for other steel types..particularly Tool and Stainless...but...when people talk of 4140 steels or 5160 steels...this will give you a basic understanding of the Type of steel. A LOT of factors affect how the steel behaves...not least of which is the proportion of and combinations of different ALLOYS ADDED!...the same alloys...added in different proportions can affect the same steel in different ways...so there is FAR MORE to it ...but this chart gives you the Base..or Starting point of the steels! Classifications Specifications Carbon steels Carbon steels, resulfurized Carbon steels, resulfurized and rephosphorized Manganese steels Nickel steels Nickel steels 3.50% Ni Nickel steels 5.0% Ni Nickel chromium steels Ni-Cr steels 0.7% Ni, 0.7% Cr Ni-Cr steels 1.25% Ni, 0.6% Cr Ni-Cr steels 1.75% Ni, 1.0% Cr Ni-Cr steels 3.50% Ni, 1.50% Cr Carbon-molybdenum steels Chromium-molybdenum steels Chromium-nickel-molybdenum steels Nickel-moly steels 1.65% Ni, 0.25% Mo Nickel-moly steels 3.25% Ni, 0.25% Mo Low chromium steels Medium chromium steels Carbon-chromium steels Chromium-vandium steels Low Ni-Cr-Moly steels 0.20% Mo Low Ni-Cr-Moly steels, 0.25% Mo Silicon-Manganese Spring steels Silicon-Manganese-Cr Spring steels 10XX 11XX 12XX 13XX 2XXX 23XX 25XX 3XXX 30XX 31XX 32XX 33XX 40XX 41XX 43XX 46XX 48XX 50XX 51XX 52XX 61X 86XX 87XX 92X 93XX Note: First figure indicates the major class of steel. Second figure indicates a sub-division of the major class And the percentage of t he major alloying elements. This is true of many of the alloy steels. The third and Fourth figures are most important for welding because they indicate carbon in hundredths of a percent. The chart doesnt show the same here as on line...but is in the correct order...thus..Carbon Steel (First) is the 10xx....Resulphurized Steel is 11XX and so on....match the ordered number of the steel t the order of the designation...top to bottom.
