View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

UNS NO. G50461 is a low-chromium alloy steel with boron added to increase its hardenability. This steel has medium hardenability and strength with good ductility. It is used in a wide range of machinery and tool applications where its properties meet the requirements. Another grade (UNS No. H50461) has similar properties but slightly wider ranges in percentages of carbon, manganese and chromium; this is known as the H-grade (Hardenability grade).
