ᵃ As agreed by both the supplier and the buyer, and as specified in the contract, the lower limit of C content may not be required.

ᵇ No requirements are made unless otherwise specified.

7.1.5   According to the customer's requirements, an appropriate amount of rare earth elements can be added to 07Cr2AlMoR steel.
7.1.6 The content of residual elements chromium, nickel, and copper should not exceed 0.30% each, and molybdenum should not exceed 0.080%, with the total content of these elements not exceeding 0.70%. Analysis is not required if the supplier can guarantee this.
7.1.8  The permissible deviation of the chemical composition of finished steel products shall comply with the provisions of CB/T 713.1.
7.1.9  For a comparison of similar grades with relevant international standards, please refer to Appendix A.
