07Ni5DR Chemical Composition

Grade Chemical Compositionᵃ (Quality Fraction)/%
C Si Mn Ni S Cr Cu Mo V Nb Alt
≤ ≤ ≥
07Ni5DRᶜ 0.10 0.10~0.35 0.30~0.80 4.75~5.25 0.015 0.005 0.25 0.35 0.10 0.05 0.08 0.015

ᵃ  Except for the 06Ni7DR grade, Cr+Mo+Cu≤0.50%.

ᵇ  When the thickness is greater than 100 mm, the upper limit of C content can be 0.12%.

ᶜ When the thickness is greater than 50 mm, the upper limit of C content can be 0.12%.

Note: a is the sample thickness; b is the sample width; D is the diameter of the bending indenter.

ᵃ Transverse specimens are used for tensile and impact tests.

ᵇ When the yield strength is not obvious, Rp0.2 can be used instead of the lower yield strength.

ᶜ For the bending test, a transverse specimen should be used. The specimen width should be twice the plate thickness, and the minimum width should be no less than 20 mm.
