Characteristics of steel grade BSt4kp
BSt4kp - Structural carbon steel of ordinary quality, limited weldability, welding is carried out without heating and without subsequent heat treatment, welding methods: manual arc welding, automatic submerged arc welding and gas protection, KTS, ESW, manual argon arc welding, mechanized welding with a consumable electrode in a medium carbon dioxide. For thicknesses greater than 35 millimeters, heating and subsequent heat treatment are recommended; it is not prone to flake sensitivity and there is no tendency to temper brittleness. Cutting machinability in the hot-rolled state at HB 152 and σ = 400 MPa. Kυ tv.sp. = 1.7 and Kυ b.st. = 1.7, has found its application in the production of hollow steel, channels, angle steel, and is used for welded, riveted and bolted structures of increased strength in the form of long, shaped and sheet metal, as well as for lightly loaded parts. Forging at temperatures from 1250 to 850 0C, cooling is carried out in air.
Marking and decoding of alloy steels
Designation is alphanumeric. Alloying elements have symbols - they are designated by letters of the Russian alphabet.
Designations and interpretation of letters of alloying elements of steels
A – nitrogen (indicated in the middle of the mark) B – niobium C – tungsten D – manganese D – copper E – selenium K – cobalt M – molybdenum N – nickel P – phosphorus P – boron C – silicon T – titanium F – vanadium X – chromium C – zirconium Yu – aluminum Ch – rare earth
Alloy structural steels
At the beginning of the stamp there is a two-digit number indicating the carbon content in hundredths of a percent. Alloying elements are listed below. The number following the symbol of the element shows its content as a percentage; if there is no number, then the content of the element does not exceed 1.5%. Steel 30Х2М. This grade of steel contains about 0.30% carbon, 2% chromium, and less than 1% molybdenum.
Alloy tool steels
At the beginning of the brand there is a single-digit number indicating the carbon content in tenths of a percent. If the carbon content is more than 1%, the number is not indicated; then alloying elements are listed, indicating their content.
Interpretation of steel grade BSt4kp
Interpretation of steel: The letter B at the beginning denotes a group of steel that determines the tensile strength criteria for the chemical composition. Steel with a name starting with the letter B comes with a guaranteed chemical composition, strength is 20 MPa lower than steel of group A, and may also differ in mechanical properties from group A. Letters St. indicate that the steel is of ordinary quality, although most steels are high quality. The numbers from 0 to 6 are the conventional brand number depending on the chemical composition and mechanical properties. Typically, the higher the number, the more carbon and the greater the strength. In our case, 4 indicates the carbon content in the alloy is 0.18–0.27%. The letters after the brand number indicate the degree of deoxidation: kp - boiling. In terms of price, boiling steels are the cheapest, but their cold brittleness threshold is 30 - 40% higher than calm steels.
Cast irons with special properties
Depending on the purpose, wear-resistant, anti-friction, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant cast irons are distinguished.
Wear-resistant (anti-friction) cast irons
Designated by a combination of the letters AChS, AChK, AChV. The letters C, K, B indicate the type of cast iron: gray, malleable, high-strength. The number indicates the cast iron number. Chromium, nickel, copper, and titanium are used to alloy antifriction cast irons.
Heat-resistant and heat-resistant cast irons
They are designated by a set of capital letters of the Russian alphabet and the letters following them. The letter "C" is cast iron.
The letter “Ш” at the end of the mark means the spherical shape of graphite. The remaining letters indicate alloying elements, and the numbers following them correspond to their percentage content in the cast iron.
Heat-resistant cast irons are used for the manufacture of parts for contact devices of chemical equipment operating in gas environments at temperatures of 900-110000C.

Brands and general technical requirements
Depending on the purpose, steel is divided into three groups:
- A - supplied according to mechanical properties;
- B - supplied according to chemical composition;
- B - supplied according to mechanical properties and chemical composition. Depending on the standardized indicators, steel of each group is divided into categories:
- groups A - 1, 2, 3;
- groups B - 1, 2;
- Groups B - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Note. These categories do not apply to steel with a thickness of less than 4 mm. Steel is produced in the following grades:
- groups A - St0, St1, St2, St3, St4, St5, St6;
- Group B - BSt0, BSt1, Bst2, BST3, Bst4, BSt5, BST6;
- Groups B - VSt1, Vst2, VSt3. VSt4, VSt5, Steel of all groups with grade numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the degree of deoxidation is produced boiling, semi-calm and calm. Semi-quiet steel with grade numbers 1–5 is produced with normal and increased manganese content. Steel grades St0 and BSt0 are not distinguished by the degree of deoxidation. Steel grades VSt1, VSt2, VSt3 of all categories and all degrees of deoxidation, including with a high content of manganese, and at the request of the customer, steel grades BSt1, BSt2, BSt3 of the second category of all degrees of deoxidation, including with a high content of manganese, are supplied with a guarantee of weldability. The supply of group B steel with a guarantee of weldability is specified in the order and in the certificate. Steel with a carbon content in the finished product of more than 0.22% is used for welded structures under welding conditions that ensure the reliability of the welded joint.
