The right description is CAST STEEL DIN 1681 GS-38 or CAST STEEL DIN 1681-1.0420
| Steel Grade | Material Number | Carbon % | Manganese % | Silicon % | P % | S % | Cr % | Mo % | Ni % | V % | Cu % |
| GS-38 | 1.0420 | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – | – |
The proportion of carbon by mass determined in the cast analysis, and also in the product analysis, at the points intended for fabrication welds shall not exceed 0.25% for cast steel grade GS-38 and GS-45.
| Steel Grade | Material Number | Heat Treatment | Reduction of area after fracture % | Tensile Strength Rm Mpa | Upper Yield Rp0.2, Mpa | Elongation after fracture (L0=5 d0) % A | Impact Strength KV J |
| GS-38 | 1.0420 | +N | 40% | 380 | 200 | 25 | 35 |
1. The testing ambient room temperature.
2. 1MPa=1 N/mm2 https://castingquality.com/casting-technology/casting-material/carbon-steels/carbon-steel-gs38.html
3. “+N” means: Normalizing; +QT or +QT1 or +QT2 means: Quenching(air or liquid) and Tempering.
4. The Yield strength values at room temperature to 0.2% proof strength.
5. The value for Reduction are not relevant for acceptance.
6. Inspact determined from three individual values in each case.
| Steel Grade | Material number | Minimum magnetic 2.5kA/m | Minimum magnetic 5.0kA/m | Minimum magnetic 10.0kA/m |
| GS-38 | 1.0420 | 1.45 | 1.60 | 1.75 |
1. Magnetic properties by agreement at the inquiry and order only.
