SURFACE VEHICLE STANDARD J404 JAN2009 Issued Revised 1911-06 2009-01 Superseding J404 JUN2000 Chemical Compositions of SAE Alloy Steels RATIONALE Scope – Deleted reference to SAE J404 not being applicable to certain product forms. Table 1 – Revised table title and column headings. Fixed errors in table for following grades: 50B46 – added Chromium range, 8615 – revised Carbon range. Added new grade of 52100. Revised Footnotes and added Footnotes 4, 6 and 7. 1. SCOPE In 1941, the SAE Iron and Steel Division in collaboration with the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) made a major change in the method of expressing composition ranges for the SAE steels. The plan, as now applied, is based in general on narrower ladle analysis ranges plus certain product (check) analysis allowances on individual samples, in place of the fixed ranges and limits without tolerances formerly provided for carbon and other elements in SAE steels (reference SAE J408). ISTC Division 1 has developed a procedure which allows for the maintenance of the grade list in this SAE Standard. This will involve conducting an industry-wide survey to solicit input. This survey will be conducted at a frequency deemed necessary by the technical committee. Criteria have been established for the addition to or deletion of grades from the grade table. A new grade will be considered if it meets standard SAE grade ranges, has a minimum usage or production of 225 tonnes/year (250 tons/year), and has the endorsement of at least two users or producers. New steel compositions will still be considered as Potential Standard (PS) steels, based on the guidelines provided in SAE J1081, until such time as production of the new steel achieves a level of production or usage qualifying it for consideration as a standard steel. The deletion of a grade from the grade table will be by consensus based on the grade survey results. Deleted grades will be archived in SAE J1249 for future reference. The compositions in this document may apply to open hearth and basic oxygen, or electric furnace steels. Grades shown in Table 1 with prefix letter E are normally made by the electric furnace process with maximum limits of 0.025% phosphorus and 0.025% sulfur. The nominal chemical limits or ranges in the compositions given in Table 1 are subject to standard variations in check analysis given in SAE J409. Since AISI is no longer issuing steel grade designations, all grades listed in this document are SAE grades. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SAE Technical Standards Board Rules provide that: “This report is published by SAE to advance the state of technical and engineering sciences.

For standard variations in composition limits, see Table 3 of SAE J409. Small quantities of certain elements which are not specified or required may be found in alloy steels. These elements are to be considered as incidental and are acceptable to the following maximum amounts: Element Cu Ni Cr Mo 0.35% max 0.25% max 0.20% max 0.06% max 2. 3. 4. 5. Electric furnace steel. Boron content is 0.0005 to 0.003%. When agreed by purchaser and supplier, other silicon ranges are permitted. Lead - Alloy steels can be produced with a lead addition of 0.15 to 0.35% to improve machinability. Such steels are identified by inserting the letter “L” between the second and third numerals of the grade number, for example, 51L40. 6. Table 1 lists default values for Phosphorus and Sulfur, Alternate levels shall be agreed upon between purchaser and supplier. Typical values for Flat Roll products: P = 0.030 max, S = 0.035 max. Typical values for ASTM Long Product: P = 0.040 max, S = 0.050 max 7. ELEMENTS TO BE REPORTED: The elements listed in the table below shall be reported regardless of whether they are specified: ELEMENTS TO BE REPORTED (1) (2) (1) (1) (1) (1) (2) (2) (2) C, Mn, P, S, Si , Al , Cu , Ni , Cr , Mo , Nb (Cb) , Ti , V , B, N 1. When the amount of any one of these elements is less than 0.02%, that analysis may be reported as “<0.02%.” 2. When the amount of these elements is less than 0.008%, that analysis may be reported as “<0.008%.”. 3. If specified by purchaser, As and Sb are to be reported. SAE J404 Revised JAN2009 Page 5 of 6 4. NOTES 4.1 Marginal Indicia A change bar (I) located in the left margin is for the convenience of the user in locating areas where technical revisions, not editorial changes, have been made to the previous issue of this document. An (R) symbol to the left of the document title indicates a complete revision of the document, including technical revisions. Change bars and (R) are not used in original publications, nor in documents that contain editorial changes only. SAE IRON AND STEEL TECHNICAL COMMITTEE DIVISION 1—CARBON AND ALLOY STEELS SAE J404 Revised JAN2009 Page 6 of 6 DISCLAIMER Previous versions of this Standard have sometimes listed different chemistry ranges for the same steel grade depending on the product form. These differences in chemistry ranges between different product forms reflected steelmaking capability at the time. As an outcome of last SAE industry wide grade steel survey it was agreed that chemistry ranges for various product forms should be harmonized into one chemistry for each grade. This change simplifies the steel grade tables in the standard and better represents the current improved chemistry capability of steel producers In some cases, however this has resulted in more restrictive chemistry ranges for some product forms e.g. sheet products, which traditionally have permitted wider tolerances. As a consequence, some products which conformed to the previous standards are now out of compliance with this new current version. To address this issue, Division 1 – Technical Committee agreed that until the next planned review of this standard, both the past standard (SAE J403-Nov01 or SAE J404-Nov01) and the current Standard shall apply. Thus any material which conforms to EITHER the Past or the Current versions shall be considered to be in compliance with the standard. This deviation shall apply only until the next revision of the standard is published -- expected to be issued no later than 2014.
