Materials / Editorial review

170 existing content pages, individually reviewed.

169 material references and one comparison article retain their URLs. Shared condition guidance is centralized; distinct grades are not merged into apparent equivalents.

11 records contain specific property examples; 157 provide identity/state references; 1 require a more precise identity. These are different evidence scopes.

13-8 Mo Stainless →

Retain and rewrite. The reviewed N709 VIM+VAR product is 13-8Mo/XM13; its remelting route is separate from its aging condition.

  • Remove generic H1000 strength/hardness without the actual section and heat-treatment certificate.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (34–40 HRC (H1000)) and tensile-strength (1,380 MPa (200 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.
  • Remove the unsupported cutting-speed table and machinability percentage; select tooling only after the actual material condition is known.

15-5 PH →

Retain and rewrite. N701 identifies 15-5PH as EN 1.4545; it must not inherit the EN designation of a different PH stainless alloy.

  • Correct the legacy 1.4540/X5CrNiCuNb16-4 mapping: the cited 15-5PH product is 1.4545/X5CrNiCu15-5.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (277–363 HB (H900)) and tensile-strength (1,310 MPa (190 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

17-4 PH →

Retain and rewrite. A martensitic precipitation-hardening grade: solution-treated Condition A and aged H900/H1150-type conditions are different purchase/use states.

  • Replace the generic 28–38 HRC statement with the actual aging condition; do not pair Condition A hardness with aged tensile strength.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (28–38 HRC) and tensile-strength (1,310 MPa (190 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

17-7 PH →

Retain and rewrite. Semi-austenitic precipitation-hardening steel: Condition A routes such as TH1050/RH950 differ from the cold-rolled Condition C to CH900 route.

  • Correct the old mixture of annealed 90 HRB and TH1050 tensile strength; these are not one delivered material state.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (90 HRB (annealed)) and tensile-strength (1,380 MPa (200 ksi) (TH1050)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

2205 Duplex →

Retain and rewrite. 2205 describes a duplex grade family. The purchase must identify the certified UNS designation and solution-treated condition; a common name alone does not prove both S31803 and S32205 compliance.

  • Remove the unsupported “twice as hard on tooling” rule. Do not transcribe the apparent carbon decimal typo in the supplier PDF; this review makes no chemistry table from that field.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (290 HB (max)) and tensile-strength (620 MPa (90 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

2507 Super Duplex →

Retain and rewrite. SAF 2507 is the cited superduplex product. Distinguish the certified S32750 product and condition from ordinary 2205.

  • Remove the unsupported claim that 2507 necessarily has more ferrite than 2205 and the fixed machining multiplier.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (290–330 HB) and tensile-strength (800 MPa (116 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

Retain and rewrite. The cited seamless tube/pipe data separate wall thickness below and above 5 mm. The manufacturer calls 1.4529 a nearest equivalent, not an identical designation.

  • Retain S31254/1.4547 identity; do not present 1.4529 as exact equivalence or apply thin-wall tube strengths to all bar/plate products.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (95 HRB) and tensile-strength (650 MPa (94 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

300M Steel →

Retain and rewrite. 300M is a modified 4340 aerospace steel; the producer lists a remelted product route. It is not a drop-in name for ordinary 4340.

  • Remove the universal 1930 MPa strength and automatic 1.6928 equivalence; retain the 300M-specific procurement identity.

430F Stainless →

Retain and rewrite. 430F is a free-machining ferritic grade; solenoid-quality and other specially controlled variants need their own product identity.

  • Remove assumed equality with generic 430 and with every 1.4104 product; do not use a solenoid-quality result as a base-grade guarantee.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (85 HRB) and tensile-strength (480 MPa (70 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

904L Stainless →

Retain and rewrite. 2RK65 billets are a specific 904L product. The source warns that tube-derived elevated-temperature proof values are only indicative for billets.

  • Remove guaranteed billet high-temperature properties inferred from tube tests; acid resistance must retain medium, concentration and temperature.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (70–90 HRB) and tensile-strength (490 MPa (71 ksi)) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

A2 Tool Steel →

Retain and rewrite. Rigor is a documented A2/1.2363 product. Its soft-annealed delivery state is distinct from a finished hardened cold-work tool.

  • Remove the unsupported generic annealed tensile number and the unqualified finished hardness.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (210–240 HB (annealed)) and tensile-strength (1,860 MPa (270 ksi) hardened) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

A286 Stainless →

Retain and rewrite. A286 is an austenitic precipitation-hardenable iron-based alloy; solution treatment and aging must be distinguished from ordinary 300-series annealing.

  • Do not pair annealed hardness with aged tensile strength or treat A286 as an ordinary austenitic stainless machining state.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (150–200 HB (annealed)) and tensile-strength (1,200 MPa (175 ksi) aged) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.

  • Remove the unqualified 275 MPa/70 HB T6 result and any inference that ingot chemistry guarantees finished casting strength.
  • Remove the untraceable generic machining recommendation (200 %) and cutting-speed ranges; select machining data by actual material condition, tool and operation.

Retain and rewrite. A different tin-content bronze is a different designation; spring properties depend on the actual cold-work condition.

  • Remove the loose suggestion that 4% or 8% tin variants are interchangeable C51000 and the unsupported 120% rating.
  • Remove the untraceable generic machining recommendation (120 %) and cutting-speed ranges; select machining data by actual material condition, tool and operation.

  • Remove unsupported rankings of S5 versus S7 hardenability and unconditional final hardness.
  • Withdraw the legacy generic hardness (192–229 HB (annealed)) and tensile-strength (1,720 MPa (250 ksi) hardened) pair: the old page does not establish a matching product, heat treatment, section and test source.
