speicial high qulity steel P≤0.025%,S≤0.020%
② 08 steel with aluminum deoxidation smelting killed steel, the lower limit of manganese content is 0.25%, silicon content is not more than 0.03%, aluminum content is 0.02%~0.07%, this time the steel grade is 08Al
③ Upon agreement between supply and demand parties, 08~25 steel can be supplied as semi-killed steel with silicon content not exceeding 0.17%, with the grade designations of 08b~25b.
④ Steel produced from scrap metal may have a copper content of no more than 0.30%; the copper content in steel for hot-pressure processing should not exceed 0.20%.
⑤ The silicon content of the rimming steels which used for cold pressing shall be not more
than 0.03%.
