Fe is the basis.
In accordance with GOST 19265-73 at the request of the consumer, steel is produced with nitrogen doping, with a mass fraction in the range of 0.05-0.10%. In this case the steel has the designation P6AM5.
According to TU 14-1-818-73 the chemical composition is given for steel grade P6M5. The presence of cobalt to 0.60% is not a sign of acceptance. Deviations in chemical composition are allowed: for nickel +0,050%, for phosphorus +0,0050%.
