EN 10083-3:2006 33MnCrB5-2 Steel: Specifications & Listings
EN 10083-3:2006 33MnCrB5-2: A manganese chromium boron alloy steel for quenching and tempering to EN 10083-3:2006 (steel number 1.7185). Supplied as semi-finished products, bars, rod, wide flats, hot rolled strip, sheet and plate, and forgings. Quenched and tempered tensile strength 1050 to 1300 MPa for ruling sections up to 16 mm.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.

Improved machinability
Sulphur up to about 0.10 may be supplied on request; the manganese upper limit may then rise by 0.15 (Table 3, footnote c)
Boron
Added for its effect on hardenability (Table 3, footnote a)
Elements not quoted in Table 3 are not intentionally added without the purchaser's agreement, other than for finishing the heat. With hardenability or quenched and tempered property requirements, slight deviations within Table 4 are permitted except for carbon, phosphorus and sulphur.

Re is the upper yield strength or, if no yield phenomenon occurs, the 0.2% proof strength; A on gauge length 5.65 times the root of the original cross section; KV on longitudinal Charpy V-notch test pieces, average of 3 values, no single value below 70% of the minimum. Ruling sections as in EN 10083-1:2006, Annex A. Sizes not listed are not covered by the standard.
