This document specifies an order for listing elements within the chemical composition of steels and most other iron-based alloys, excluding foundry irons. NOTE This document has been developed and is used by ISO/TC 17/SC 4, but can also be used by other ISO/TC 17 subcommittees.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 6306:2020 specifies a standardized order for listing elements in the chemical composition of steels and most other iron‑based alloys (excluding foundry irons). Developed by ISO/TC 17/SC 4, the document addresses inconsistent element sequences across standards and supports clearer, more interoperable steel specifications and computerized data exchange.

Key principles in the standard include reporting units, grouping of elements, and presentation rules for chemical-composition tables.

Key Topics

Element groups and preferred sequence
- Group 1 (primary listing): C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni, Mo, N - identified as the most important elements in many steels and alloys.
- Group 2 (others): Any element not in Group 1 or Group 3, arranged alphabetically by chemical symbol when multiple elements are reported. Common examples: Al, As, B, Co, Cu, Nb, Pb, Sn, Ti, V, W, Zr.
- Group 3: Hydrogen (H) is reserved as the final entry.
Units and presentation
- With the exception of hydrogen, elements are reported in % mass fraction.
- Hydrogen is reported in mg/kg mass fraction.
- Maximum values in composition tables shall be shown directly (without “max.” or “≤”); a table footnote should state: “Maximum values unless indicated otherwise.”
Number formatting (digits)
- The standard defines the number of digits to the right of the decimal according to concentration ranges:
  - Up to and excluding 0,010 %: 0,xxxx (or H in mg/kg)
  - 0,010 % up to and excluding 0,10 %: 0,xxx
  - 0,10 % to 3,00 %: x,xx
  - Over 3,0 %: x,x
- Carbon exception: for C over 0,030 % up to and excluding 0,10 %, use 0,xx digits.

Applications

Ensuring consistent presentation of chemical compositions across international steel standards and specifications.
Facilitating accurate storage, retrieval and automated processing of steel composition data in databases and CAD/PDM systems.
Harmonizing tables in normative documents, material data sheets, certificates of analysis and procurement documentation.
Reducing ambiguity and administrative cost when combining data from multiple standards or suppliers.

ISO 6306:2020 is a procedural standard focused on presentation and data interoperability rather than metallurgical properties. Applying its rules helps organizations produce clearer, machine‑friendly steel composition tables and consistent international documentation.
