Cost: charge at stock prices plus energy, lining and conversion from furnace data; lines and totals are in the response.

Stock without FeCr

Input: same stock, no ferrochrome

The stock cannot make 40X: Cr is short by 0.8062%, expected 0.0388% against a minimum of 0.8%. The engine says what is missing instead of “no solution”.

Status: stock falls short
Cr: short by: 0.8062 %
Cr: expected: 0.0388 %
Cr: grade field: 0.8–1.1 %

ImportantCr: short by 0.8062% — the stock cannot cover it.
ImportantCr: 0.0388 < 0.8% — outside the grade 40X tolerance field.

This is not a charge for the furnace: limits are broken on purpose to show the shortfall. The fix is a carrier of the element in stock — ferrochrome or pure chromium.

Assumptions, warnings and sources

Warnings

Mediumtempering at 550 °C is in the reversible temper-embrittlement range with molybdenum below 0.20%: after tempering cool in water or oil, not with the furnace.

Assumptions

Properties depend not on composition alone but on composition, route and section together; without a route, strength and hardness are not predicted.
Every prediction is an empirical model with an interval and a validity range; outside the range the number is computed but must not be relied on.
Austenitizing and normalizing: Ac3 by Andrews plus 30…50 °C; tempering: a Hollomon–Jaffe grid; where models are out of range, grade-book routes with a source.
Grade 40X limits come from the alloygen grade book via secondary sources (GOST 4543-2016, table 1); not checked against the official text — pilot, under review.
Composition used: the middle of the 40X tolerance field.

Heat passport

Input: no sample analysis

Without a sample analysis it is only a draft passport for 40X: the calculated composition is in the field for 8 of 8 specified elements.

Document: draft
Certificate: no

What a passport needs

the ladle or product sample analysis of this heat: heat number, date, sample type, method, laboratory, instrument, manufacturer, a signatory independent of production, and all specified elements (C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni, Cu)
the text of EN 10204 — to check the document form

Notean induction furnace does not lower hydrogen: [H] is set by charge moisture and atmosphere and is not predicted; the safe level for large forgings is 2 ppm, reached at equilibrium only at pH2 ≤ 7.24 mbar (5.72…9.84) at 1599 °C — that is vacuum. For a large forging: vacuum degassing or anti-flake treatment; no section threshold was found in open sources — the foundry sets it.

Assumptions

A passport is issued only from the actual sample analysis of this heat within the tolerance field; without a sample it is a draft stamped “not a certificate”.
Property forecasts never go into the passport: with no test report the line reads “not tested”.
The document form is not checked against EN 10204: the standard was not bought, fields come from open descriptions.

What is not verified yet — we say so

The engine adds these warnings to every answer until the cause is fixed. A calculation on reference coefficients looks exactly like one on calibrated ones, so we do not hide them.

GRADE_SECONDARY_SOURCE
Grade limits
Checked against secondary sources, not a purchased copy of the GOST/DSTU text. Not enough for a certificate — the pilot runs as “a calculation is a forecast”.
RECOVERY_UNCALIBRATED
Your furnace's recovery
A reference value for now. Once your furnace has a history of expected vs actual heats, the engine calibrates it itself.
PRICE_UNSOURCED
Charge prices and tariff
Without a price list or invoice the cost is a demo. Add a dated price and the warning goes away.
PASSPORT_FORM_UNVERIFIED
Passport form
Fields come from open descriptions of EN 10204; the standard has not been bought yet. Without a sample analysis a passport is always a draft.

Questions from metallurgists

Do you store our stock and prices?

No. Stock, furnace and target come with every request; between requests the service keeps only the call log of your key. The database holds only a hash of the key.

What if the stock cannot make the grade?

The engine does not answer “no solution”. It solves the problem elastically and says what is missing: in the example without ferrochrome, grade 40X is short of Cr by 0.8062%, and the stock has no carrier of that element.

Is the heat passport a certificate?

No. Without an actual sample analysis it is only a draft stamped “not a certificate”. With a sample analysis inside the field it is a candidate for an EN 10204 3.1 document, but the form is still being checked: pilot, under review.

How accurate are property predictions?

Every number comes with a model interval and a validity flag. Where no model exists (creep, impact toughness of alloy steels), the engine refuses and says what to use instead.

How much does it cost?

On request: plans are not set yet. The pilot runs on your foundry's data, terms are agreed separately.
