Identify a material

Identify a material

Identify a material

(OP)
I received a sample of a metal. Then I analysed with and I got following results.



pLease help me to identify this material.

I found this:Stainless Steel 405
Fe-85,Al-0.2,C-0.08(max),Cr-13,Mn-1(max),P-0.04(max),S-0.03(max),Si-1(max)

is it matching with this sample?

RE: Identify a material

It is a lower grade 400 series alloy.
I presume that these are for the same sample run against different standards programs.
It is apparent that the analysis programs don't have the correct standards to cover this chemistry range.
Likely it is some variation of a 405/410/420 alloy.
