Applications

High-end / niche grade used in aerospace, defense, tooling, bearing, gear or heavy shaft applications.

Available Forms

Bar, plate, sheet, tube, forgings, strip, wire, powder

Uses

Low-alloy engineering steel with enhanced hardenability and strength from alloying elements. Chromium (≈1.9%) improves hardenability, wear and corrosion resistance. Molybdenum (≈0.5%) raises high-temperature strength and prevents temper embrittlement. Nickel (≈2%) increases toughness and impact strength at low temperature. Vanadium (≈0.1%) refines grain and strengthens the tempered structure. Applied to gears, shafts, bolts, connecting rods, pressure parts and heavy forgings in automotive, energy and machinery sectors.

Heat Treatment

Typically normalized (880–920 °C, air cool) or carburized (900–930 °C) for case-hardening grades, then quenched and tempered at 150–200 °C.

Precautions

Weldable with standard procedures; preheat may be needed for thick sections or higher-carbon/ alloy grades. Protect from decarburization during heating (controlled atmosphere or protective coating).
