LY12

Other

LY12 / 十二号硬铝,

Applications

Bar, Plate, Tube, Forging

Available Forms

Low-alloy engineering steel with enhanced hardenability and strength from alloying elements. Nickel (≈0.1%) increases toughness and impact strength at low temperature. Applied to gears, shafts, bolts, connecting rods, pressure parts and heavy forgings in automotive, energy and machinery sectors.

Uses

Austenitize at 760–820 °C and quench (oil/water) then temper at 150–400 °C for high hardness; spheroidize anneal (680–720 °C) improves machinability of the as-rolled bar.

Heat Treatment

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).
