16HG/1.7131/16MnCr5

CARBURISING STEEL

NORM: PN/EN 10084

APPLICATION:

Alloyed case hardening steel for parts which require high core tensil strength and high hardness. Susceptible to the small seized parts with medium wearing resistance and average loading such as: gears, screws, bolts, bushing and camshafts.

TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

Steel adjusted for cutting with a cutting machine. The carburising temperature range can be higher than provided in the file (depending on the carburising process)

SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS:

Steel adjusted for cutting with a cutting machine. The carburising temperature range can be higher than provided in the file (depending on the carburising process)

Technological treatment processes:

Technological treatment processes Possible application Temperature, °C
Hot forming Forging + 1150 – 850
Rolling + 1150 – 850
Thermochemical treatment Carburising + 880 – 980
Carbonitriding + 860 – 950
Heat treatment Annealing Normalising + 870 – 910
Soft annealing + 650 – 700
Heat treatment after carburising1) Core hardening + 860 – 900
Intermediate annealing + 670 – 720
Case hardening + 780 – 820
Tempering + 150–200
1) If possible, hardening has to be performed with the temperature equal or close to the heat treatment temperature
