Characteristics
1. Better tensile strength and percentage of elongation
than chromium steels.
2. Combine with Cr and Mo, high hardenability, good
resistance to tempered -softening.
3. Good strength and toughness

Application
Gear shaft screw winch nut bobbin




Heat Treatment
1. Annealing Heat to approx. 830 , furnace cooling.
2. Normalizing : Heat to approx.830~880 , air cooling.
3. Quench: (1) Heat to 840~870 , oil cooling.
4. Tempering: Heat to approx. 550~650 , water cooling.
