QUENCHED AND TEMPERED

DESCRIPTION/APPLICATIONS

Quench and tempering special CrV steel, equivalent to 50CrV4 standardized according to UNI 7874/7845, characterized by high tensile strength and medium/low toughness. It is suitable to the manufacture of components of maximum thickness equal to 50 mm meanly or strongly stressed (shafts, rollers, guide rollers, axles, levers, connecting rods, rocker arms). It lends itself in an optimum way to the manufacturing of springs, torsion bars, leaf springs. To improve the workability WELDABILITY : CRITICAL at the machines tools it can be booked with the addition of Ca or re-sulphurized (S0,1%). The use of re-sulphurized steels involves a worsening of the tensile strength characteristics along the transversal, of the impact strength and of the ADVISED WELDING PROCESSES fatigue strength.
