Case-hardening steel grades are unalloyed or low-alloy steel grades. The carbon content is between 0,1 – 0,2 %. Case hardening steel is therefore well suited for case hardening. In addition to our sheets, you can also obtain flame-cut parts or ready-to-install components from us. We look forward to your inquiry!
Case hardening steel grades (as per EN 10084) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qualities | Thicknesses (mm) | Widths (mm) | Lengths (mm) | Inspection certificates acc. to DIN EN 10204 |
| 16MnCr5 | 3 – 150 | 1.000 – 3.000 | to 12.000 | 3.1 |
| 20MnCr5 | 8 – 150 | 2.000 – 3.000 | to 12.000 | 3.1 |
Case hardening creates a hard surface layer with a tough core. The surface of the steel is therefore hard and resistant and is characterized by very good wear resistance. Case hardening is carried out in the following steps: Carburizing, hardening and tempering. Due to its properties, case-hardening steel is mainly used in the mechanical engineering industry. For example, we manufacture the following components from case-hardening steel: gear wheels, bolts, gear shafts, joints and camshafts. In order for these components to withstand their intended use, the surface must be wear-resistant, the steel must be highly resilient and the core Steel grades must still be tough.
