This datasheet reports on physical properties and performance characteristics of manganese-chromium steels, indicating their utility in manufacturing durable components.
Abstract 16MnCr5 and 16MnCrS5 are wrought low-carbon, manganese-chromium low-alloy steels that are typically used in the carburized or carbonitrided, and subsequently quench-hardened and tempered condition. Generally, these steels are intended for manufacturing small and medium-sized case-hardened parts that require high hardness, a high-carbon martensitic case with good wear and fatigue resistance, and a strong and tough low-carbon steel core. 16MnCr5 and 16MnCrS5 can also be used in the nitrided or nitrocarburized condition. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as casting, forming, and heat treating. Filing Code: SA-882. Producer or source: Heat Treater’s Guide Data Sheet.
