20MnCr5 Steel – Durable, High-Strength Case-Hardening Alloy

If you are looking for a dependable steel supplier that meets international standards and delivers exceptional quality, your search ends here.

What is 20MnCr5 Steel?

20MnCr5 steel is a chromium-enriched alloy designed for case-hardening applications. It is highly regarded for its ability to combine a hard, wear-resistant surface with a tough, impact-resistant core. This makes it a preferred choice for components subjected to high loads, stress, and friction.

Key Features of 20MnCr5 Steel:

1. Core Strength: Ensures tensile strength ranging from 1000 to 1300 N/mm².
2. Exceptional Durability: Handles both static and dynamic stress effectively.
3. Case Hardening Capability: Achieves customizable surface hardness through carburizing or carbonitriding.
4. Machinability: Excellent machinability for ease of processing in various forms.
5. Versatility: Widely used across multiple industries due to its superior properties.

What Makes 20MnCr5 Unique?

The addition of Chromium enhances its wear resistance and core toughness. The steel’s ability to undergo advanced heat treatments like carburizing and tempering ensures that it remains durable in the most demanding conditions.
