General Information
23NiCrMo15-5* is a case hardening steel with a high hardenability also suitable for Q&T. It is well suited for demanding
applications where high strength and high toughness is required.
• High hardenability
• Excellent toughness
• High wear resistance as carburized
• Delivered as rolled, normalized or annealed.
256A With a reduced controlled sulphur content to reduce the number of sulphide inclusions but ensure consistent machinability (BQ)
256G With a controlled sulphur content to ensure consistent machinability
* Designation followed by "*" is not an official EN standard grade but named according to the rules in EN 10027.
BQ-Steel®
BQ-Steel® is a bearing quality clean steel optimized for fatigue strength and is also ideal for new design solutions outside the bearing industry.
