General Information
40NiCrMo7-3 is a quench and tempering steel with high toughness. Used for large axles, machine componenets etc. that require high tensile strength and high toughness. Can be flame or induction hardened.
6514 in intended for ASTM A320 L43 fasteners in low-temperature service.
Ovako 355B The grade is inside the SAE 4340 specification but is slightly enhanced with Vanadium for improved tempering resistance. The grade has a low controlled sulphur content to ensure machinability yet with a high sulphidic cleanliness. Oxygen content is kept low for high oxidic cleanliness. The steel is of Bearing Quality cleanliness (BQ).
Through hardenability corresponding to a bar with approx. Ø100mm (oil quenching)
Delivered in as-rolled, soft annealed, normalized or quench and tempered condition
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.
