General Information
21CrMoV5-7 is a steel for fasteners with specified elevated and/or low temperature properties. 6132, also known as Imanite, has been designed for nitriding, giving similar hardness distribution as case hardening. When using nitriding the distortion due to quenching after carburising can be avoided. 6132 is a M-steel version of 21CrMoV5-7 . M-treatment is very beneficial when the machining is done in Q&T condition and the hardness is about 300 HBW.
M-Steel®
The basis for the concept is that non-metallic inclusions are modified and controlled with calcium treatment in a way to minimize tool wear and to maximize chip control in machining operations. Our M-Steel treatment can be applied to any steel grade.
