Uncompromising quality

42CrMo4 (EN 10083-3)

 

PROPERTIES AND EMPLOYEMENTS
IT IS THE MOST USED QUENCHED AND TEMPERED STEEL THANKS TO THE GREAT RELATIONSHIP CHARACTERISTICS/COSTS.
IT HAS AN ELEVATED HARDENABILITY, GOOD HEAT RESISTANCE, EXCELLENT FORGING AND GOOD MACHINABILITY WITH MACHINE TOOLS. IT CAN BE HARDENED ON THE SURFACE OR NITRITED IN ORDER TO ELEVATE THE WEAR RESISTANCE AND THE FATIGUE STRENGTH.
QUENCHED AND TEMPERED AND NITRITED GEARS CAN SUBSTITUTE THE CASE-HARDENED AND HARDENED ONES, IF THEY ARE NOT SUBMITTED TO TOO ELEVATED PRESSURE.
