16MnCr5 steel suppliers, delivering to the whole of the UK. 16MnCr5 is a low alloy chromium, manganese case hardening steel, available as full bar lengths or cut pieces with delivery to the whole of the UK. When carburised this steel grade gives a hard case with a strong core whilst retaining a degree of toughness. It is suited for applications which require a combination of toughness and wear resistance and is commonly supplied in round bar. As an alternative, 20MnCr5 is also available in a limited range of diameters, please contact our sales team for further details.

16MnCr5 is held on stock and can be delivered throughout the UK. All orders are supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001 accreditation.

Analysis

Carbon	0.14-0.19%	Chromium	0.80-1.10%
Silicon	0.40% max	Manganese	1.00-1.30%
Sulphur	0.035% max	Phosphorous	0.035% max

Carburising / Case Hardening

Case hardening will give a hard wear resisting surface combined with a tough core strength. Case hardening temperatures range from 780-820°C, followed by rapid quenching and tempering which will determine the resulting hardness.

Heat Treatment

When hardening 16MnCr5 heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each steel component. Other considerations during heat treatment include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult a heat treatment specialist for full guidance on heat treatment of 16MNCr5 steel.

Certification

16MnCr5 case hardening steel is available with BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please request with our sales department when placing any orders.
