Applications

A commonly used engineering steel 826M40W is suitable for applications that require a higher tensile than 817M40T. Typical applications include pins, rams, turbine discs, torsion bars, gears, shafts and spindles.

Carbon 0.36-0.44% Nickel 2.30-2.80%
Manganese 0.45-0.70% Chromium 0.50-0.80%
Silicon 0.10-0.35% Molybdenum 0.45-0.65%
Phosphorous 0.035% max
Sulphur 0.040% max

To forge pre heat the 826M40 carefully, then raise the temperature to 1150-1200°C and hold at temperature until thoroughly soaked and suitable to forge. Do not forge below 850°C. After forging the 826M40 should be cooled slowly.

Heat the steel slowly to 790-840°C. Hold until the temperature is uniform throughout the steel. Cool in a furnace.

826M40W is supplied ready heat treated. If further heat treatment is required annealed 826M40 should be heated to 820-850°C and hold until the temperature is uniform through the section. Quench the 826M40 steel in oil, water or polymer as required.

826M40 can be flame or induction hardened to achieve a good surface hardness.

Heat the 826M40 component to the required tempering temperature between 450°/660°C and thoroughly soak for two hours per 25mm thickness of section, cool in still air.

(*subject to ruling section)

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 the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of 826M40 alloy steel.

826M40W alloy steel is available with a cast and analysis certificate or a BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please request when placing any orders.

826M40W is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001:2015 registration.
