16MnCr5 Case Hardening Steel
16MnCr5 steel are alloyed case hardening engineering steels for parts which require core tensile strength of 800 – 1100 N/mm² and good wearing resistance. It is an engineering material typically used to manufacture piston bolts, camshafts, levers and other vehicle and mechanical engineering components.

Applications
DIN 16MnCr5|1.7131 steel is widely used for a variety of applications in the used to gearings in rotating machinery. Typical applications such as valve bodies, pumps, and fittings, the high load of the wheel, bolts, double-headed bolts, gears, internal combustion engine. Electric locomotives, machine tools, tractors, steel rolling equipment, boring machine, railway vehicle, and mining machinery transmission shaft on the steel ball, roller and shaft sleeve, etc
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.
