20MnCr5 1.7147 SAE 5120 Case Hardening Steel
20MnCr5 DIN1.7147 SAE5120 Case Hardening Steel
1 20MnCr5 Applications
it is a case-hardening steel with low carbon content but good hardenability reaching good wear resistance due to high surface hardness after hardening. The small grain size benefits in good ductility and fatigue strength.
Alloyed case hardening steel for parts with a required core tensile strength of 1000 – 1300 N/mm² and good wearing resistance as boxes, piston bolts, spindles, camshafts, gears, shafts and other mechanical controlling parts.
