16MnCr5 Alloy steel

16MnCr5 is an alloyed case hardening steel used for  mechanical engineering components.The steel can be M-treated in order to optimize the machinability.16MnCr5 steel is equivalent to 16CrMnH steel, which has better hardenability and machinability. For larger cross-section parts, higher surface hardness and wear resistance can be obtained after heat treatment, and the low-temperature impact toughness is also higher. 16MnCr5 gear steel is used after carburizing and quenching. It is mainly used to manufacture gears, worms, seal sleeves and other parts.It is a MnCr alloy steel, easily hot machinable and weldable. It has a low hardenability and therefore it can show good core features till thicknesses of about 20 mm.
