Alloy Steel 18CrNiMo7-6/17CrNiMo6/1.6587

Alloy Steel 18CrNiMo7-6/17CrNiMo6/1.6587

18CrNiMo7-6 is a case hardening steel with high toughness. There are a number of variants with high cleanliness requirements. All variants  possess tighter composition ranges compared to the standard. One variant is produced with the quality class IQ (isotropic quality). This ensures a very low number of elongated sulphide inclusions which will give more isotropic properties. The high oxidic cleanliness will enable the steel to meet the same high cleanliness demands as for re-melted qualities.
