Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hardness after case hardening of 16MnCr5?
After case hardening, Alloy Steel 1.7131 | 16MnCr5 reaches a surface hardness of up to 60 HRC. This makes it very wear-resistant with a hard, shock-absorbing core.
Is it possible to purchase small amounts of 1.7131 steel bar online?
Yes, we are capable of selling small and bulk amounts of 1.7131 steel.
Offer flexible sizes, including ordering online or requesting a quote, and delivery.
Do you recommend CNC machining 16MnCr5?
Indeed, it has remarkable machinability and dimensional stability due to its low carbon core and alloy composition.
It is ideal in CNC turning, milling, and then case hardened to have high surface strength.
Is 16MnCr5 alloy steel weldable?
Sure, 16MnCr5 alloy steel can be welded, yet prescribed preheating and subsequent post-weld heat treatment have to be done to prevent the cracking problem as well as to maintain the mechanical properties of the material. A welding specialist should always be consulted where your application fits in.
What is the availability of sizes of 1.7131 steel bars?
We supply 1.7131 steel bars in a large variety of sizes and lengths, including both small precision rounds and wide engineering bars. CNC-machined profiles outside of standard sizes are also available on order.
