1.6511 40NiCrMo7

 

This grade is a medium-carbon, constructional, special steel, can be nitrided to improve wear and galling resistance or fatigue properties. This steel does not age harden. Core properties of 1.6511 is limited to those which, preceding nitriding, is produced by conventional quenching and tempering. Case hardness lower than the nickel-aluminum steel may be developed, depending on prior heat treatment and nitriding cycle. This grade is available as aircraft quality parts; forging stock; hot worked and cold finished bar, rod, and wire; and seamless mechanical tubing.
