Mat.No. 1.5223, DIN 42MnV7

Designation by Standards

Chemical Composition (in weight %)

Description
VMV175 is a heat treatable, low alloy steel containing manganese and vanadium.

Applications
Low and moderately stressed components for vehicles, machines and engines. 

Physical properties (avarage values) at ambient temperature
Modulus of elasticity [10³ x N/mm²]: 210 
Density [g/cm³]: 7.85

Soft Annealing
Heat to 640-780^oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 217.

Normalizing
Temperature: 860-890^oC.

Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 850-880, 840-870^oC followed by oil or water quenching.

Tempering
Tempering temperature: 480-650^oC.

Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1100-850^oC. 

Machinability
Machining is best done with this alloy in the annealed or normalized and tempered condition. It can be machined by all conventional methods.
