Mat.No. 1.3520, DIN 100CrMn6

Designation by Standards

Chemical Composition (in weight %)

Description
Medium alloy, oil-hardening tooling steel, which is hard-wearing.

Applications
Roller bearings with thickness up to 50 mm.

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

Soft Annealing
Heat to 760-800^oC, cool slowly in furnace. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 217.

Normalizing
Normalizing temperature: 860-900^oC.

Stress Relieving
Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to approx. 650^oC, holding for 1-2 hours at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment.

Hardening
Harden from a temperature of 830-890^oC followed by oil quenching. Hardness after quenching is approx. 64 HRC.

Tempering
Tempering temperature: 150-180^oC.

Forging
Hot forming temperature: 1100-850^oC.

Machinability
No data.
