Product description
AISI 8620 is a low-carbon alloy steel known for its excellent response to carburizing and quenching, making it a preferred choice for components requiring high surface hardness and a tough core. This grade offers superior wear resistance, fatigue strength, and dimensional stability after heat treatment, ensuring long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent Carburizing Response: Allows for deep case hardening to achieve high surface strength while maintaining a ductile core.
- High Toughness: Resists impact and shock loads better than plain carbon steels, reducing the risk of brittle fracture.
- Machinability: Good machinability in the annealed state, facilitating the production of complex gears, shafts, and pins.
- Weldability: Can be welded using standard techniques, though pre-heating may be required for thicker sections.
Common Applications
This alloy steel is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors. Typical applications include transmission gears, drive shafts, camshafts, crankshafts, and high-strength bolts. It is also suitable for structural components in heavy equipment that undergo significant stress and wear.
