30CrNiMo8, 1.6580, 30NCD8 QT alloy special steel


30CrNiMo8, 1.6580, 30NCD8 - alloyed structural steel for Q&T(quenching and tempering) acc. to EN 10083-3, EN 10269, EN 10250-3, EN 10297-1

30CrNiMo8, 1.6580, 30NCD8 QT alloy special steel - Introduction and Application

Alloy structural steel with hardenability, with high elasticity and high strength properties, mostly used for heavy components, reaching over 1560 N/mm2 in small diameters. After softening, the hardness reaches its maximum value. 248 HRB. Another feature of it is its resistance to variable loads and shocks. This material is not suitable for welding and will eventually require additional preheating. Grade 30CrNiMo8 is used in the production of heavy duty parts, shafts and drive shafts, steering shafts, engine crankshafts, screws and components exposed to temperature in the power industry.
