Product Description
AISI 8620 Alloy Steel Round Bar | 21NiCrMo2
Alloy steels contain a wide range of steels whose compositions exceed the limitations of C, Mo, Cr, Va, Mn, Ni, Si, and B fixed for carbon steels. These steels are more responsive to mechanical and heat treatments than carbon steels.
AISI 8620 alloy steel is a common, carburizing alloy steel. This alloy steel is flexible during hardening treatments, thus enabling improvement of case/core properties. The following datasheet will provide more details about AISI 8620 alloy steel.
Dimensions
Cold Drawn Round: dia.6-30 mm
Delivery Condition
EAF+LF+VD, Hot Rolled or Forged or Cold Drawn, Annealed or Q+T, Black surface or Machined surface, UT SEP1921 Class3 C/c or D/d
