20NiCrMo2-2 is a low alloyed steel for carburized parts of limited section size and complicated shapes. Suitable for applications in the automotive industry such as gears and axles. The carburized case generally presents sweat, with a high resistance and a core with a combination of toughness and strength due to the content of nickel, chromium and molybdenum.
20NiCrMo2-2 is a chromium-molybdenum low alloy steel extensively used for carburized parts where core strength is a major consideration. The carburized case of 20NiCrMo2-2 steel is usually of the order of 0.1 - 0.2mm thick - depending on the section size - with a hard wear resistant surface containing complex chemical composition and providing a micro-structure favourable to the wear and fatigue resistance. The combination of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum in the core gives a combination of very high mechanical strength and toughness allowing components to work in highly stressed conditions.
20NiCrMo2-2 has a wide range of uses in the automotive industry, such as gears, shafts, axles and tools. Its carburized case provides high wear resistance and fatigue strength, thus making it well suited for highly stressed components. In addition, its combination of wear resistance and toughness provides long service life expectancy even in heavily loaded parts.
20NiCrMo2-2 is used for a wide variety of automotive components. Due to its combination of wear resistance and toughness, it is particularly suitable for highly stressed automotive parts, such as engine parts, transmission components and driveline components. In addition, it is also often employed in smaller components such as valves, studs and keys.
In general, 20NiCrMo2-2 is an excellent choice for carburized components requiring a combination of wear resistance and toughness. The carburized layer is uniform, with a hard wear resistant surface and a specific chemical composition providing a high level of wear and fatigue resistance. The combination of nickel, chromium and molybdenum in the core gives superior mechanical strength and toughness, allowing components to work in highly stressed conditions. When used for automotive components, 20NiCrMo2-2 provides excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength – making it an ideal choice for highly stressed parts.
