The 60Si2CrVA alloy steel is a medium alloy steel with a high carbon content, and it also has a considerable number of alloying element. The alloy is often used to manufacture parts for use in automotive, railroad and other industrial equipment, as well as for other general purpose engineering.
Due to its excellent mechanical properties, 60Si2CrVA alloy steel is the best choice for parts subject to high loadings and dynamic stresses, such as connecting rods, piston pins, shafts, gears, bushings and other automotive engine parts. It is also used for many parts in off-highway equipment.
High carbon content and high alloying element below make the 60Si2CrVA superior to other ordinary carbon structural steel or ordinary alloy tightness and strength. Its strength, hardness and abrasion resistance increase rapidly to reach the best combination of toughness and strength. This feature enables 60Si2CrVA to be used in parts requiring good tightness and strength, such as those under dynamic stresses and high speed.
The superior properties of 60Si2CrVA alloy steel make it suitable for the fabrication of components where wear resistance is particularly important. In addition, it can be used for components that are exposed to corrosive conditions or where lubrication is not practical.
60Si2CrVA is used in the automotive and railroad industry due to its excellent machinability and high wear resistance. Components made of this alloy are widely used in the automotive industry to reduce weight while still having the ability to withstand high loads. The alloy is also popular in off-highway equipment such as bulldozers and draglines, continuous-mining machines, aircraft cranes that work in high-wear environment.
60Si2CrVA also particularly used in the manufacturing of high pressure gasoline engines and in the transportation industry, as well as for metallic components for mining machineries, railway equipment and earth-moving equipments. In the aerospace industry, 60Si2CrVA alloy steel can be used for propeller shafts and jet engine components since its high-temperature strength and strength retention at elevated temperatures make it suitable for these components.
Moreover, 60Si2CrVA alloy steel is also popular for power tools, such as drill bits and saw blades due to its wear-resistance and long-term working environment.
In short, due to its excellent mechanical properties, 60Si2CrVA is a great choice for off-highway and industrial components, fast moving and wear-prone parts, rail applications, and power tools. By choosing 60Si2CrVA alloy steel, we can assure long-term durability and reliability, even in the most challenging operating conditions.
