60Si2CrVA spring steel

60Si2CrVA spring steel

60Si2CrVA spring steel is a type of alloy steel used for making springs and conduits.It is mainly composed of silicon,chromium and vanadium,with a relatively low carbon content of 0.60%.

60Si2CrVA spring steel is usually formed at temperatures between 700 and 840 degree Celsius.The alloy has relatively high strength of up to 2160 MPa, with good toughness and stability retention. The most notable characteristic however is its excellent fatigue resistance, or ‘spring back’ ability, which allows the spring to be used multiple times without losing its shape.

60Si2CrVA spring steel also has very good resistance to corrosion and wear, allowing it to be used in select exposed locations such as in oil, chemical and agricultural machinery. This makes it a highly sought after material for manufacturing parts such as valve springs, tension springs, steering joints and control rods due to its long life expectancy.

Various treatments can also be applied to 60Si2CrVA spring steel such as heat treatment, annealing and quenching. During the heat treatment process, the steel is heated to a high temperature and then quickly cooled in the air to form a hard, brittle outer layer. This hard outer layer can then be further strengthened with tempered steel.

60Si2CrVA spring steel is a very versatile material due to its unique properties and characteristics. It is very useful to be used in a number of applications such as in automobiles, industrial machines, farming equipment and many more. Its excellent resistance to corrosion, wear and fatigue make it perfect for applications that require long term use in harsh environments. Thus, 60Si2CrVA spring steel is now being used in faster and more efficient ways to produce high quality and cost effective products.

60Si2CrVA spring steel is a kind of special steel used for making springs with high strength, high toughness and good hardenability. It is also used to manufacture automobile and motorcycle spare parts, hot forging die and cold forging die and other parts. The steel is composed of carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium and vanadium.

60Si2CrVA spring Steel has high plasticity, good impact toughness and fatigue strength, and good heat treatment performance. After heat treatment, the hardness of the steel is 40-60HRC. It has not only high strength and fatigue strength, but also good anti-relaxation. However, due to the low carbon content in the steel, the hardenability is not good. Therefore, the carburizing is usually used to improve the hardenability and toughness.

60Si2CrVA spring steel has good corrosion resistance, low temperature toughness and wear resistance performance, especially for the parts after quenching and tempering and carburizing and quenching, because of the high-temperature tempering after carburizing, its fatigue strength and static strength are greatly improved.

60Si2CrVA spring steel can be used for making springs, compression springs, valve springs, bridge bearings, as well as various connecting springs, shock absorption springs, torsion springs and buffer springs, as well as other automotive oil seals, pins and other parts. In addition, it can also be used to make cold work mold and hot work mold, spring locator and other parts.

Compared with 50CrVA spring steel, the strength of 60Si2CrVA spring steel is higher, the thermal stability is better, and the quenching and tempering performance is better. The price is higher than that of 50CrVA. Therefore, it is used more in the manufacture of automobile and motorcycle parts, such as bike and car springs.
