Specification and application
Alloy steel 18CrNiMo7-6 is a grade consisting of the addition of chromium, nickel, molybdenum and coal with a range characteristic for all carburizing grades. 1.6587 materials, unlike other simple steel grades, can be used for much larger sizes and loads. This grade of steel is used for heavy-duty parts and components subjected to high pressures and highly variable speed of operation. Materials and derivatives are used for the production of special bearings, bolts, gears, shafts, or rack-and-pinions. They are related grades of steel according to UNI standards, having slightly narrowed content of Chromium, Nickel and Molybdenum.
