32CrMo12, 1.7361, 31CrMo12, 1.8515 - specifications and application

25H3M grade, as well as 31CrMo12 / 1.7361 and 32CrMo12 / 1.8515, is alloyed structural steel for nitriding and work in elevated temperatures elevated up to about 600℃.

Used for the production of components and machine parts that require high surface hardness after nitriding, creep resistance, impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and good plasticity.

In the above mentioned grades are made connecting rods, screws, nuts, shafts, gears, spindles, gears for automotive, engineering and energy industries. Steel is not suitable for welding.

Steels are supplied in the form of hot rolled bars and forgings.
