52CrMoV4, 51CrMoV4, 1.7701, AISI 4150 – description

Spring steel for quenching in oil, hard, ductile and hardenable. Used for all types of springs in the automotive industry with high strength requirements, including shock absorber springs, sealing rings and valve springs.

The strength and hardenability of 52CrMoV4 steel is strengthened not only by chromium and vanadium - as in the case of 51CrV4 / AISI 6150, but also by molybdenum. Molybdenum strengthens the solution during heat treatment, while chromium and vanadium form carbides that improve the hardness of the material during tempering.
