-
Yield Strength ($R_e$): $ge 750 - 850 text{ MPa}$
-
Elongation ($A_5$): $ge 10 - 12%$
-
Impact Energy ($KV$): $ge 30 - 35 text{ J}$ (at room temperature)
Typical Applications
Thanks to its excellent core toughness and high surface hardness after quenching, 27MnCrB5-2 round bars and rods are heavily favored in heavy machinery, automotive, and agricultural sectors.
-
Agricultural Engineering: Rotary tiller blades, plowshares, harrow discs, and wear liners.
-
Automotive & Machinery: Axles, high-strength bolts, connecting rods, crankshafts, and torsion bars.
-
Fasteners: Structural fasteners and heavy-duty clamping hardware requiring Grade 10.9 or 12.9 mechanical performance.
Supply Forms & Processing
-
Available Shapes: Hot-rolled, forged, cold-drawn, or turned round bars and wire rods.
-
Delivery Conditions: * As rolled (+AR)
-
Welding: Due to the carbon and manganese content, preheating is generally recommended if welding is necessary, followed by a stress-relief or tempering cycle to prevent cracking in the heat-affected zone.
