Product Description

BS 3S106 (superseded by BS 4S106 in current British Aerospace Standards) is a high-specification 3% Chromium-Molybdenum (Cr-Mo) nitriding steel bar grade.

Supplied primarily in the hardened, tempered, and stress-relieved condition (designation 3S106D / 4S106D) as bright round bars, it is engineered for components that require high core toughness alongside an exceptionally hard, wear-resistant nitrided case ($>650\text{--}800\text{ HV1}$).

1. Chemical Composition (BS 3S106 Mass %)

Element Weight Range (%) Function in 3S106 / 4S106 Steel
Carbon ($\text{C}$) 0.20 – 0.28 Delivers core strength and high fatigue limits without sacrificing ductility.
Chromium ($\text{Cr}$) 3.00 – 3.50 Primary nitride former; forms ultra-hard $\text{CrN}$ precipitates in the case layer.
Molybdenum ($\text{Mo}$) 0.50 – 0.70 Eliminates temper brittleness; enhances high-temperature creep strength.
Manganese ($\text{Mn}$) 0.40 – 0.70 Increases core hardenability across thick ruling sections.
Silicon ($\text{Si}$) 0.10 – 0.35 Deoxidizer during steelmaking.
Nickel ($\text{Ni}$) $\le 0.30\text{ max}$ Kept low to optimize nitrided surface layer depth and uniform hardness.
Phosphorus ($\text{P}$) $\le 0.020\text{ max}$ Aerospace cleanliness limit to protect transverse fatigue strength.
Sulfur ($\text{S}$) $\le 0.020\text{ max}$ Restricted to maintain high impact energy limits.

2. Mechanical Properties (Supply Condition vs. Nitrided Case)

Property Value (Core / Pre-Nitrided State) Value (Post-Nitrided Surface)
Tensile Strength ($\sigma_b$) 930 – 1080 MPa —
0.2% Proof Stress ($\sigma_{0.2}$) $\ge 740\text{ MPa}$ —
Elongation ($A_5$) $\ge 13\%$ —
Izod Impact Energy $\ge 47.5\text{ J}$ ($35\text{ ft}\cdot\text{lbf}$) —
Core Hardness 269 – 321 HB (285 – 340 HV) —
Nitrided Surface Hardness — 650 – 800+ HV1 ($\approx 58\text{--}64\text{ HRC}$)
Effective Case Depth — 0.20 – 0.60 mm (cycle-dependent)

4. Key Engineering Applications

Because gas or plasma nitriding takes place at low temperatures ($500^\circ\text{C}\text{--}540^\circ\text{C}$), parts machined from 3S106/4S106 bars undergo virtually zero dimensional distortion during surface hardening:

  • Aerospace & Defense: Gas turbine main shafts, actuator power screws, turbine fasteners, high-load pump gears, and valve spindles.

  • Motorsports & High-Performance Automotive: Race crankshafts, camshafts, output shafts, wrist pins, and drive pinions.

  • Industrial Machinery: Extruder feed screws, high-pressure barrels, and heavy-duty tie bars.
