Product Description

About products
18CrNiMo7-6 is a case hardening steel with high toughness. There are a number of variants
with high cleanliness requirements. All variants  possess tighter composition ranges compared
to the standard. One variant is produced with the quality class IQ (isotropic quality). This ensures
a very low number of elongated sulphide inclusions which will give more isotropic properties.
The high oxidic cleanliness will enable the steel to meet the same high cleanliness demands
as for re-melted qualities.

Applications: 

Due to its properties, DIN 1.6587 grade steel is used for strong and hard parts. It's good for big
parts that wear out quickly and carry heavy loads. This includes parts like big bushings, bearings,
cam parts, clutch pieces, bolts for compressors, fan rods, heavy gears, pump rods, sprockets,
tappets, wear pins, and wire guides.

Comparing 1.6587 Alloy Steel With Other Alloys

When pitted against other materials, 1.6587 steels often emerge as a top contender. It offers a
balance between hardness and toughness, something that not every alloy can promise.

Heat Treatment of 6587 Steel

Soft Annealing: Heat 6587 steel to 650-700oC, cool slowly in furnace. After annealing,
it achieves max hardness of 229.

Normalizing: 850-880oC, air.

Hardening: Carburising: 880-980oC. Core Hardening: 830-870oC, water.
Case Hardening: 780-820oC, water.

Tempering:Temperature: 150-200oC

Processing 1.6587 Alloy Steel: What You Need to Know

Whether you're looking to weld, form, or cut this steel, understanding its behavior under
various conditions is vital. Fortunately, with the right techniques, working with 1.6587 is a breeze.
