MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

Chromium Vanadium Steel

Chromium vanadium steels are alloy steels used where strength, fatigue performance, toughness and hardenability are required, with vanadium supporting grain refinement and performance. Exact characteristics vary with the individual grade, product form and heat-treatment condition.

01

Fatigue Performance

Appropriate chromium-vanadium grades are widely associated with demanding cyclic-load service.

02

Hardenability

Chromium supports hardenability while vanadium contributes to microstructural control.

03

Strength and Toughness

Heat treatment can provide useful strength together with required toughness.

04

Spring Applications

Several grades in this family are commonly selected for spring and resilient components.

ENGINEERING GUIDE

Engineering Considerations

Material Selection

Select the exact AISI 6150 specification, product form and supply condition according to the required strength, toughness, wear resistance and service environment.

Heat Treatment

Heat-treatment parameters are grade-specific. Use the applicable specification and qualified processing procedure for hardening, tempering or case hardening.

Mechanical Requirements

Final mechanical properties depend on grade, section size and material condition. Confirm the required tensile strength, yield strength and hardness before selection.
