MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

Nickel Molybdenum Steel

Nickel molybdenum steels are low-alloy steels developed to provide useful hardenability, strength and toughness through the combined effects of nickel and molybdenum. Exact characteristics vary with the individual grade, product form and heat-treatment condition.

01

Hardenability

Nickel and molybdenum additions can improve hardenability and support through-section property control.

02

Strength and Toughness

The family is used where useful strength must be combined with toughness and reliable heat-treatment response.

03

Heat-Treatment Response

Mechanical properties are strongly dependent on the specified heat treatment, section size and material condition.

04

Engineering Versatility

Different grades cover different combinations of carbon content, alloy content and hardenability requirements.
