DIN 30NiCrMo16-6 1.6747 EN30B 835M30 Quenching and Tempering Steel

Grade: 30NiCrMo16-6 1.6747
Equivalent Steel: BS EN30B/835M30
 
30NiCrMo16-6/1.6747 is an advanced quenched and tempered nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, engineered to deliver a superior balance of mechanical properties for the most demanding applications. Its chemistry is precisely formulated, with a carbon range of 0.26–0.33% and significant additions of nickel (3.30–4.30%), chromium (1.20–1.50%), and molybdenum (0.30–0.60%). This specific alloying system, followed by controlled heat treatment, results in a remarkable synergy of ultra-high tensile strength, exceptional toughness, and superior resistance to impact loading even at low temperatures.

1.6747 material

30NiCrMo16-6/1.6747 is a high-performance alloy structural steel manufactured according to the European standard EN 10083-3. Due to its outstanding strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance, this material is widely used in the production of critical industrial components that demand stringent safety and durability, such as in large wind turbines, heavy-duty construction machinery, high-end aerospace structures, and high-load transmission systems. In international standards, it corresponds to similar grades such as EN30B/835M30 in the British BS970 standard.

30NiCrMo16-6 steel exhibits excellent hardenability, weldability, and overall mechanical properties, making it particularly suitable for manufacturing critical parts that endure extreme alternating stresses and impact loads. After appropriate heat treatment, the material can maintain high strength while providing good low-temperature toughness and fracture resistance.

6:Forging processing

Put the 30NiCrMo16-6 ingot into the furnace and heat to 1100-1150℃

Cooling in the furnace

7: Heat treatment

Soft annealed:

Heat 30NiCrMo16-6 steel to 820-850℃ in the furnace

Slowly cooling in the furnace. The cooling rate is typically required to be ≤ 20°C/hour, especially within the sensitive range of 600°C to 300°C. The furnace must be cooled to below 250°C to 300°C before removing the product for air cooling

Normalized:

Heat 30NiCrMo16-6 steel to 860-900℃ in the furnace

Soak at this temperature in the furnace

Cooling in the air

Quenching and tempering:

Heat 30NiCrMo16-6 steel to 840-860℃ in the furnace

Soak at this temperature in the furnace

Quench in oil

Temper steel at 540-630℃ in the furnace

Take out of 30NiCrMo16-6 steel from furnace and cool in the air.

Remark: The conditions given above are for guidance, at the temperatures at the lower end of the range are generally applicable to hardening in water and those at the upper end for hardening in oil.

8: Weldability

30NiCrMo16-6 alloy steel is classified as a material with extremely poor weldability due to its chemical composition. Although its carbon content typically ranges from 0.26% to 0.33%, it approaches or exceeds the critical threshold of 0.25%, beyond which the weldability of steel deteriorates significantly.

9:Application

30NiCrMo16-6 is a high-strength, high-toughness, ultra-high-hardenability alloy structural steel. With its outstanding comprehensive mechanical properties, particularly exceptional fatigue resistance and fracture toughness, it is widely used in the following fields:
