DIN 39NiCrMo3 1.6510 AISI 9840 Quenching and Tempering Steel

Grade: 39NiCrMo3 1.6510
Equivalent Steel: AISI 9840
 
39NiCrMo3/1.6510 is a widely used high-performance nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy quenched and tempered steel. It features a medium carbon content (0.35–0.43%) and contains alloying elements such as nickel (0.70–1.00%), chromium (0.60–1.00%), and molybdenum (0.15–0.25%). After quenching and tempering, it achieves a balance of high strength, good toughness, and excellent low-temperature impact performance. It is particularly suitable for critical engineering components subjected to high loads, high impacts, and fatigue stresses, such as heavy-duty gears, drive shafts, crankshafts, and important structural fasteners.

39NiCrMo3/1.6510 is an alloy quenched and tempered structural steel classified according to the European standard EN 10083-3. This steel grade finds extensive use in industrial production, particularly in the manufacture of core components that demand high strength, high toughness, and good fatigue performance. It is commonly employed in heavy machinery, high-load power transmission systems, and critical engineering structures subjected to complex stresses.

Due to its excellent hardenability, workability, and balanced mechanical properties, 39NiCrMo3 steel is one of the preferred materials for manufacturing critical load-bearing components. It is particularly suitable for applications involving significant impact and cyclic fatigue loads, such as in heavy-duty gearboxes, high-performance crankshafts, high-strength connecting rods, and critical fasteners.

6:Forging processing

Put the 39NiCrMo3 ingot into the furnace and heat to 1150-1200℃

Cooling in the air after forged

7: Heat treatment

Soft annealed:

Heat 39NiCrMo3 steel to 830-860℃ in the furnace

Cooling in the furnace

Normalized:

Heat 39NiCrMo3 steel to 860-900℃ in the furnace

Soak at this temperature in the furnace

Cooling in the air

Quenching and tempering:

Heat 39NiCrMo3 steel to 830-850℃ in the furnace

Soak at this temperature in the furnace

Quench in water or oil

Temper steel at 550-650℃ in the furnace

Take out of 39NiCrMo3 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

39NiCrMo3 alloy steel is classified as having challenging weldability due to its chemical composition. With a carbon content typically ranging from 0.35% to 0.43%, it surpasses the 0.25% threshold generally considered the point where weldability begins to deteriorate significantly in steel. Further compounded by significant additions of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, the material exhibits a high carbon equivalent. This leads to a strong hardening tendency and increased susceptibility to hydrogen-induced cold cracking in the weld metal and heat-affected zone (HAZ).

9:Application

39NiCrMo3 is a quenched and tempered alloy structural steel. Due to its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, it is widely used in the manufacturing of critical components requiring extremely high strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. Its primary application areas include:
