Steeltec (Schmolz + Bickenbach) opens up users of high-alloy steel now a solution that combines high performance with price stability. The subsidiary of the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group is turning its Xtreme performance Technology (XTP) on precipitation hardening ferritic-pearlitic (AFP) steels. The resulting fine grain increases the room temperature Impact strength by more than 50% up to 150 J with high strength.
When high strength and toughness are required, are AFP steels from now on a competitive alternative to nickel and molybdenum alloyed materials - provided that the materials have passed the controlled thermomechanical process management at Steeltec.
Impact work opens up new performance potential
By applying XTP to the AFP steel you can AutomobileSuppliers and machine builders develop new performance potential with these materials. The material 38MnV6 XTP exhibits a Notched impact strength of more than 150 J. and thus a high level of toughness.
The strength of the Materials can up to 950 MPa increase. These properties can be transferred to semi-hot forged components. In the case of a forged product, for example, after forming at temperatures of 700 ° C a 50% higher notched impact strength determined than with the standard material 38MnVs6.
The XTP steel attributes of the material thus contribute to long-lasting machine components. End customers benefit from a price stable and thus competitive Steel- a result that is possible without the use of price-volatile alloy elements with an increase in the impact energy.
