Material 31CrMoV9 (1.8519)

Tough nitrided steel with high strength and wear resistance

31CrMoV9 is the right choice when high strength combined with good toughness is required. This heat-treatable nitriding steel is primarily used for heavily stressed components that require a hard, wear-resistant surface and, at the same time, a tough core – for example, in gears, shafts, bolts or highly stressed fasteners. It offers impressive hot strength, high fatigue strength, as well as excellent nitriding hardness and wear resistance.

Why 31CrMoV9?

Cost-effectiveness
31CrMoV9 is easy to machine and forge but has limited weldability and requires pre- and post-weld heat treatment.

Machining
The material is easy to machine and weld. Alternatively, 31CrMoV9 is also well suited to forging.

Applications
31CrMoV9 is a popular choice in various industrial sectors, for example for heavy-duty axles, gears or chassis components.
