Case-hardening steel

16MC5 / 16MnCr5 is an alloyed case-hardening steel known for its excellent wear resistance, good core toughness and ability to achieve a very hard surface after thermochemical treatment. It offers an excellent balance between surface hardness and impact resistance. It is widely used for gears, pinions, shafts, axles, transmission parts and mechanical components subject to high friction and loads.
