Principal Design Features
|
|
6150 is a fine grained, highly abrasion resistant carbon-chromium alloy steel. Very good shock resistance and toughness are also key properties of this alloy in the heat treated condition.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Commonly employed in heavily stressed machinery parts including shafts, gears, pinions and also in hand tool components.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
Machinability is rated at 59% of 12L14 carbon steel.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
This alloy, while difficult to weld, has been successfully joined with all of the common methods. Part preheating and post weld stress relieving are essential components of a successful procedure.
|
|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
Harden at 1600 F and oil quench. Temper for desired properties. Normalizing can be accomplished by heating to 1650 F followed by air cooling. Typical Brinell hardness - 260.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
Forge at 2200 F and air cool.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Anneal by heating to 1550 F followed by furnace cooling.
