En41b VD Route And Annealed Heavy Duty Forged Block

Product Description

Material: EN41B (41CrAlMo7)

Description: The EN41B VD Route and Annealed Heavy Duty Forged Block is a high-performance steel component known for its exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and ductility. This block is manufactured using the Vacuum Degassed (VD) route, ensuring superior cleanliness and homogeneity of the steel, which is crucial for demanding applications.

Key Features:

• High Wear Resistance: The EN41B steel is nitrided to achieve a hard, wear-resistant surface, making it ideal for applications subjected to high friction and abrasion.
• Excellent Toughness and Ductility: The annealing process enhances the toughness and ductility of the block, allowing it to withstand heavy loads and impacts without cracking.
• Superior Cleanliness: The VD route ensures minimal impurities in the steel, resulting in improved mechanical properties and longer service life.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in automotive, textile, and general engineering industries, particularly in components like gears, pinions, hydraulic cylinders, and die inserts.
