Description
16MnCr5 Sheets / 1.7131 Sheets
16MnCr5 Sheets is a Chromium-Manganese alloy steel grade known for its good machinability, wear resistance after Case Hardening, and ability to develop a hard surface while retaining a tough and ductile core.
Our 16MnCr5 alloy steel sheets are suitable for manufacturing precision-engineered components that require a hard, wear-resistant surface and reliable core strength. These sheets can be used for components that undergo carburizing or other suitable case-hardening processes, depending on the required mechanical properties and application.
As a trusted steel supplier in India, Textron Steel and Alloys caters to industrial buyers, manufacturers, engineering companies, automotive component manufacturers, and OEMs looking for quality alloy steel materials. Contact us for availability, dimensions, material test certificates, and pricing of 16MnCr5 Sheets.
Textron Steel and Alloys is a supplier and stockist of 16MnCr5 Sheets, a low-carbon alloy case-hardening steel widely used in the automotive, engineering, machinery, and manufacturing industries.
