1.6580 - AT A GLANCE
What kind of steel is the 1.6580?
The material 1.6580 (here in the tempered condition), also known as 30CrNiMo8, is a CrNiMo-alloyed construction steel. Due to its good mechanical properties, such as its strength and toughness, it is often used for components that are subject to high stresses. When fully hardened, it is used for components in engine and machine construction. Usually components are used in the tempered delivery condition.
Properties
This material offers a good balance between strength, toughness and machinability, making it a good choice for a range of industries and applications.
- Heat-treatable steel
- High strength
- High toughness
- Components can be used in the tempered delivery condition
- Can be nitrided to a surface hardness of 60 – 64 HRC
Applications
The material 1.6580 is used for components that require a high level of strength and toughness. Components are usually used in a tempered delivery state. However, the material can also be hardened very well and can then also be used for components in car manufacturing or in mechanical engineering.
