- The prerequisite, however, was to develop a steel that had a
high surface hardness and at the same time had sufficiently high suspension
properties to be able to elastically absorb shock loads that always occur
during operation.
characteristics
It is an oil hardening steel intended for rotary hardening. It is therefore
fundamentally ruled out for similar processes insofar as water has to be
used for quenching.
The steel has the following average composition:
C Mn Cr Mo V
0.60% 0.90% 1.00% 0.20% 0.07%
Compliance with special metallurgical conditions and the introduction of
suitable test procedures are necessary in order to achieve constant
properties of the steel as a prerequisite for the rotary hardening process.
CV 58 Z is supplied in the annealed or quenched and tempered condition.
