5120/20Cr4/20Cr alloy steel

5120 alloy steel (SAE designation), also known as 20Cr4 (EN standard) and 20Cr (GB standard), is a low-carbon chromium-alloy steel primarily used in applications requiring surface hardening with tough and ductile cores. It offers excellent performance after carburizing and quenching, making it a top choice for producing wear-resistant, fatigue-resisting components like gears and shafts.

Benefits

Benefits:
Excellent Surface Hardening Capability: Ideal for carburizing to improve surface hardness while maintaining core ductility.
Good Toughness: Soft, ductile core ensures good shock absorption after case hardening.
Wear Resistance: High surface hardness after heat treatment enhances resistance to abrasion and contact fatigue.
Machinability: Easily machinable in an annealed condition.
Cost-Effective: Offers high performance at a relatively low material cost.
