Alloy 6150 Chemical Composition Analysis
The combination of these chemical elements in 6150 steel endows it with excellent properties. In particular, the addition of chromium improves its hardenability and corrosion resistance, ensuring a uniform enhancement of properties during heat treatment and broadening the range of its applicable environments. The carbon element it contains is the core element that ensures its strength and hardness, providing a basic rigid framework for the 6150 alloy steel and enabling it to withstand relatively large external forces. The appropriate amount of manganese (Mn) present can improve the hardenability and strength of the steel, enhance the quenching performance, machinability and toughness, and thus strengthen its cooling ability. Besides, other alloy elements also play different roles. At Songshun, these elements will be carefully and rationally proportioned according to customers’ needs, and our engineers can customize them for you.
