We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
32 CDV 13 in the French AIR 9160 aeronautical specifications is a 3% Cr-Mo-V nitriding steel offering a tensile strength of up to over 1,300 MPa and which develops a hard (around 850 HV), wear resistant surface after nitriding treatment.
The alloy is usually produced by single electric melting and vacuum degassing but is also available as a vacuum arc re-melted (VAR) version designated with the prefix (E). Material is ultrasonically tested. The alloy can be employed for high strength non-nitrided parts or for nitrided components where high mechanical properties are required in the core. 32 CDV 13 bars are usually supplied in the annealed condition.
Final heat treatment consists of hardening at 950®C (oil quench) followed by tempering at a temperature appropriate to the balance of strength and ductility required (refer to published standard and table below).
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
