16Mncr5: Steel Grade

16MnCr5 is an alloyed case hardening steel commonly used for mechanical engineering components. It can be heat treated through processes like soft annealing, normalizing, carburizing, and tempering to optimize properties like hardness. The steel has a typical chemical composition of 0.14-0.19% carbon and 0.80-1.10% chromium, and undergoes phase transformations between 430-827°C.
