Applications

• GKH is used to produce nitrided parts which need to be extremely stable after hardening and tempering. It is particularly suitable for producing parts for deep nitriding.
• Gears, crankshafts, precision parts, aircraft parts.
•Bearing rings working up to 400°C.

Mechanical properties

• Nitriding steel with a good level of hardenability and particularly high mechanical properties, impact strength and fatigue limit (GKHW and GKHYW grades).
• It may be nitrided in the heat treated condition to obtain a strength from 900 N/mm2 to 1350 N/mm2.
