32CDV13 offers excellent mechanical properties after nitriding treatment.

---

After treatment, the steel alloy offers excellent hardness and high impact resistance, fatigue and ductility. Wear resistance also improves considerably.

Introduction:

The steel alloy offers excellent hardness, high impact resistance, fatigue resistance and ductility. Wear resistance also improves considerably after nitriding. The alloy may be utilised as a nitrided or un-nitrided material. 32CDV13 provides less distortion when compared to case-hardened steels. Un-nitrided 32CD13 finds suitability in applications requiring high strength.

Suitability:

The alloy represents an ideal engineering material for structural applications requiring a combination of good ductility with good fatigue and impact resistance. The alloy benefits from good transverse properties once remelted.

Applications:

32CDV13 finds use in various commercial engineering markets, from general engineering to aerospace and motorsport. In the nitrided state, the alloy is particularly useful in manufacturing bearings which operate at high speed under heavy loads. Other motorsport-specific applications include crankshafts, camshafts, gears.
