1.6773 - 35NCD16 - 36NiCrMo16

35NCD16 steel - Available from stock
35NCD16 steel is ahigh-quality alloy steel known for its excellent properties (tensile strength, hardness, resilience), making it an ideal choice for critical applicationswhere mechanical strength and durability is necessary.
Here is a technicalsummary of this steel, with details on its composition, properties and typic alapplications:
- Europe: 1.6773 | 35NCD16 | 36NiCrMo16
- Europe: AIR 9160C | EN 10083-1 | EN 10083-3 | EN 10250-3 | EN 2480 | EN 2481 | EN 2482 | EN 2483
- High tensile strength: 35NCD16 steel is renowned for its high tensile strength and ability to withstand heavy loads without becoming deformed.
- Good ductility & tenacity: this high-strength steel is nonetheless quite ductile and offers good tenacity, reducing the risk of fracture even when under load.
- Excellent hardenability: this steel’s alloy composition means it has excellent hardenability, allowing for uniform mechanical properties even on thick diameters.
- Fatigue strength: this steel’s structure enables it to resist repeated stress cycles without leading to premature fatigue.
To achieve the desired mechanical properties, 35NCD16 steel requires appropriate heat treatment, including quenching and tempering. These processes must be carefully monitored in order to optimise the steel’s microstructure, thus maximising its resistance, tenacity and fatigue strength.
