16NiCr4 (UNI EN 10084)
PROPERTIES AND EMPLOYEMENTS
IT IS AN EXCELLENT CASE-HARDENING STEEL, CONSIDERED BY THE NORM UNI EN 10084, IT SUBSTITUTES THE 16CrNi4, REGULATED BY THE NORMS UNI 7846 AND UNI 8550, IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO IT, WITH AN AVERAGE CHROMIUM CONTENT THAT IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
IT IS PROBABLY THE MOST USED CASE-HARDENING STEEL IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, THANKS TO THE GOOD MACHINABILITY AT THE ANNEALING CONDITION AND TO THE APTITUDE TO HEAT TREATMENT, WHICH RESISTS WITHOUT RELEVANT DEFORMATIONS. IT HAS A GOOD HARDENABILITY WITH A GOOD STRENGTH AT THE CORE, UP TO A THICKNESS OR DIAMETER OF MM 50.

Steels
Our steel always comes from the same European steelworks, which guarantee a continuity for what concerns quality. The constant quality of the supplies allows to have repetitive parameters in mechanical processing and a greater control over deformations during heat treatment.
Machining
Precise cuttings of small and big series are guaranteed by the employement of latest generation automatic saws that were projected and realized in order to guarantee precision standards required by customers, reducing processing wastage.
Quality
The certification and introduction of the Quality System management allowed M.T.Acciai to improve not only its efficiency, but also the quality that is offered, in order to better meet our customers’ needs.
