MecaVaL 147 M is a carbon - Chemical Composition (wt%)
manganese steel micro alloyed with Carbon 0.22 vanadium, generally supplied black as Silicon 0.35 rolled with a typical tensile strength Manganese 1.60 range of 550 – 750 MPa and high yield Vanadium 0.08 / 0.15 strength, offering a combination of Phosphorus 0.030 strength and toughness plus excellent Sulphur 0.020 / 0.040 machinability and weldability.
Typical Applications: Related Specifications:
Tubular parts for the automotive, oil and BS 6258-1988 Grade 600 gas, construction, general engineering Werkstoff 1.5217 20MnV 6 and agricultural industry, such as bushes, UNS K01907 hydraulic cylinders, hollow shafts, rings, hollow rolls for conveyors, nuts etc. Machinability: Improved machinability due to silicon-calcium treatment and Sizes and Tolerances: controlled sulphur content, with cutting Refer: Clean turned sizes (C.T.S.) speeds increased by (20 – 45%) or tool life increased (2 – 4 times). NB. Under C.T.S. applies to lengths of up to 3 times any cutting condition mecaVaL 147 M the nominal OD. E.g. for OD 100mm the improves swarf fragmentation. machined length would be 300mm max. Heat treatment and surface hardening Straightness: Will through harden with a moderate Short lengths: f 1mm/m improvement in strength and can also be Longer lengths: f 10 L U U
carburised, carbonitrided, nitrided and
8+L induction hardened. (f in mm and L in meters)
Mechanical Properties - (Minimum guarantees at room temperature)
Excellent weldability as supplied but A pre-heat or post-heat not generally welding not recommended when surface required however, pre-heating larger hardened or through hardened. sections can be beneficial as can a post- weld stress relieve. (Ave. Ceq = 0.50) Welding details for guidance only
Heat Treatment Carburising:
Carburise at 880°C – 920°C Normalising: Heat to 900°C-925°C Cool in still air Core Refining: Optional Oil quench at 870°C – 880°C Stress Relieving: Heat to 550°C-650°C Cool in still air Case Hardening: Water quench at 760°C-780°C, temper Hardening: at 150°C-200°C. Typical case Rc60 Heat to 870°C-925°C Quench in oil or water and temper when hand warm. Carbonitriding: Carbonitride at 870°C-880°C, quench in Tempering: oil or water. Temper at 150°C-200°C. Heat to 500°C-600°C Cool in still air Typical case Rc60
High or Medium Frequency Induction Nitriding:
hardening: Heat to 490°C-530°C Heat quickly to required case depth at Hold till case depth obtained and cool in 870°C-925°C and quench immediately furnace. Typical case Rc55 in oil or water. Temper at 150°C-200°C. NB. If pre-hardening and tempering the All de-carburised surface material must tempering temperature should be higher first be removed. Typical Case Rc48 than the nitriding temperature.
