20NiCrMo14-5

20NiCrMo14-5 is a material in the category Case hardening steels, held under material number 1.6772. Its recorded composition includes C 0.18–0.25%, Cr 1.2–1.5%, Mn 0.3–0.5%, Ni 3.4–4% and Mo 0.25–0.5%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

About Case hardening steels

Case hardening steels are steels designed to develop a hard, wear-resistant surface while retaining a tough and ductile core. They are used for components such as gears, shafts and other machine parts exposed to contact wear and cyclic loading.

This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other.

The published column is the source string byte-for-byte, decimal comma and all; Min and Max are the parsed bounds. Elements not listed have no value on file — they are omitted, never inferred.

Predicted transformation temperatures

This grade's composition falls outside the published model's validated range (a low-alloy composition window), so no transformation temperature is predicted here.

Physical & mechanical properties

Density7,85g/cm³Exact

An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material.
