The most-used names for this grade.About Nitriding steels
Nitriding steels are alloy steels designed for nitriding, a surface-hardening treatment that produces a hard, wear-resistant surface while retaining a tough supporting core. They are used for gears, shafts, dies and other components requiring resistance to wear, repeated loading and dimensional change in service.
This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

Chemical composition
8 elements on file · weight %What this alloy is
Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.
| Element | % by weight |
|---|---|
0.04–0.12 | |
0.1–0.4 | |
0.85–1.2 | |
0.025 | |
0.035 | |
3.7–4.3 | |
0.4–0.6 | |
0.05–0.15 |
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.

Physical & mechanical properties
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.
