32CrMo12 / 1.7361 Steel – EN 10250

32CrMo12 / 1.7361 steel is a nitriding steel which has at least 2.8Cr%,0.3%Mo as strengthening elements as per EN10250 standard.Similar with 30CrMo12,31CrMo12, it has a high tensile strength 880 – 1230 MPa after QT. 32CrMo12 / 1.7361 has high surface hardness and wear resistance after nitrided,but this material is difficult to weld and should therefore not be used in welded constructions.
