EN41B Steel | 41CrAlMo7 |1.8509|SACM645
EN41B steel is a nitriding steel which has at least 1.4%Cr,0.9%Al,and 0.1%Mo as strengthening elements. It will obtain high wear & abrasion resistance,high toughness,and excellent ductility after nitrided.EN41B is defined by its suitability for nitriding from which can give material a hard wear resistant case up to 68HRC, better than nitriding grade EN40B.It is generally supplied with annealed condition.
