8620 hardness is an important indicator in the mechanical properties of 8620 steel. Understanding the 8620 hardness range that can help us to better understand the properties of 8620 steel and the application fields. The following is the details about 8620 hardness.

8620 is a low alloy case hardening steel which is supplied to American standard SAE 8620 and AISI 8620. 8620 can be carburized, which will achieve a tough core with a hard wear-resistant case. 8620 provides a combination of toughness and wear resistance. 8620 is supplied in either the as-rolled or annealed condition for subsequent case hardening.

8620 hardnessSo what is 8620 mechanical properties and 8620 hardness?

The most widely used alloy case-hardening steel, which may be carburized and hardened to produce a hard wear-resistant case combined with the core strength of the order of 125,000 psi (862 N/mm2). Uniform case depth, hardness and wear properties with minimum distortion are characteristics of this grade. The steel may also be used, not carburized, in a variety of general applications where a ’20’ carbon alloy is desirable.
