Nitriding Steel

31CrMoV9 · 1.8519

Also known as former DIN 31CrMoV9

Chromium-molybdenum-vanadium nitriding steel for hard-wearing surfaces.

31CrMoV9 (material 1.8519) is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium nitriding steel that develops a very hard, wear-resistant nitrided surface over a tough quenched-and-tempered core. Used for gears, spindles, shafts and components requiring high surface hardness with dimensional stability.

FAQ.

What is 31CrMoV9?

31CrMoV9 (material 1.8519) is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium nitriding steel that develops a very hard, wear-resistant nitrided surface over a tough quenched-and-tempered core. Used for gears, spindles, shafts and components requiring high surface hardness with dimensional stability.

Is 31CrMoV9 the same as former DIN 31CrMoV9?

Yes — 31CrMoV9 is the European (EN) designation, while former DIN 31CrMoV9 are the matching names used in other countries and standards (for example AISI/SAE in the USA, JIS in Japan, GB in China, former DIN in Germany). They are near equivalents and may differ slightly in chemistry; the mill certificate governs the exact specification.

What are the international equivalents of 31CrMoV9?

31CrMoV9 corresponds to 31CrMoV9 (1.8519) (EN), 31CrMoV9 (former DIN). Equivalents are nearest matches by country/standard; the mill certificate governs the exact specification.
