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.
