Exploring the Chemical Composition and Properties of 080M46 Steel Grade

Exploring the Chemical Composition and Properties of 080M46 Steel Grade

080M46 is a medium carbon steel with a chemical composition of:

– Carbon: 0.43-0.50%
– Manganese: 0.60-0.90%
– Phosphorus: 0.040% max
– Sulfur: 0.050% max

Other alloying elements may include small amounts of silicon, chromium, and nickel.

The mechanical properties of 080M46 steel grade typically include:

– Tensile strength: 650-800 MPa
– Yield strength: 400-600 MPa
– Elongation: 15-20%
– Hardness: 190-230 HB

This steel grade is commonly used in applications requiring good strength, toughness, and wear resistance, such as gears, shafts, and axles. Its medium carbon content allows for good weldability and machinability when properly heat treated.
