1.8159 (DIN EN ISO 683-2 : 2018-09) 1.8159 DIN EN ISO 683-2 : 2018-09 Supersedes DIN EN 10083-3 : 2007-01 Valid Germany 51CrV4 1.1 1)
1) Remark: Steel 51CrV4 is applicable for high loaded components in aircraft and vehicle construction, engine and machine engineering which to meet demands on increased tempering resistance at best core properties and on high wear resistance (e.g. transmission and joint parts, axles). Further application as spring and tool steel.
