The steels contains nitriding agents (Cr and Al) which contribute by the nitriding resp. nitrocarburization process with N resp. N and C to an increase of - case hardness - wear resistance - fatigue resistance and - corrosion resistance. Application for forged components: hardened, mechanically machined and thermochemical treated (e.g. nitriding) The steel with a higher Al-content shows a tendency to increased skin decarburization. The forged part requires sufficient machining allowances so that the finished component can be supplied to the nitriding process decarburization-free.
