Introduction
Alloy steels are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They are more susceptible to
mechanical and heat treatments than carbon steels. They comprise different types of
steels with compositions which exceed the limitations of B, C, Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, Cr, and
Va in the carbon steels.
The datasheet given below provides more details about AISI 6150 alloy steel.
Chemical Composition
The chemical composition of AISI 6150 alloy steel is listed in the following table.
Welding
AISI 6150 alloy steel can be welded using any common welding methods. However,
preheating and post weld stress relieving have to performed for welding this steel.
Heat Treatment
AISI 6150 alloy steel is hardened at 871°C (1600°F). This steel is tempered followed
by normalizing at 899°C (1650°F) and then air cooled.
Forging
Forging of 6150 alloy steel is performed at 1204°C (2200°F).
Annealing
AISI 6150 alloy steel is annealed at 843°C (1550°F) and then air cooled.
Applications
The following are the major applications of 6150 alloy steel:
Shafts
Gears
Pinions
