100CrMo7-3 - 1.8% Chromium-Molybdenum High Carbon Steel
Surcharge Information
Due to the UK’s mostly commonly recognised surcharge mechanism no longer being openly published to the UK market we are unable to provide specific surcharge information on our website at this stage.
We are currently working with our suppliers to establish alternative mechanisms in order to provide a comprehensive and transparent view of global surcharge variations.
Look out for our improved surcharge pages appearing in the coming weeks.
Description
100CrMo7-3 grade steel is a high carbon alloy steel commonly supplied in the spherodised annealed condition.
Following machining it is subsequently hardened and lightly tempered to give parts a high surface hardness with a deeper hardened zone than can be obtained with case hardening steels.
It can be oil quenched in small sections and water hardened in larger sections, then subsequently tempered to produce a very hard wear resistance surface in excess of 65HRc.
