15CDV6 (1.7734) Low Carbon...
The 15CDV6 (1.7734) grade is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium (CrMoV) heat treatable low carbon steel, a trully multifunctional material that excels in various areas such as mechanical strength, toughness, machinability, thermal stability, lightweight properties, and compatibility with a wide range of materials. Highly regarded & used in aerospace, motorsports and other industries due to its high tensile and compressive mechanical strength for structural components aimed to endure high stresses, its robustness and resistance to fracture or cracking under various load conditions for applications where safety cannot be compromised.Common uses in aerospace include aircraft chassis and fuselage structures, landing gear components (struts, wheel axles, and others) but also for bolts, screws, and other fasteners like rivets. Also used for rocket engines, parts for electric motors, racing vehicle frames, pressure vessels, suspensions, or vital components in the nuclear and defense industries.
The 15CDV6:
- combines a high yield strength (superior to SAE 4130) with good toughness and weldability with very little loss of its properties and without the need for further heat treatment.
- is low weight. For similar mechanical performance, it offers a more favorable strength-to-weight ratio than many other steels.
- has excellent machinability. Whether for cutting, forming, or welding, 15CDV6 suitability to various processing methods, results in ease of handling and reduces production costs.
- has excellent thermal stability making this alloy a material of choicel in aerospace, where components are subjected to extreme temperature ranges, from very cold to very hot, without compromising their performance.
- is compatible with other metals and composite materials frequently used in the aerospace industry. This compatibility facilitates its integration into complex systems, making it a preferred choice for engineers and aircraft designers.
