US Equivalent to European Material

US Equivalent to European Material

US Equivalent to European Material

(OP)
I'm trying to find the US equivalent to 16Ni Cr 4Pb UNI-EN 10277-4.  Does anybody know what it is, or the location of any online databases for future equivalence searching?

Thanks,
P

RE: US Equivalent to European Material

First, UNI EN 10277-4 does not contain a grade 16NiCr4Pb: the officially recognized grade is 16NiCrS4 (1.5715).  The addition of PB to the designation means that an addition of Pb is being specified, which makes this a non-standard grade.  Second, there is no exact equivalent of this grade in North America.  North American standards for carburizing steel grades do not feature any low-Ni/low-Cr alloys-- they either have high-Ni/low Cr or low-Ni/low-Cr-low-Mo.  You need to understand the heat treating requirements for this particular part and then evaluate suitable North American grades, most likely those featuring low-Ni due to its exhorbitant price these days.  Grade 8615 according to SAE J404 would be a good place to start in terms of similar hardenability, etc.  Other typical carburizing grades are 4615, 4320, 8620, and 8822.
