What is 38 CAD 7?

We've been using Nitralloy 135M for similar parts. Are we close?

RE: What is 38 CAD 7?

Yes, you are close.  This designation is from the French AFNOR naming system, but since I cannot find a current listing, it is quite likely obsolete.  The official European grade is now called 41CrAlMo7-10 (1.8509) according to EN 10085.  Composition is as follows:

C = 0.38-0.45
Mn = 0.40-0.70
Si = 0.40
Cr = 1.50-1.80
Al = 0.80-1.20
Mo = 0.20-0.35

FYI, the AFNOR system works like this: the first two digits are the nominal C content, the next set of letters indicate the major alloying elements (C = Cr, A = Al, D = Mo, V = V, M = Mn, N = Ni, etc.) and the last digit is an indication of the concentration of the alloying elements (higher number = higher concentration).  The new EN designation system works the same way, but uses the official chemical symbols for the elements instead of only one letter.

Thank you very much for also answering the questions I had but didn't note in my post.
