What is "Jomeny" in gear steel
What is "Jomeny" in gear steel
(OP)
I am dealing with an Indian source for a small gear and they have expressed issue with the "Jomeny" content in the material we have chosen. They relate that they are using a material with low "Jomeny" and that they will need to acquire a material with higher "Jomeny" to achieve the core hardness we are requesting. Rarely do I run across a single word that only creates 4 pages during a Google search.
What is "Jomeny" in Western terms?
Thanks.

The test is standardized under ASTM Standard A255.

I ran into a similar issue on gearing where 20MnCr5 was being proposed as a replacement for 8620H. Testing results were fine. However, the forge source could not guarantee that all heats would fall within and not below our desired Jominy band (the band that was tested), particularly at the J4 position.
