CRONIDUR Information ?

CRONIDUR Information ?

CRONIDUR Information ?

(OP)
I search informations on cronidur alloy : approximative chemical analysis or equivalent alloys, advantages and drowbacks,....

Thanks

RE: CRONIDUR Information ?

I found several 'Cronodur' alloys.  The one with many current references is Cronodur® 30.

"Cronidur® 30 is a martensitic throughhardened steel that can also be induction case hardened. The primary difference between 52100 and Cronidur® 30, for example, is that in Cronidur® 30 some of the carbon content has been replaced with nitrogen. A comparison of the chemical compositions of Cronidur® 30, 52100 and 440C are presented in Figure 2."

Material            C     N     Si     Cr
52100           1.00    —    0.25  1.45
Cronidur®30 0.31   0.38 0.55 15.2
440C            1.08    —    0.40 17.0

Some mechanical properties:
                             52100   Cronidur® 30
Hardness               58 HRC   58 HRC
Useful Operating T  250°F    390°F
Bending Strength    120 ksi  160 ksi
Fracture Elongation:
     • Length              1         3
    • Transversal      0.3         2

Claims for Cronidur® 30 include a higher fatigue life and finer microstructure (evidence is shown) and greater resistant to corrosion than 440C (conditions not stated). See the bulletin at http://www.bardenbearings.com/PDF%20CD/PB18.PDF
It seems to have been used primarily in aerospace, but also in Swiss watches, medical devices, etc.

Thank you for your quick answer. It is very useful and confirm our assumption that CRONIDUR is not so different from a Aubert&Duval alloy : XD15NW (X40CrMoVN16.2.
