817M40 Alloy Steel

817M40 817M40T flat and round alloy steel suppliers and stockholders, delivering to the whole of the
UK. West Yorkshire Steel are suppliers of 817M40T in diameters and cut flat bar pieces, which can be
supplied as sawn blanks to your required sizes. It is a nickel chromium molybdenum specification usually
supplied high tensile as 817M40T or 817M40U. This grade is readily machineable and combines good high
tensile steel strength with shock resistance, ductility and wear resistance characteristics. In 'T' condition it is a
widely used engineering steel with a tensile strength of 850-1000N/mm². 817M40T has reasonably good
impact properties at low temperatures, whilst it is also suitable for a variety of elevated temperature
applications. 817M40T can be flame or induction hardened to give a case hardness of 50HRc or higher.

Applications

817M40T is a popular high tensile steel used widely in many industries. It is widely used in the plastic and rubber
moulding industries for moulds (particularly rubber moulds), hob retaining rings, patens, retaining rings for built up
moulds and stop pins for moulds. For moulds applications 817M40 is normally supplied hardened and tempered to
‘T’ condition. If a higher hardness is desired 817M40T should be annealed and heat treated to the required
hardness. It is suitable to produce parts for locomotives, cranes, rolling mills, coal cutting machinery etc. where
great strength and fatigue resistance are required. Other applications for 817M40 and 817M40T are found in die
casting and hot metal working, for example die bolsters, racks and pinions, angle pins for pressure die casting; hot
stamping dies for aluminium stamping; die beds for steel stamping; lower temperature nut, bolt and rivet heading
dies and large section drop forging dies.

Flat Bar

817M40T flat bar is available cut from large rectangular block, pieces can be sawn to your specific sizes.

Forging

Preheat the steel carefully, then raise temperature to 1000-1100°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C. After
forging this alloy steel, cool slowly preferably in a furnace.

Annealing

Heat the 817M40T slowly to 840-860°C, soak well and allow to cool with the furnace to 580°C, before withdrawing.

Stress Relieving

When parts are heavily machined, ground or otherwise subject to cold work, stress relieving will be beneficial prior
to hardening. Heat carefully to 650-670°C, soak well before cooling in the furnace or in the air.

Hardening

817M40T is commonly supplied ready heat treated. If further heat treatment is required annealed 817M40 should
be heated slowly to 830-850°C and after adequate soaking at this temperature quench in oil. Temper as soon as
tools reach room temperature. Hardening from a neutral salt bath, will reduce the possibility of scaling or
decarburisation. Heat to 830-850°C and after equalisation quench in oil.
Tempering

Heat the steel carefully to a suitable temperature selected by reference to a tempering chart or table, soak at the
temperature for two hours per 25mm of ruling section, then all to cool in the air. Tempering between 250-375°C is
not advised as tempering within this range will reduce the impact value.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as
the shape and size of each steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the
type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider
for full guidance on heat treatment of alloy steel.

Certification

817M40T alloy steel is available with a cast and analysis certificate or BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please
request when placing any orders.
Quality Assured Supply

817M40T is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001:2015 registration.
