ALLOY STEEL

9310 Alloy Steel

9310 is a low-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum carburizing steel. It is considered for gears and transmission components requiring a hard contact surface supported by a tough core. Surface properties are developed through subsequent carbon enrichment and heat treatment of the stock.

Case and core require separate assessment

Case hardness and core hardness are different measurements in a carburized component. Wear and contact fatigue at the tooth flank and load-bearing behaviour at the tooth root create different requirements. A core tensile-test result should not be used to describe the entire performance of the hardened surface.

Melting route is separate from chemistry

AMS 6260 and AMS 6265 are encountered in the 9310 bar and forging family. The latter requires vacuum consumable-electrode remelting; similar chemistry does not demonstrate compliance with that production requirement. Mechanical-tubing coverage should also not be confused with pressure-pipe suitability.

Define the gear-blank enquiry clearly

Blank dimensions, a forging or bar preference, delivery condition and traceability needs form the starting point. State the properties required by the carburizing, final-grinding and inspection plans separately. 9310 is not stainless; lubrication and corrosion protection must also suit the finished component’s service conditions.

Typical application areas

Aerospace gears, pinions, power-transmission components.
