Alloy or alloyed steels are defined by the ISO specification 4948/1 in the following manner. Alloy steels are those containing any element listed below in a quantity equal to or greater than the quantity for that listed element.
Al 0.10%, B 0.008%, Bi 0.10%, Cr 0.30%, Co 0.10%, Cu 0.40%, Mn 1.65%, Mo 0.06%, Pb 0.40%, Se 0.10%, Si 0.50%, Te 0.10%, Ti 0.05%, W 0.10%, V 0.10%, Zr 0.05%, Lanthanides (each) 0.05%, other specified elements (except C, S, P, N) 0.05%.
Alloy Steel – S156
S156 is a high strength VAR steel having a tensile strength of between 1320-1520 MPa.
The supply of material is in the annealed/softened condition and develops a hard wear resistance case after surface treatment.
