Introduction

Alloy steel is often subdivided into low alloy steel and high alloy steels. Low alloy steels exhibit mechanical properties superior to plain carbon steels due to the addition of alloying elements such as molybdenum, nickel and chromium. High alloy steels, on the other hand exhibit high strength at elevated temperatures, and hence they are used in applications involving aggressive environments to which the steel must be resistant.

AISI 4615 is a nickel-molybdenum steel. The following datasheet will provide an overview of AISI 4615 alloy steel.
