① Annealing of 5160 Spring Steel

Slowly heated to 740-770 ℃ and allow enough times, let the steel to be thoroughly heated, Then cool slowly in the furnace. The 5160 tool steel will get MAX 250 HB (Brinell hardness).

② Hardening of 5160 Spring Steel

5160 steels should be heated uniformly to 830-860°C (1526-1580°F) until completely heated through. About 30 min per 25 mm of ruling section is to be provided and then the steels should be immediately quenched in oil.

③ Tempering of 5160 Spring Steel

Tempering of 5160 steels is performed at 460-510°C, Soak well at the selected temperature and soak for at least one hour per 25mm of total thickness.

SAE-AISI 5160 steel is an alloy steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 5160 is the designation in both the SAE and AISI systems for this material. G51600 is the UNS number. It can have a moderately low ductility among the SAE-AISI wrought steels in the database.

The properties of SAE-AISI 5160 steel include four common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare SAE-AISI 5160 steel to: SAE-AISI wrought steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.

Carbon steel is available as bright drawn key steel in flat and square sections. With medium tensile strength key steel is used widely in general engineering for components such as plain, gibhead, taper and parallel keys. Key steel is produced to the required tolerances as specified in British Standard BS46 and BS4235.Carbon spring steel specifications EN42, CS70, CS80, CS95 and CS100 are available as hardened and tempered spring steel strip, annealed spring steel strip, spring steel plate and spring steel sheet. EN43 spring steel is available in bar and plate. The grades commonly conform to BS970, BS1449, BS EN10083-1, BS EN10083-2, BS EN 10277 and BS EN 10278 standards.X120Mn12 1.3401 is a manganese steel with 1% carbon steel and an 11% to 14% manganese content supplied in plate. Offering excellent work hardening properties high manganese steel can be supplied in full plates or cut to your requirements.
