Sanbar 64 is an air-hardening, high nickel alloy steel with good response to carburizing. It has excellent fatigue strength and wear resistance in the case hardened condition.
Sanbar 64 is used for extension rods, shank rods and tapered rods.
Proof strength Rp0.2 MPa (ksi) | Tensile strength Rm MPa (ksi) | Hardness |
---|---|---|
900 (131) | 1250 (181) | 37-44 HRC |
The maximum permissible decarburization depth is 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) on the outer surface and 0.20 mm (0.008 in.) on the inner surface.
Sanbar 64 can be machined in the hot rolled condition.
Induction heating to 1000–1100°C (1830–2010°F), 10–60 seconds, depending on dimension. Forging range 1100–850°C (2010–1560°F).
