18KhGT and 20MnCr5 enquiries may involve different national standards and grade requirements. Confirm the governing designation and specification for every order, together with bar, rod or forging dimensions, condition and documentation.

Chemical composition

Produced in CIS countries according to GOST 4543 specifications alloyed structural steel 18hgt has the following composition:

Element Carbon Silicon Manganese Chrome Nickel Copper Titanium
Content, % 0,17…0,23 0,17…0,37 1,10…1,40 1,00…1,30 Up to 0.30 Up to 0.20 0,06…0,12

The content of non-metallic impurities — sulfur and phosphorus — should not exceed 0,035%.

From the nearest foreign analogues of steel 18 KHL it is necessary to mention steel 18hgt smelted in Poland, the composition of which according to the national standard PNH 84030 does not differ from the above, as well as steel 20MnCr5 (different designation — 1.7147) produced according to European standards EN 10843 with the following chemical composition:

Element Carbon Carbon Carbon Magnesium Chrome Sulfur Phosphorus
Content, % 0,17…0,22 Up to 0.40 0,80…1,10 1,00…1,30 Up to 0.035 Up to 0.025

Properties and applications

After rolling and heat treatment, the steels in question have the following mechanical properties:

  • Ultimate tensile strength, MPa — 1000;
  • Ultimate ductility, MPa — 850;
  • Relative elongation, % — 9;
  • Tensile strength, kJ/m2 — 80;
  • Brinell hardness — not above 255.

Rolled sheets of these steels and forgings are used as blanks for the subsequent manufacture of gears, complex shafts, clutches, pins and similar items that require high fatigue strength and wear resistance with a ductile core. The steels are satisfactorily machined on metal-cutting machines and are also machined by hot-forming methods. The weldability of the steels is moderate.
