SAE 8620

Grade Introduction:
SAE 8620 Alloy Steel is a low alloy nickel, chromium, molybdenum case hardening steel, generally supplied in the as-rolled condition with a maximum hardness HB 255max. SAE 8620 alloy steel offers high external strength and good internal strength, making it highly wear-resistant. SAE 8620 steel has a higher core strength than grades 8615 and 8617.
SAE 8620 alloy steel is flexible during hardening treatments, thus enabling improvement of case/core properties. Prehardened and tempered (uncarbonized) 8620 can be further surface hardened by nitriding but will not respond satisfactorily to flame or induction hardening due to its low carbon content. SAE 8620 alloy steel is suited for applications that require a combination of toughness and wear resistance. This grade is commonly supplied in a round bar.

Grade Application

The SAE 8620 can be used for a number of medium-strength applications such as camshafts, fasteners, gears, and chains/chain pins.

Heat Treatment

This alloy may be hardened by heating to 1500 F followed by a water quench. Carburize at 1650 to 1700 F in an appropriate carburizing medium and oil quench to harden. Improved carburized case and core properties can be obtained by furnace cooling from carburizing at 1650 – 1700 F and then reheating to 1575 F.

Hardness

Hardening

The AISI steel 8620 will be austenitized at around 840°C – 870°C, and oil or water quenched depending upon section size and intricacy. Cool in Air or Oil required.

Forging Properties

SAE 8620 alloy steel is forged at a start temperature of around 2250ºF (1230ºC) down to approximately 1700ºF(925ºC.) prior to the hardening heat treatment or carburizing. The alloy is air cooled after forging.

Stress Relieving

Heat to 630°C – 650°C, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25mm section, and cool in still air.

Tempering

Tempering of heat-treated and water quenched parts of SAE 8620 steel (not carburized) is done at 400 F to 1300 F to improve case toughness with minimal effect on its hardness. This will also reduce the possibility of grinding cracks.

Normalizing

1675ºF (910ºC) and air cool. This is another method of improving machinability in 8620 material; normalizing might also be used prior to case hardening.

Welding

The alloy SAE 8620 may be welded as-rolled condition by conventional methods, usually gas or arc welding. Preheating at 400 F is beneficial and subsequent heating after welding is recommended – consult the approved weld procedure for the method used.

Machinability

The SAE 8620 alloy steel is readily machined after heat treatment and/or carburizing, should be at a minimum so as not to impair the hardened case of the part. Machining may be done by conventional means prior to heat treatment – after carburizing machining is usually limited to grinding.
