The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare SAE-AISI 5150 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.
APPLICATIONS
This alloy is used in the production of fprged components that are subjected to normal stresses for automotive and general engineering.
FORGING
This alloy would be forged between 2150 and 1600ºF ( 1175 and 870ºC.) The alloy should be slow cooled after forging or transferred to a furnace around the ‘finishing’ temperature.
HEAT TREATMENT
Annealing:The microstructure for this alloy to give optimum machinability is one of course lamellar pearlite to coarse spheroidite. This might be obtained by austenitizing at 1380ºF (750ºC) followed by an iso anneal at 1250ºF (680ºC.)
Normalizing: A nominal normalizing temperature for this alloy is 1600ºF (870ºC.) This treatment is followed by air cooling
Hardening: Austenitize at 1475-1550ºF (800-845) and oil quench for small, intricate sections and water quench for large, simple sections.
Tempering: from 1000-1250ºF(540-680ºC) as per required properties.
Machinability: This alloy is readily machined from a coarse pearlite to a coarse spheroidite microstructure.
Weldability: The alloy may be welded but must be preheated and if possible the preheat should be maintained during welding. Welding should be carried out in the annealed condition, not on hardened and tempered material.
Chemical Composition
Among alloy steels, the composition of SAE-AISI 5150 steel is notable for containing comparatively high amounts of manganese (Mn) and chromium (Cr). Manganese is used to improve hardenability, hot workability, and surface quality. There is some loss of ductility and weldability, however. Chromium is used to improve corrosion resistance and most mechanical properties (particularly at higher temperatures).
