Astaloy® CrA
Astaloy® CrA: Robust and Cost-effective Prealloyed Chrome System for Medium to High Performance
Description
Astaloy CrA is a pure prealloyed chrome material for powder metal component production. In medium strength applications, alloyed only with carbon, it exhibits a fine pearlitic structure, which is robust and offers improved machinability. High strengths can be achieved at an attractive cost in sinter-hardening condition, as only minor additions of Cu (or Ni) are required. The alloyed, sinter-hardened structure is mainly martensitic.
