35CrMo vs. Carbon Steel: Key Differences

Certifications: ASTM A193 B7, ISO 898-1 Class 10.9

Why 35CrMo Dominates Critical Fasteners

1. Aerospace-Grade Strength:

   • Withstands 120kN shear loads (M24 bolts in turbine mounts)
   • 40% lighter than stainless alternatives like 17-4PH

2. Heat Treatment Advantages:

   • Oil quenching at 850°C + tempering at 550°C achieves optimal toughness
   • Retains 90% yield strength at 400°C

3. Corrosion Resistance:

   • Salt spray survival: 500h uncoated, 1,500h with Dacromet
   • Superior to 4140 steel in marine environments

4. Machining Efficiency:

   • 25% faster cutting speeds vs. 4340 steel
   • Surface finish Ra 1.6μm achievable

Industry Applications & Case Studies

1. Automotive (Tesla Cybertruck)

• Component: Battery tray mounting bolts
• Specs: M16x120mm, 10.9 grade
• Result: 200,000 km durability with zero fatigue failures

2. Aerospace (Boeing 787 Dreamliner)

• Component: Engine pylon fasteners
• Specs: NASM 21207, 1,100 MPa UTS
• Benefit: 15% weight reduction vs. Ti-6Al-4V

3. Wind Energy (Siemens Gamesa)

• Component: Tower flange bolts
• Load: 80kN preload @ 300°C
• Coating: Geomet® 321 for 25-year service

Heat Treatment Protocols

1. Quenching:
   • 850°C × 1h → Oil cooling (60°C/min)
2. Tempering:
   • 550°C × 2h → Air cooling
3. Resulting Properties:
   • Yield Strength: 950 MPa
   • Impact Energy: 55J @ -20°C

5 Reasons to Choose 35CrMo Over 4140/4340

1. 20% higher creep resistance at 400°C
2. 30% cost savings vs. 300M steel
3. Weldable without pre-heat (AWS D1.1 compliant)
4. Available in 6m+ forged bar lengths
5. REACH/ROHS compliant for global markets
