Yield Strength Varies with heat treatment, generally high
Elongation Decreases after heat treatment but maintains a certain ratio
Shrinkage of Area High, indicating good plasticity
Impact Energy Varies depending on heat treatment and testing conditions
Heat Treatment Annealing Softens the material post-forging/rolling for further processing
Quenching Performed in oil or air to achieve required hardness and strength
Tempering Conducted after quenching to relieve stress and improve toughness and elasticity
Forging Forging Process Requires controlled temperature to ensure plasticity and workability
Quality Standards For rods >80mm diameter, slight reduction in mechanical properties is acceptable per standards


Features

  • Ultra‑High Strength

    After oil quenching at ≈ 850 °C and tempering at ≈ 450 °C, 50CrV achieves tensile strength ≈ 1,350‑1,650 MPa and yield strength above 1,200 MPa, supporting severe load use

  • Excellent Toughness & Shock Resistance

    Its vanadium‑refined martensite microstructure delivers impact toughness of 8–30 J in many cross‑sections, ensuring reliable performance under dynamic loading

  • Outstanding Fatigue Life & Resilience

    The combination of high hardenability and a high yield ratio yields resilient spring behavior and long fatigue life under cyclic stress

  • Grain‑Refined Hardenability & Excellent Forging Workability

    Vanadium promotes fine martensite grains for low distortion during quenching and consistent quality even in large forged sections


Application

  1. Automotive Suspension & Valve Springs
    Widely used in car suspension systems and engine valve springs, offering excellent fatigue resistance under cyclic loads.

  2. Heavy-Duty Industrial Springs
    Applied in machinery requiring high-load compression, torsion, and shock springs due to its superior strength and toughness.

  3. Thermal System Safety Components
    Ideal for safety valves, piston rods, and mechanical parts operating under high temperatures up to 300°C with stable elasticity.

  4. High-Strength Shafts, Pins & Gears
    Suitable for shafts, axles, crankpins, and gear components that demand high wear resistance and long-term mechanical reliability.
