We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
AMS 6349 chromium-molybdenum alloy is a deep hardening steel used where strength and impact toughness are required.
It has high fatigue strength making it suitable for critical stressed applications at normal as well as elevated temperatures. For increased resistance to wear and abrasion, it may be nitrided. This grade is a quality product melted under the best of steel making practices for aircraft quality steels. It is vacuum degassed to meet the magnetic particle inspection standards of AMS 2301. The alloy is supplied in the normalised and cold finished, hot finished and normalised or normalised and cold finished condition. The density of this material is typically 7.85kg/dm³.
Intended for general use for parts with sections ½” or less in thickness at time of heat treatment which require a through-hardening steel capable of developing hardness as high as Rockwell “C” 50; also for fittings and forgings of greater hardness or variation in thickness at proportionately lower hardnesses. It is frequently used in applications in which 8640 (MIL-S-6049) is specified.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
