Under EN10083-3:2002 standard, the 46Cr2 steel plate/sheet is one of the most widely used precipitation hardening grades in the business. While soft and ductile in the solution annealed condition,the 46Cr2 steel is capable of high properties with a single precipitation or aging treatment. Characterized by good corrosion resistance, high harness, toughness and strength.
