Description

Steel Round Bar ZF7B / 20MnCrB5 / 1.7168: High-Quality Boron-Containing Steel

General Specifications

The ZF7B (20MnCrB5 / 1.7168) steel round bar is a high-quality boron-alloyed structural steel widely used in the automotive industry and for manufacturing fasteners. This steel grade is known for its enhanced strength and improved hardenability due to boron addition.

Product Characteristics

  • Type: Round bar
  • Steel Grade: ZF7B / 20MnCrB5 / 1.7168
  • Available Diameters: 8 mm to 160 mm
  • Standards: EN 10263, DIN EN 10083
  • Tolerances: h9, h11

Chemical Composition

The unique properties of 20MnCrB5 are achieved through a carefully designed chemical composition:

Element Content (%)
Carbon (C) 0.18–0.23
Silicon (Si) ≤ 0.30
Manganese (Mn) 1.10–1.40
Chromium (Cr) 1.30–1.60
Boron (B) 0.0008–0.0050
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.025
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.025

The boron content significantly enhances the steel’s hardenability while maintaining high ductility in the annealed state.

Mechanical Properties

The 20MnCrB5 steel round bar exhibits the following mechanical characteristics:

Property Value
Yield Strength ≥ 340 MPa
Tensile Strength 600–750 MPa
Elongation (A5) ≥ 14%
Reduction of Area (Z) ≥ 35%
Hardness (Annealed) ≤ 230 HB
Hardness (After Quenching) 48–54 HRC

Applications

The ZF7B steel round bar is widely used in:

  • Automotive fastener production
  • High-strength bolts
  • Manufacturing of hardware and fixings
  • Transmission components
  • Critical fasteners
  • Load-bearing parts
