EN-41-B is a nitriding steel known for its excellent wear resistance, high surface hardness, and good core strength. It contains elements such as chromium, aluminum, and molybdenum, which enhance its nitriding capabilities and overall mechanical properties. Typically supplied in the annealed or normalized condition, EN-41-B can undergo nitriding to produce a hard, wear-resistant surface layer without the need for quenching, thus minimizing the risk of distortion. This makes it particularly suitable for high-performance applications requiring precise dimensions and a hard surface, such as crankshafts, camshafts, gears, and other automotive and engineering components. The ability of EN-41-B to maintain its hardness and strength at elevated temperatures further extends its applicability in demanding environments.
