Alloy 35NCD16 (AIR 9160C)
Technical Data Sheet
35NCD16 is a low alloy steel which combines high strength and hardenability with good dimensional stability, making it an excellent alloy for large section mechanical parts or tooling of complex shapes subject to high stressses. In addition to aerospace structural applications, it is also suitable for mould for manufacturing plastic materials and bolster for drop stamps. 35NCD16 is supplied in either the Normalised & Tempered or Hardened & Tempered condition, but can also be heat treated with an additional sub-zero stage for increased strength and hardness.
