8620 Steel Machining: Carburized Gears and Drivetrain Components
8620 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum carburizing steel chosen when a part needs a hard, wear-resistant surface over a tough, shock-resistant core. That profile makes 8620 steel machining the natural choice for gears, sprockets, drive shafts, and bearing races that see both load and impact. This guide explains how to machine 8620 and how to plan the […]
Carburizing Services: Case-Hardened Steel for Wear-Resistant Parts
When a part must resist wear at the surface yet stay tough at its core, case hardening wins—and carburizing services are the most common way to get there. Carburizing diffuses carbon into a low-carbon steel surface, then quenches it into a hard martensitic case over a ductile interior. The result: gears, pins, camshafts, and bearing […]
