Download 6150 Spec sheet

Alloy steels are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They are more susceptible to mechanical and heat treatments than carbon steels. They comprise different types of steels with compositions which exceed the limitations of B, C, Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, Cr, and Va in the carbon steels.

The datasheet given below provides more details about AISI 6150 alloy steel.
