Nickel-Molybdenum Steels 

Both Ni and Mo increase the hardenability of steel. Steels with added nickel offer much greater toughness at a specified carbon level.  Mo also increases high temperature tensile and creep strengths. These grades are generally heat treated to specified properties.

 

Grade Designation:  46XX, 48XX
