For Blades, Bearings & Precision Parts | MOQ 5 Tons | Bulk Supply
9Cr18Mo and 102Cr17Mo are the same type of steel. 9Cr18Mo is the old designation used in the Chinese national standard GB/T 1220-1992. 102Cr17Mo is the new designation adopted in the revised Chinese national standards GB/T 1220-2007 and GB/T 20878-2007.
9Cr18Mo(102Cr17Mo) is a high-carbon, high-chromium martensitic stainless steel, developed from the 95Cr18 (9Cr18) grade through the addition of molybdenum (Mo). Consequently, it exhibits superior hardness, wear resistance, high-temperature strength, tempering resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to 95Cr18 (9Cr18) steel. This steel also possesses good high-temperature dimensional stability, making it suitable for manufacturing plastic molds, bearings, surgical instruments, and measuring tools that operate under high loads, high wear, and corrosive conditions. As a ledeburitic steel, it is prone to non-uniform carbide segregation, which can adversely affect the service life of components. Therefore, it is imperative to control the processing parameters and select an appropriate processing ratio during hot working.

Critical Points of 9Cr18Mo(102Cr17Mo)
- C.A1≈815∼865℃: This is the lower critical temperature upon heating. It represents the temperature range at which austenite begins to form from the ferrite-carbide matrix.
- Arkansas1≈665∼765℃: This is the lower critical temperature upon cooling. It represents the temperature range in which the transformation of austenite to ferrite or pearlite is complete.
- Ms≈145℃: This is the Martensite start temperature. It is the temperature at which the transformation of austenite to martensite begins during rapid cooling (quenching).

Hot Froging Process of 9Cr18Mo(102Cr17Mo)
| Artículo | Heating Temperature/°C | Initial Forging Temp./°C | Final Forging Temp./°C | Método de enfriamiento |
| Lingote de acero | 1130 ~ 1150 | 1080 ~ 1100 | 850 ~ 900 | Sand Cooling |
| Lingote de acero | 1100 ~ 1120 | 1050 ~ 1080 | 850 ~ 900 | Sand Cooling |
Special attention should be paid to the hot-working process of 9Cr18Mo (102Cr17Mo) steel. It is recommended to use a cold-charged furnace for heating, and the heating rate should not be too fast, especially below 700°C. At the same time, the final forging temperature should be controlled at a higher level, and strict attention should be paid to the cooling conditions.
Heat Treatment of 9Cr18Mo(102Cr17Mo)
The processes for preliminary heat treatment are as follows:
- Recrystallization Annealing: Heat to 730∼- 750°C, then air cool.
- Annealing: Heat to 850∼- 870°C and soak for 4-6 hours. Subsequently, the furnace is cooled to below 600°C, then air-cooled. The hardness after annealing should be ≤ 255 HBW.
- Quenching: Heat to 1050∼- 1100∘°C, then oil quench. The as-quenched hardness should be ≥ 58 HRC.
- Tempering: Heat to 160∼- 180∘°C and soak for 3-5 hours. The final hardness after tempering should be ≥ 58 HRC.
