Cronidur 30 Steel
Steel name: Cronidur 30
Diagram No.: 2444
Mat.No. (Wr.Nr.) designation: 1.4108
DIN designation: X30CrMoN15-1
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.25-0.35% C, max. 1.00% Si, max. 1.00% Mn, 14.00-16.00% Cr, 0.85-1.10% Mo, max. 0.50% Ni, 0.30-0.50% N
Steel group: Cold work tool steels
Properties: Cronidur 30 is a high-nitrogen martensitic cold-work tool steel with exceptional corrosion resistance and ductility at hardness values >58 HRC. Nitrogen is alloyed above its solubility level at ambient pressure by means of the Pressure Electroslag Remelting (PESR) process. Regarding the remelting process, the homogenous microstructure consists of a very pure metallic matrix containing very fine and homogenously distributed carbonitrides, leading to outstanding polishability, excellent wear resistance, and high dimensional stability after heat treatment.
Applications: Aerospace and aeronautics, medical, automotive, racing and mechanical engineering, pharmaceutical and food industries. High-precision bearings, ball screws, spindles, extruder shafts, pumps, valves, industrial knives, etc.

Heat Treatment
Hardening: A professional heating-up process – including common equalization steps until the selected austenitization temperature is reached – is obligatory. The equalization temperature for complex parts is usually selected as between 750°C and 780°C. The holding time after the material core has reached the equalization temperature is between 20 min. and 40 min. The austenitization temperature depends on the required product properties and may be selected between 990°C and 1030°C. In the case of vacu– um hardening, the partial pressure of nitrogen within the vacuum furnace chamber should be set to between 100 mbar and 200 mbar in order to avoid any denitridation of the product surface. If this is not possible, the grinding allowance chosen should be approx. 0.2 mm.
Tempering: Tempering should be carried out directly after the material core has reached room temperature (RT is assumed to be approx. 20°C). If the austenitization temperature chosen is higher than 1000°C, deep-freezing at a temperature of equal to or lower than -80°C should be carried out prior to tempering in order to minimize retained austenite. The holding time after the material core has reached the deep-freezing temperature is to be set to at least 60 min. Two tempering cycles of at least two hours should be carried out in order to achieve the required material properties.
