SAE 6150 Properties ⚙️ (Chem., Mech. & Rankings) rev. 2022


 

In this post I'll talk about SAE 6150. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.

What is SAE 6150?

SAE 6150 is a chromium-vanadium steel with 0.50% carbon, approximately.

Application

Major applications of 6150 alloy steel: Shafts, Gears, Pinions.

UNS Number

G61500

Ok let's start with SAE 6150 Chemical Composition.

My Material's Ranking Research

While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.

I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and SAE 6150 currently ranks 41 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 40 materials that are more resistant.

Note: I've analysed 162 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my material's comparison post for more details.

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy and paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. SAE 6150 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings). Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. URL

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page. This citation format is based on MLA.
