20MnCr5:
20MnCr5 steel is a low alloyed engineering case hardening steel for parts which require core tensile strength of 1000 – 1300 N/mm² and good wearing resistance.
It is used in boxes, piston bolts, spindles, camshafts, gears, shafts and other mechanical controlling parts.

16MnCr5:
16MnCr5 steel are alloyed case hardening engineering steels for parts which require core tensile strength of 800 – 1100 N/mm² and good wearing resistance. It is an engineering material typically used to manufacture piston bolts, camshafts, levers and other vehicle and mechanical engineering components.
