Product Description

1.7734 (15CDV6) Tube — High-Strength Low-Alloy Seamless Steel Tube for Crankshafts

Material

1.7734 (15CDV6) is a low-carbon Cr-Mo-V high-strength low-alloy steel widely selected when crankshaft and rotating parts need a strong strength-to-weight balance, high fatigue capability, and reliable toughness. It is commonly referenced in aerospace and motorsport supply chains and is well known for being weldable compared with many other high-strength alloy steels.

Specifications

  • Product form: Seamless round steel tube (hot-finished and/or cold-drawn; heat treatment per requirement).

  • Typical supply length: 1–7 meters; custom cut available.

  • Straightness (typical): 0.3–2 mm/m (by supply class).

  • Delivery condition (common): Annealed / normalized / quenched & tempered (Q&T) to target strength level.

  • Inspection (typical options): Dimensional check, chemical analysis, tensile/impact testing, and NDT such as UT/ET upon request (based on project requirement).

Key Features

  • High yield & tensile strength with toughness (strength level adjustable via heat treatment).

  • Good weldability profile for a high-strength steel (especially compared with many Cr-Mo grades that require stricter welding controls).

  • Cr-Mo-V alloying supports fatigue-critical parts such as shafts and crankshafts, with stable properties after Q&T.

Our Advantages 

1) “Can it be welded safely without losing properties or cracking?”

  • 15CDV6 is widely described as readily weldable with minimal property loss and typically without mandatory post-weld heat treatment in many practical applications.

  • For comparison, common Cr-Mo steels like 4140 often require strict preheat/controlled procedures and are frequently discouraged for welding in the hardened & tempered condition. We provide fabrication guidance and can supply in a fabrication-friendly condition if welding is part of your process route.

2) “What strength level should I specify for crankshaft fatigue life?”

  • We support Q&T strength targets by diameter/thickness and can align supply to your machining + final heat-treat plan (rough-machining first, then finish Q&T, or supply Q&T directly). Typical published strength windows are shown in the mechanical table below.

3) “Do you control toughness/impact performance?”

  • Where required, we can quote impact requirements and test plans (Charpy/Izod) consistent with the referenced standard/condition. Comparable grades commonly publish minimum impact values by section.

4) “Will machinability and dimensional stability be OK for crankshaft machining?”

  • We can supply the tube in an annealed/normalized state for efficient rough machining, then Q&T to final strength; or supply in pre-hardened/Q&T condition when your process needs immediate high strength.

5) “How do I confirm equivalence across standards and avoid a wrong substitute?”

  • We provide cross-standard reference support (EN/ASTM/JIS/GB/GOST) and can propose the closest practical alternative if a project mandates a different national standard.

Standards & Compliance 

  • ASTM (typical references for similar alloy tubes/chemistry):
    ASTM A519 (seamless mechanical tubing); ASTM A29/A29M (chemistry reference for 41xx families, e.g., 4140).

  • EN (common routes for mechanical tubes & Q&T alloy steels):
    EN/ISO 683-2 (Q&T alloy steels; includes 42CrMo4); project-specific tube supply often aligns with EN seamless tube standards depending on end use.

  • GOST:
    GOST 4543 (alloy structural steels); GOST 8731 / GOST 8733 (seamless tube references shown in grade listings).

  • JIS:
    JIS G4053 (SCM series alloy steels for machine structural use).

  • GB (China):
    Common equivalents for the Cr-Mo family include GB/T 3077 (42CrMo) (often cross-referenced with 42CrMo4 / 4140).

Application Fields

Broad industries: automotive & motorsport driveline parts, aerospace structures, heavy machinery, energy equipment.

Where it’s used inside the crankshaft value chain:

  • Crankshaft body/blank machining: high-strength tube/stock for weight reduction concepts or specialized designs.

  • Related rotating components: connecting rods, shafts, axles, gear/drive elements—especially where fatigue resistance and Q&T strength stability are critical.
