AISI 8822 Steel, normalized Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Introduction: AISI 8822 Steel, Normalized Condition** #### **1. Overview** AISI 8822 is a **nickel-chromium-molybdenum (Ni-Cr-Mo) alloy steel** belonging to the 8800 series, distinguished by its **elevated nickel content** compared to the 8600 series grades. In the **normalized** condition—achieved by heating to approximately 900-925°C (1650-1700°F) followed by uniform air cooling—this material exhibits a **refined, homogeneous ferritic-pearlitic microstructure**. This thermal treatment enhances mechanical uniformity, improves dimensional stability, and provides an optimal foundation for machining and subsequent heat treatment. The higher nickel content (nominally 0.50-0.80%) imparts **superior core toughness and hardenability**, making normalized AISI 8822 a premium stock material for components requiring exceptional impact resistance and reliability in demanding service environments. #### **2. International Standards & Designations** AISI 8822 in normalized condition is recognized under various international standards. | Region/System | Standard Designation | Title / Purpose | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **USA (AISI/SAE)** | **AISI 8822, SAE J404** | Standard Chemical Composition | | **USA (ASTM)** | **ASTM A322** | Standard Specification for Steel Bars, Alloy, Standard Grades | | **UNS Number** | **G88220** | Unified Numbering System | | **Heat Treatment Reference** | **SAE AMS-H-6875** | Heat Treatment of Steel, General Requirements | | **Europe (EN)** | **1.6524 / 22NiCrMoS2-2** | Equivalent Material Standard (Note: European grades often have slightly different S ranges) | | **Germany (DIN/W-Nr.)** | **22NiCrMoS2-2 / 1.6524** | Equivalent Designation | | **Japan (JIS)** | **SNCM420** (Close Equivalent) | Similar Material Standard | #### **3. Chemical Composition** The composition is characterized by a balanced carbon content and significantly higher nickel levels than comparable 8620-series steels. | Element | Content (% by Weight) | Metallurgical Role in Normalized State | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.20 - 0.25 | Provides base strength; forms fine, uniformly distributed pearlite during air cooling. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 0.75 - 1.00 | Enhances hardenability; refines pearlitic structure. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | ≤ 0.035 | Impurity control. | | **Sulfur (S)** | ≤ 0.040 | Impurity control; may be at upper limit for improved machinability. | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.15 - 0.35 | Deoxidizer; strengthens ferrite matrix. | | **Nickel (Ni)** | **0.50 - 0.80** | **Key Differentiator:** Significantly enhances toughness and hardenability; lowers ductile-to-brittle transition temperature; promotes fine, uniform microstructure. | | **Chromium (Cr)** | 0.40 - 0.60 | Increases hardenability; contributes to fine carbide distribution. | | **Molybdenum (Mo)** | 0.20 - 0.30 | Inhibits grain growth during high-temperature exposure; improves hardenability and tempering response. | | **Iron (Fe)** | Balance | Base metal. | #### **4. Mechanical & Physical Properties (Normalized Condition)** Normalization produces consistent, enhanced properties ideal for intermediate manufacturing stages. **Typical As-Normalized Properties:** * **Hardness:** **187 - 229 HB** (Brinell) or **89 - 97 HRB** (Rockwell B). Slightly higher than normalized 8620 due to higher alloy content. * **Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS):** **620 - 800 MPa** (90 - 116 ksi) * **Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):** **430 - 620 MPa** (62 - 90 ksi) * **Elongation in 2 inches:** **18% - 22%** * **Reduction of Area:** **45% - 55%** * **Charpy V-Notch Impact Toughness (20°C):** **60 - 90 J** (44 - 66 ft-lbf) – **Notably higher than 8620 series due to increased nickel.** * **Machinability Rating:** **~55%** of B1112 steel. Good chip control with consistent tool wear. * **Microstructure:** Fine, homogeneous mixture of pearlite and ferrite with ASTM grain size typically 7-8. **Physical Properties:** * **Density:** 7.85 g/cm³ (0.284 lb/in³) * **Modulus of Elasticity:** 205 GPa (29,700 ksi) * **Poisson's Ratio:** 0.29 * **Thermal Conductivity:** ~46 W/m·K (at 100°C) * **Coefficient of Thermal Expansion:** 12.2 x 10⁻⁶/°C (20-100°C) #### **5. Product Applications** Normalized AISI 8822 is specified for high-integrity components where superior toughness and reliability are required, often in demanding environments. * **Critical Gearing Preforms:** Blanks for heavy-duty transmission gears, mining equipment gears, and wind turbine gear components where impact resistance is paramount. * **High-Stress Shafting:** Camshafts, crankshafts, and drive shafts for performance automotive, heavy truck, and off-highway applications. * **Oil & Gas Equipment:** Components for drilling tools, valves, and pumps operating in low-temperature or high-shock environments. * **Aerospace & Defense Components:** Structural parts, landing gear components, and actuator parts requiring high toughness-to-strength ratio. * **Heavy Machinery:** Pins, bushings, and linkages in construction and mining equipment subject to impact loading. * **Tooling & Fixtures:** Dies, jigs, and fixtures requiring high strength and excellent toughness. #### **6. Key Characteristics & Advantages (as Normalized Stock)** * **Exceptional Toughness:** The **primary advantage** derived from higher nickel content. Provides superior resistance to impact and shock loading compared to 8620-series steels in the same condition. * **Enhanced Hardenability:** Higher alloy content ensures deeper and more uniform hardening during subsequent quenching operations, suitable for larger section sizes. * **Excellent Low-Temperature Properties:** Maintains good ductility and impact strength at sub-zero temperatures, making it suitable for arctic or cryogenic service applications. * **Superior Microstructural Uniformity:** Normalization produces a fine, homogeneous structure free from banding, ensuring consistent mechanical properties in all directions. * **Good Dimensional Stability:** The stress-relieving effect of normalization minimizes distortion during subsequent machining and heat treatment. * **Optimized for Severe Service:** The combination of strength and toughness makes it an ideal precursor for components that will undergo carburizing and serve in high-stress, high-reliability applications. **Conclusion:** **AISI 8822 in the normalized condition represents a premium-grade engineering steel for applications demanding exceptional toughness and reliability.** Its higher nickel content elevates it above standard 8620-series steels, providing **significantly improved impact resistance and low-temperature performance** while maintaining good strength and machinability. This material is particularly valuable for components operating in demanding environments—such as mining, heavy transportation, energy, and defense—where failure from impact or shock loading is a critical concern. By starting with normalized AISI 8822 stock, manufacturers gain a material with **inherently better toughness characteristics**, providing an additional safety margin and performance advantage in the final heat-treated component. For engineers designing critical systems where material performance cannot be compromised, normalized AISI 8822 offers a robust and reliable foundation for manufacturing high-integrity components. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 8822 Steel, normalized Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5749 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 8822 Steel, normalized Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
