Purpose : To compare 100Cr6 With 16MnCr5 & SAE 8620 with 16MnCr5
Person asked: Satheesh L

Details: Ecr was raised to change material from 100cr6 to 16Mncr5 based on benchmarking from Usha . Benchmarking report
But as per anu's report Delivery valve material is 815M17 but analysis report conforms 16MnCr5 or 20Mncr5. so I guess they w
In SAE 8620 and 16MnCr5 comparison. Why he asked to compare this two material ? No idea. But I told him its is slightly of eq

Usha . Benchmarking report prepared by Annapoorna ED-DR-15-104 . Since this is benchmarking why he need comparision between 100
or 20Mncr5. so I guess they were changing Dleivery valve 15SK373 and 15SK185 to 16MnCr5.
ut I told him its is slightly of equivalent . But sae8620 is superior than 16MnCr5

d comparision between 100Cr6 and 16MnCr5 ? . I told him that they are not equivalent.
