18CrNiMo7-6 Gear Steel Bar

18CrNiMo7-6 gear steel bar is considered for large, heavily loaded gears and pinions used in industrial drives. It is a carburizing grade chosen where the component needs a wear-resistant surface alongside a strong, tough core.

Its value is most apparent in demanding sections where a lower-cost gear steel may not deliver the required core properties. For these parts, material quality, heat-treatment requirements and inspection can influence purchasing as much as the bar price.

At Dexter Steel, we review enquiries around component size, delivery condition and specified acceptance tests. Cut blanks can support the production route, with allowance retained for machining and finishing. Clear requirements help compare offers for the same supply scope and avoid costly changes after production begins.

More Details

We can review 18CrNiMo7-6 enquiries for bar stock or a required forged blank. Your drawing tells us which starting form to quote.

For large gears, a blank closer to the required shape may reduce heavy machining. We can review that option with you, while keeping any forging requirement clear.

If you need surface removal, end preparation or hole processing before delivery, include it in the enquiry. We can define the agreed work in the quotation.

Checks Included in Your Order

Send us the inspection requirements with the material enquiry. We can review ultrasonic inspection, mechanical tests and material records before the order is placed.

If the specification gives a test location or sampling requirement, we include it in the review. This helps ensure the quoted checks match what your customer expects.

Clear requirements also let you compare our offer with others on the same basis.

Delivery for Large Pieces

For heavy blanks, we can review piece weight, packing and unloading needs with you.

Tell us about any limits at your workshop, such as lifting capacity or handling space. These details help us agree on practical delivery arrangements before shipment.
