1 Scope
This part of the standard applies for special steel materials used by Brose. Since this steels are a question
of specific developments of the steel suppliers (e.g. modified chemical analysis, special strength etc.),
mostly also with trade-/ brand names, this steels cannot be found in public standards. In this standard are
the chemical requirements as well as the mechanical properties of the particular special steels combined
and specified on basis of the data sheets of the manufactures.
Further information relating to dynamic properties, endurance strength values, forming behavior,
temperature dependence and weldability, plus a comparison of the strength relative to standard steels, can
be found in the appropriate data sheets in SAP/”Docfinder” or obtained from the steel manufacturer in
question.

4 Case hardening steels and tempered steels
4.1 Special case-hardening steel ESP 65
ESP 65 was developed as special case hardening steel for machining properties. Concerning the
machinability the ESP 65 outplays the materials 16MnCr5 and 16MnCrS5 clearly. Uniform material
properties allow very narrow tolerances already by turning and lead to a uniform warping behaviour by
hardening.
Weldability: Limited weldable only, e.g. not suitable for electron beam welding.
Application: Parts requiring intensive machining such as toothed wheels, worm gears, gear components,
shafts.

6 MIM materials (Metal Injection Molding)
So-called MIM parts (MIM = Metal Injection Molding) are manufactured from these materials.
Parts molded using the MIM process are characterized by a high level of mechanical accuracy and high
surface quality and are particularly well suited for complex geometries.
The MIM process is suitable for the production of small, complex components with high strength
requirements.
Design guidelines for MIM parts:
 Wall thickness
To avoid distortions, MIM parts should not be thicker than 5 mm.
 Constant wall thickness
Thickness variations within a part can cause distortion or twisting.
 Avoidance of sharp corners and edges
Sharp corners and edges can cause sunk spots.
 Avoidance of sharp transitions between areas of different thickness
 Flat on one side
If possible, the part should be given a flat contact surface on one side. This improves the injection
process.
 Draft angle
For better demolding the parts should have suitable draft angles.

 Variation of tensile strength within a ring max. 50 MPa;
 Increase of tensile strength by tempering (solution heat treatment/precipitation hardening) about
200 – 450 MPa (recommendation: ~ 450°C batch annealing, 1-3 h; continuous annealing ~
500°C, holding time 3 - 10 min.);
 Tempered state: yield strength ~ 90% of tensile strength;

7.4.3 Quenching and tempering / microstructure
In a multistage process consisting of cold-rolling, heat treatment and cold-rolling again a bainitic
microstructure is adjusted by a definitely temperature of the metal bath. This way of heat treatment is also
mentioned in the DIN EN 10132-4. But there the mechanical properties and hardness requirements of the
spring steels are quoted for the martensitic hardened delivery condition (+QT).

The designer must always remember that the mechanical properties are dependent on the wall thickness of
the cast parts. These values are dissipated through the cast part itself with the result that the properties
are better in the cut area than in the distant, opposite cast area.
It is very difficult to extract suitable sample rods from diecast parts and the associated position in the cast
part. The dimensions and the required properties must always be agreed on between the foundry and the
designer.

9 Special brass ECOBRASS (CuZn21Si3)
ECOBRASS is a lead-free special brass which is outstandingly suited for further processing by means of
forging, cold forging and machining. Its corrosion resistance is considerably better than that of

10 High strength special steels HSX
In spite of a reduced carbon content, already in the delivery condition the HSX- steels are characterised by
high strength and concurrent good machinability. Depending on the requirement the carbon content nearly
can be reduced completely, consequently the danger for cracking by thin walled components, for example,
can explicit reduced.
Based on the above mentioned advantages the HSX- steels definitely describe a commercial alternative
concerning the standard steels for quenching and tempering.
