D6AC

UNS #K24728

D6AC VAC-ARC steel is a medium carbon, low alloy, ultra-high-strength steel primarily designed for high strength structural applications requiring strength levels up to 280,000 psi. This alloy provides a high yield strength to tensile strength ratio, combined with good ductility. With excellent notch toughness, a tough and fibrous fracture is exhibited to as low as -210F (-134* C) in impact testing, making it ideal for fracture toughness in critical applications at a variety of strength levels. D6AC is produced by consumable electrode vacuum arc remelting process to provide optimum cleanliness and preferred ingot structure, which in turn provide optimum transverse mechanical properties
