PAZON
The Nitrocarburized 27SiMn Rod (27SiMn QPQ Rod) is precision-machined from premium 27SiMn silicon-manganese alloy structural steel in a non-heat-treated condition (core hardness ≤250 HB) and treated with an advanced QPQ (Quench-Polish-Quench) nitrocarburizing process—consisting of nitriding, oxidation, polishing, and re-oxidation. This produces an exceptionally dense white layer and a robust diffusion zone without the need for chrome plating. Thanks to the alloying effect of silicon and manganese, 27SiMn steel exhibits excellent nitriding response, achieving significantly higher surface hardness than plain carbon steels. This chrome-free, environmentally superior rod is engineered for ultra-high-pressure, heavy-duty and highly corrosive environments such as hydraulic cylinders, mining machinery, hydraulic supports and underground equipment—an ideal choice balancing eco-compliance and ultimate performance.
Diameter: Mainly φ6–300 mm, larger custom sizes accepted
Length: ≤8000 mm, custom lengths available
Straightness: ≤0.2 mm/M
Tolerance Grades: IT6–IT9
OD Tolerance: According to ISO f7/f8/g6/h7/h8/h9; customized tolerances available upon request
Ovality: Half of the tolerance value ISO f7
Core Condition & Hardness: Non-heat-treated (as-rolled/cold-drawn), core hardness ≤250 HB
Surface Modification Treatment: QPQ nitrocarburizing (Nitriding + Oxidation + Polishing + Re-oxidation)
Diffusion Layer Depth: 0.30–0.40 mm
White Layer (Compound Layer) Thickness: ≥25 μm
Surface Hardness: ≥650 HV (typical on white layer; Si-Mn alloying significantly boosts surface hardness)
Surface Roughness: Ra≤0.2 μm, Rt≤2 μm (after polishing)
Corrosion Resistance: Tested in neutral salt spray per ISO 9227/ASTM B117 – 200 hours, rating 9 per ISO 10289
Weldability: Poor (moderate to high carbon equivalent limits weldability; the QPQ layer must be mechanically removed before welding, with strict high-temperature preheating and post-weld stress-relief tempering; welding on load-bearing areas is strictly prohibited)
Packing: Anti-rust oil + cardboard tube/plastic sleeve + wooden case
Eco-friendly & chrome-free: QPQ technology contains no hexavalent chromium, fully compliant with RoHS and green manufacturing standards
Extremely high surface hardness: thanks to silicon and manganese, the white layer hardness reaches ≥650 HV, delivering ultimate scratch and wear resistance
Superior corrosion resistance: 200-hour salt spray rating 9, outperforming traditional chrome plating in acidic mine water, high humidity and salt spray environments
Excellent base strength: 27SiMn alloy steel offers higher strength than plain carbon steels even in non-treated condition
Outstanding dimensional stability: low process temperature ensures minimal distortion, ideal for high-precision rods without extra straightening
No delamination risk: metallurgically bonded compound and diffusion layers completely eliminate peeling and spalling failures of traditional chrome plating
Low friction coefficient: self-lubricating QPQ surface significantly reduces seal friction, cutting energy consumption and extending maintenance intervals
Fully customizable: extensive choice of dimensions, tolerances, core conditions and alternative surface treatments to flexibly meet premium OEM requirements
In addition to the standard QPQ finish, we offer:
Custom diameters and lengths, including extra-long or oversized rods
Tolerance grades and non-standard OD tolerances
Higher straightness upon request
Quenched & Tempered core for further improved overall strength and fatigue life
Alternative surface treatments: hard chrome plating, electroless nickel, zinc plating, laser cladding, thermal spray, ceramic coating
Special case depth requirements or selective nitriding protection
Enhanced corrosion resistance and dedicated packing solutions
