Applications
- Agricultural implements, tool holders, clutch discs, shafts, arrows, chisels.
- Applications include hand tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, and similar objects.
- Forged product should be annealed before any hardening treatment.
Characteristics:
- Construction machinery steel. Wear resistance: clutch discs, transmission shafts, tool holders, agricultural implements, etc.
- Considered high carbon, it exhibits good forgeability, not recommended for welding processes; when in a tempered condition, it reaches hardness close to 65 HRc.
- When properly hardened, the structure consists of carbon-rich martensite free of carbides.
