C60/1.0601

MEDIUM CARBON STEEL

NORM: PN/EN 10083-2

APPLICATION:

Steel adjusted to the parts exposed on heavy loadings and more resistant to abrasion. Such as: wheels, rims, toothed shafts, cylinders, shafts, axles, pins, eccentrics;

TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

After soft annealing, steel becomes machinable; if normalised and soft annealed, steel becomes adjusted for the mechanical cutting.

SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS:

After soft annealing, steel becomes machinable; if normalised and soft annealed, steel becomes adjusted for the mechanical cutting.
