Applications
- Shafts, crankshafts, and connecting rods in machinery and vehicles.
- Gears, pinions, and pulleys subjected to mechanical stresses.
- High-strength bolts and fasteners.
- Springs and plates in high-demand applications.
- Rollers, guides, and machinery parts with moderate wear.
Characteristics:
- High mechanical strength and wear resistance.
- Good response to heat treatments, such as quenching and tempering.
- Moderate weldability, requiring preheating and post-treatment.
- Good machinability.
- High toughness, suitable for dynamic stresses and impacts.
- Surface hardening capability, ideal for parts subjected to friction.
