Description

C*5 is a medium carbon steel is used when greater strength and hardness is desired than in the "as rolled" condition. Extreme size accuracy, straightness and concentricity combine to minimize wear in high speed applications. Turned, ground and polished.



Applications

Quenched and subsequently tempered steel for screws, forgings, wheel tyres, shafts, sickles, axes, knives, wood working drills, hammers, etc.



Physical properties (avarage values) at ambient temperature

Modulus of elasticity [*03 x N/mm2]: **5

Normalizing

Normalizing temperature: ******0oC/air.



Hardening

Harden from a temperature of ******0oC followed by water or oil quenching.



Tempering

Tempering temperature: ******0oC/air.
