Case hardening structural steel

Case hardening structural steel

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers cementable constructional steels at reasonable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer /

Technical specifications

Cementable structural steels include steels with a carbon content of not more than 0.15… 0.20%, which are characterized by high surface hardness at a relatively viscous core. Such a macrostructure is formed as a result of carburization of the surface during long-term high-temperature processing of the initial blanks in a solid, liquid or gaseous carburettor. As a result, hardness and fatigue strength increase.

Urgency of application

Cemented structural steels are used for the production of hull parts of cars and boats, as well as engines to them. In power engineering, such steels have been used to manufacture gears capable of withstanding large cyclic loads and wear on hydroelectric power stations, wind generators, drives of drilling rigs and steam turbine transmissions of power plants. In the general engineering industry, the main applications include forge presses, machine tools, drivetrain of mining and construction equipment, heavy construction cranes, etc.
