Availability:
Characteristics:
This material is the highest carbon steel available from special steel merchants in South Africa for
general use
Heat treatment only to limited ruling sections
It lends itself to induction hardening and shorterising (flame hardening)
Care should be taken that hardened components are properly tempered after quenching in water as
the material can become “glass hard” and brittle
Should small components require a “glass hard” surface, temper by boiling in brine for 30 minutes
minimum. Brine of 9% salt in water is required
This steel is also used to make machine collets. After quenching, ensure that the components are
tempered three times (spring tempering)
Machinability is good but allow 6% on outside diameter for removal of surface defects
Material can be welded on but is not recommended
Ideal for 45 ton tensile applications
Not recommended for carburising
