Carbon steel bar, SF55

Model Number: hot forged steel bar -59 Brand Name: Unite Steel Key Specifications/Special Features: Carbon steel bar SF55Applications:Plain carbon steel for mechanical engineering and automotive componentsUsually supplied untreated but can be supplied to order in normalized or finally heat treated (quenched and tempered to "Q" or "R" properties), which is adequate for a wide range of applicationsVery popular grade of through-hardening medium carbon steel, which is readily machinable in any conditionSuitable for the manufacture of parts such as general-purpose axles and shafts, gears, bolts and studsCan be further surface-hardened typically to 50-55 HRC by induction processes, producing components with enhanced wear resistanceIn its heat treated forms possesses good homogenous metallurgical structures, giving consistent machining properties
