TOUGHENING STEEL

NORM: PN/EN 10250-3

APPLICATION:

Steel susceptible to very loaded shafts, crankshafts, connecting-rods, pump and press, control parts, steam turbine shafts and rings.

TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

After soft annealing steel becomes machinable ( by improved shearability) and adjusted for the mechanical cutting.

SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS:
