Engineering steels - Case hardening steels

Components made from case-hardening steels with a low Carbon content are carburised in the surface zone. Subsequent hardening results in a wear-resistant surface layer with a hardness of up to 62 HRC and increased fatigue strength. Alloying elements such as Manganese, Nickel and Chromium increase the core strength. The main areas of application are gear manufacturing and tools in plastics processing.
