DIN 17210 Grade Cm15 soft annealed (+A)

DIN 17210 Grade Cm15 soft annealed (+A) introduction

The steel Cm 15 is used for wear loaded parts with higher core strength in the vehicle and mechanical engineering (e.g. levers, joints, gears). Because of the S-content the steel has a better machinability.
The lowest application amounts to -25 °C, the best application from 5 to 10 mm nominal size.

Equivalent material: NBN C16-3, ISO C15M2, DIN C15R, DIN 1.1140, AFNOR C15R, AISI 1015, SAE 1015, EN C15R, EN 1.1140, ISO C15R, ASTM M1015, ASTM Grade 1015, UNS G10150
