EN 10263-4 Grade Cq45 quenched and tempered (+QT)
EN 10263-4 Grade Cq45 quenched and tempered (+QT) introduction
The cold-upsettable steel Cq 45 can be cold-formed with a low to medium rate of forming according to the usual forming methods on single-stage and multi-stage presses. BEcause of its unfavourable processing properties, Cq 45 should be replaced with steel 35 B 2. It is used for normed screws of strength class 8.8 (in the lower dimension range) as well as for nuts of strength classes 8 and 10.
Equivalent material: GB ML45Mn, ISO C6, JIS SWRCH45K, DIN C45EC, DIN 1.1192, JIS SWCH45K, EN 1.1192
