EN 10269 Grade C45E quenched and tempered (+QT)
EN 10269 Grade C45E quenched and tempered (+QT) introduction
Steel C45E is suitable for mean loaded components in vehicle and machine engineering which have larger dimensions (large forged parts) and more complex forms (e.g. ship shafts, gearbox parts, wheel hubs). Lowest working temperature -25 °C, good creep behavior up to 480 °C
The steel as a bright steel product is used in the form of rods, bright, straight, in different conditions (see DIN EN 10277 : 1999-10).
Further application for mounting elements at increased temperatures.
