EN 10277-3 Grade 46SPb20 cold drawn and quenched and tempered (+C+QT)
EN 10277-3 Grade 46SPb20 cold drawn and quenched and tempered (+C+QT) introduction
The free cutting case hardening steel 46SPb20 is used for bulk parts of higher strength, especially for lower ductility demands in transversal direction compared to other C-steels (e.g. C45). Machinability enhancement is achieved by Pb-content. Application in car industry, apparatus, equipment and machine engineering (e.g. screws, nuts, small-size parts). As a bright steel product it is used in the form of bars, bright, straight, in various conditions (see DIN EN 10277 : 1999-10).
Equivalent material: DIN 45SPb20, ISO 46SPb20, DIN 1.0757, DIN 46SPb20, AFNOR 46SPb20, BS 46SPb20, UNI 46SPb20, AISI 41L50, SAE 41L50, EN 1.0757
