EN 10277-5 Grade C40E cold drawn and quenched and tempered (+C+QT)
EN 10277-5 Grade C40E cold drawn and quenched and tempered (+C+QT) introduction
Steel C40E is suitable for heat-resistant screws and larger forged parts as well as for parts of complexer form (e.g. gear wheels, camshafts) in vehicle and machine engineering. Lowest application temperature -25°C.
As a bright steel product it is used in the form of bars, bright, straight, in various conditions (see DIN EN 10277 : 1999-10).
