EN 10277-5 Grade C50R quenched and tempered and cold drawn (+QT+C)

EN 10277-5 Grade C50R quenched and tempered and cold drawn (+QT+C) introduction

Steel C50R is suitable for parts in vehicle, engine and machine engineering that require enhanced workability at constant strength qualities (e.g. transmission shafts, gear wheels). 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).
