EN 10087 Grade 46S20 – High‑Strength Quenched & Tempered Steel

The free-cutting steel 46S20, suitable for quenching and tempering, is used for bulk parts of higher strength, especially for lower requirements to ductility in transversal direction opposite to comparable C-steels (e.g. C45). Increased cutting speed represents an advantage, the increased cracking risk at rising C-content has to be considered. Application in auto industry, as well as in apparatus equipment and machine engineering (e.g. screws, nuts, small-size parts).
