EN 10083‑2 Grade C45R Steel – Quenched & Tempered (QT) for High‑Performance Applications
Steel C45R is suitable for mean loaded components with improved workability while maintaining mechanical qualities in vehicle manufacturing, engine and machine engineering (e.g. transmission shafts, gear wheels, transmission parts, bolts). As a bright steel product it is used in the form of bars, bright, straight, in different conditions (see DIN EN 10277).
