EN 10083‑1 Grade C45E Quenched & Tempered Steel – High‑Performance for Automotive & Machinery Applications

Steel C45E is suitable for mean loaded parts of higher dimensions (large forged parts) and more complex form in vehicle manufacturing and machine engineering (e.g. shipshafts, transmission parts, wheel hubs). Lowest working temperature -25 °C, favorable creep behavior up to 480 °C. As a bright steel product it is used in the form of bars, bright, straight, in different conditions (see DIN EN 10277).
