EN 10083-2 Grade C55 quenched (+Q)
EN 10083-2 Grade C55 quenched (+Q) introduction
Steel C55 is suitable for higher loaded parts requiring enhanced wear resistance in vehicle manufacturing, engine and gear engineering. Preferred application for parts undergoing a surface hardening, lower risk of tearing for larger and more complex components than C60 (e.g. gear wheels, shafts, indented roller).
