Case hardening steels
UNI EN 10132-2
Case hardening steel has a content of carbon < 0,30 % and combines an optimum core ductility with a superficial resistance. This type of steel is often hardened in order to increase the outstanding hardness and to ensure core malleability. Thanks to its microstructure and mechanical properties, hardening steel is well suited for punching, fine-blanking and cold forming. Hardening steel is used for gear axle, bevel gear, plugs, automotive transmission, automotive engine controls etc.
