Alloyed case hardening steel for the parts which require high core tensile strength and high hardness. Susceptible to average seized parts with high wearing resistance and variable loading such as: gears, screws, bolts, bushing, camshafts.
Steel adjusted for cutting with a cutting machine. The carburising temperature range can be higher than provided in the file (depending on the carburising process)
