CASE HARDENING STEEL EN353
CASE HARDENING STEEL EN353
En 353 steel has carbon substance of 0.17% and the most widely recognized type of steel as it's gives material properties that are adequate for some automobile applications such as heavy duty gear, shaft, pinion, cam shafts, gudgeon pins.
It is neither remotely weak nor ductile because of its lower carbon substance and lower hardness. As the carbon content increases, the metal becomes harder and stronger.EN 353 steel is an easily available and cheap material that is acceptable for heavy duty applications.
