Characteristics
1. With good hardenability, is able to be full hardened when the diameter of cross section is under 300-400mm.
2. It can still maintain good hardness and abrasion resistance at the temperature ranging from 300 to 400.
3. Its toughness is better than that of Cr12.
4. Its volume changes the least in the course of quenching.

Application
Used to manufacturing all kinds of moulds and tools with comparatively larger cross sections
and complex shapes, which can bear heavy shock loads. Complex-shaped piercing dies, panel
boards in the complex die mould, deep-drawing dies for steel plates, wire-drawing dies,
threading screw plates, cold-extruding dies, cold-cutting scissors, circular saws, standard tools,
measuring tools, etc.

Description: C45 is a medium carbon steel is used when greater strength and hardness is desired
than in the "as rolled" condition. Extreme size accuracy, straightness and concentricity combine to
minimize wear in high speed applications. Turned, ground and polished.

Applications: Quenched and subsequently tempered steel for screws, forgings, wheel tyres, shafts,
sickles, axes, knives, wood working drills, hammers, etc.

CAGES
In general, HF or CRC cages are pressed steel ribbon cages & pressed
steel snap cages. For extra-high speed application, synthetic-resin,
stainless steel, nylons will be used upon request.
SHIELDS & SEALS
SPCC is the main material for HF or CRC shields, and carbon steel & stainless steel
can be used upon request.
Buna Nitrile is standard sealing material we use, while fluorocabon, silicone, and teflon
seals are commonly specified for high temperatures.

LUBRICATION
Different types of greases can be supplied for shielded & sealed
bearings and oil for open bearings.
Details pls refer to PAGE15 for more reference.
