Applications

Russian state standard (GOST) steel grade.

Available Forms

Bar, plate, sheet, tube, forgings, strip, wire

Uses

Medium-carbon grade for machine parts such as gears, crankshafts, axles, connecting rods, spindles and forgings that need a balance of strength, toughness and machinability. Commonly supplied as bar, plate, sheet, tube and forging.

Heat Treatment

Austenitize at 820–870 °C (oil or water quench depending on section) and temper at 400–650 °C to the required strength/toughness balance.

Precautions

Weldable with standard procedures; preheat may be needed for thick sections or higher-carbon/ alloy grades. Protect from decarburization during heating (controlled atmosphere or protective coating).
