DIN 17222 C75 1.0605 Cold Rolled Steel Strips for Springs

Cold rolled steel strip for springs is distinguished by high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality and, in the cold rolled + hardened + tempered condition (H + A) offers the possibility of achieving high values of hardness, tensile strength and elastic limit.

C75 1.0605 Introduce

C75 1.0605 steel is one of the higher carbon steels used for high hardness in the fully hardened condition. In such condition the steel is more brittle than the lower carbon steels. Applications include springs.
