Steel grade C45E+SH

C45E unalloyed special steel, for quenching and tempering. It is a popular grade of steel, used in many industries. C45E steel is characterized by abrasion resistance and good wear resistance, making it ideal for the manufacture of parts requiring high strength and suitable for the production of parts that are subjected to heavy use and friction. The "E" designation indicates lower concentrations of sulfur and phosphorus compared to the C45 steel grade, so it exhibits greater metallurgical purity but slightly lower machinability. It is used for components subjected to medium operating loads. It is a material readily available on the market and relatively inexpensive compared to other steel grades with similar properties. Due to its carbon content, it is not an easily weldable steel.

Steel grade C45E+SH

Indicates that C45E steel products have been subjected to flaking. The process of peeling steel is an important stage in the production of steel products, affecting the quality, durability and functionality of finished products. It involves removing an outer layer, usually rust, an oxidized or contaminated layer, from the surface of the steel. This operation improves mechanical properties and appearance, and prepares the cleaned substrate for subsequent treatments such as hardening or painting.
