Mat.No. 1.1213, DIN Cf53, AISI 1055

Designation by Standards

Chemical Composition (in weight %)

Description Unalloyed structural carbon steel. Applications Steels for superficial hardening: Piston bolts, chain bolts, gear shafts, gear wheels, worms and camshafts. Physical properties (avarage values) at ambient temperature Modulus of elasticity [10³ x N/mm²]: 210  Density [g/cm³]: 7.84 Soft Annealing Heat to 650-700^oC, cool slowly. This will produce a maximum Brinell hardness of 223. Normalizing Temperature: 830-860^oC. Stress Relieving Stress relieving to remove machining stresses should be carried out by heating to 120-200^oC, holding for one hour at heat, followed by air cooling. This operation is performed to reduce distortion during heat treatment. Hardening Harden from a temperature of 810-845^oC followed by oil or water quenching. Hardness after quenching is 57-62 HRC. Tempering Tempering temperature: 550-660^oC. Mechanical Properties in Hardened+Tempered Condition

Forging Hot forming temperature: 1050-850^oC.  Machinability No data.
