Material Description:
Low alloy steel, carbon, nickel, molybdenum. A multi-purpose, economical material that offers various strength, hardness, and wear resistance properties depending if it is heat treated and the heat treat process used. Magnetic. Can be plated or coated for corrosion resistance. Used by a very wide range of industries including, automotive, consumer product, firearms, power hand tools, structural, and applications where good strength, hardness and wear resistance is required.

A quench and temper heat treat is a typical and economical process that offers various strength and wear resistance properties depending upon the final hardness.
