Non alloy and alloy engineering steels

These steels are characterized mainly by their utilizisation mechanical properties. They are used generally in softened state then treated before finishing either in the mass by quenching and tempering or at in the surface by superficial quenching,case hardening, nitrogen hardening.

They principally consist of non alloy or alloy steels containing boron, manganese, silicium, nickel, chromium, molybdenum or a combination of these elements.

They are used principally for the manufacturing of :

safety elements (transmission, suspension for carmaking, lorries, railroads)
wear parts for farming machines and yellow goods (civil engineering equipment)
tyre reinforcement (radial inner lining)
welded or seamless tubes
pressure vessels
sheet for aeronautics
