Boron Steel

Boron steels add a tiny amount of boron to raise hardenability, so low-carbon grades can be cold headed easily and still reach high strength after heat treatment. They are standard for high-tensile fasteners.

When to Choose Boron Steel

  • The part is a cold-headed bolt, screw or fastener
  • Easy cold forming and high final strength are both needed
  • A lower-cost substitute for alloy steel is wanted
  • The part will be quenched and tempered
