Case-Hardening Steel

Case-hardening steels are low-carbon alloy steels that are carburised to give a hard, wear-resistant surface over a tough core. They are the standard choice for gears, pinions and transmission parts.

When to Choose Case-Hardening Steel

  • The surface must resist wear and contact fatigue
  • The core must stay tough under shock loads
  • The part is a gear, pinion, cam or transmission component
  • The part will be carburised or carbonitrided
