Premium Flex Plus Carbon Steel

E"ciency and durability under
considerable crushing and
deformation stress

Construction and trade steels have special properties
that guarantee their appropriate hardness, ductility
and elasticity, as is required for tools such as setters,
hammers and screw clamps, which are exposed to
great force during hammering and clamping. Steels
with a medium carbon content that are used to
make tools have a higher carbon content, resulting
in better durability. A suitable manganese content
increases the tensile strength and ductility of the
material, which is particularly important under high
load conditions. The chrome content reduces the
susceptibility to cracking, while the silicon content
increases the elasticity of tool materials subjected to
strong forces.

Medium carbon steel C45R,
according to EU directive 2000/53/
EC and the EN 10083-2 standards:

› 0,45% carbon for higher tensile strength and better
tempering
› 0,70% manganese for higher tensile strength and
ductility
› 0,35% chrome for higher tensile strength and lower
susceptibility to cracking
› 0,20% silicon for higher elasticity
