Applications
This low-alloy steel finds many applications where high strength, plasticity required such as large and important parts requiring hardening and tempering as heavy load axle for heavy machinery, axle with diameter over 250mm for steam turbine, axle of rotor wing for helicopter, axle of turbo and turbine blade and heavy load transmission part for jet engine, fasteners and gear for crank axle. It's also used for rotor spindle and blade where temperature over 400ºC. It can be used as important part with special properties after nitriding and ultrahigh strength steel after low tempering isothermal quenching.
