Description and characteristics

Common unalloyed steel for carburizing and hardening.

In carburized and quenched condition it is used for light-duty structural parts with soft core and hard case, for eample pins, shafts, axles, hubs.

In normalized condition it is used for washers, rods, screws, nuts and other fasteners. Pressable and machinable.

C10 has more sulphur and therefore is better machinable. C10D has less silicon.
