55Cr3 Spring Steel Bar
55Cr3 is high strength, plasticity and toughness, better hardenability, lower overheat sensitivity than manganese steel, lower decarburization tendency than silicomanganese steel, and greater temper brittleness spring steel. It is used to make leaf springs with heavier load and greater stress and coil springs with larger diameters in the vehicle and tractor industries.The outstanding advantage is the good hardenability, and the thermal processing performance, comprehensive mechanical performance, and decarburization resistance are also good for various important springs with large cross-sections, such as large leaf springs and coil springs for automobiles and locomotives.
