The St. Petersburg Precision Alloy Plant has successfully mastered cold-rolled strip production from 60C2A and U8A alloys. These materials are widely used for the manufacture of high-load springs, cutting tools and other products whose operating conditions require increased loads.
60C2A is a spring-spring steel with a high content of carbon (approximately 0.6%) and silicon (up to 2%). It is a high-quality material, since the amount of sulfur and phosphorus in it does not exceed 0.025% (of each element). After heat treatment, including hardening and medium tempering, it has an ideal balance of mechanical characteristics:
This ratio of physical and mechanical properties makes 60S2A alloy an excellent solution for the production of heavily loaded springs, spring rings and friction discs.
U8A is carbon tool steel with a carbon content of at least 0.75% and not more than 0.84% and a strictly controlled amount of harmful impurities (sulfur and phosphorus). After heat treatment, including hardening and low tempering, U8A alloy It acquires high strength (tensile strength ≈ 1860 MPa) and hardness (≈ 60 HRC), which makes it ideal for the production of various cutting tools and other wear-resistant products. However, it should be noted that during operation, the cutting edge of tools made of U8A should not be allowed to heat up too much.
