C50 Steel

Product Description:

C50 is a medium carbon steel (with a carbon content of approximately 0.50%) that is widely used in the manufacturing of mechanical and structural components requiring moderate strength, hardness, and wear resistance. It is a non-alloy steel that can be heat-treated to improve its mechanical properties. The steel is commonly used in industries like automotive, machinery, and construction for parts such as shafts, gears, axles, and other mechanical components.
