Low alloy quench and tempering steel

Machine steel is a group of steels that offers high strength whilst they´re also well suited for machining. Machine steel is often used for machine parts such as:

• Piston rods
• Shafts
• Cylinders
• Other components that require a high level of mechanical properties

Machine steel is weldable to some extent. The higher the carbon content in the steel, the more difficult the steel is to weld. The carbon content should ideally be below 0.25% for the steel to be weldable.
