C60 | C60E QUALITY CARBON STEEL

C60/C60E carbon steel manufacturers and suppliers,supplied with round rods,square/flat bars,rollers,shafts,blocks and forging pieces.

C60/C60E carbon steel  is a medium carbon steel according to EN standard. It has characteristics similar to that of C55 carbon steel which has high hardness and high strength  after hardening.

C60/C60E steel  is widely used for less exacting springs, shafts, bushings, crankshafts, etc.
