Description
S50C is a carbon structural steel with the carbon content of around 0.50%. It features high strength, hardness, and wear resistance, but has relatively poor plasticity and weldability, typically requiring preheating to prevent cracking.
Key Features
1. High hardness and wear resistance (suitable for enhanced heat treatment) 2. Good machinability (especially in the annealed condition) 3. Limited weldability (preheating and post-weld heat treatment required) 4. High strength, suitable for parts subjected to heavy loads
