C55 Carbon Steel Round Bar (UNS G10550)
C55 Round Bar is a high carbon steel grade known for its high strength, hardness, and excellent wear resistance. With a carbon content of approximately 0.55%, this steel offers superior mechanical performance compared to medium carbon grades. Identified internationally as UNS G10550, C55 steel is widely used for applications that require high surface hardness and load-bearing capability, especially after heat treatment.
Key Features
- Higher carbon content for increased hardness and strength
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
- Good response to quenching and tempering
- Suitable for heavy-duty mechanical applications
- Reliable performance under high stress conditions
- Cost-effective alternative to alloy steels
