C60E / 1.1221 Special Steel

C60E / 1.1221 Special Steel is an unalloyed medium carbon engineering steel which has 0.57%-0.65% Carbon as per EN10083 standard.It has characteristics similar to that of 1055 carbon steel which has high hardness and high strength after hardening.C60E / 1.1221 Special Steel is difficult to weld,and machinability is poor due to high carbon content.This steel is generally supplied in an untreated or normalised condition.
