Steel insert

Case-hardened steel, also known as cementation steel, combines a hard, wear-resistant outer layer with a tough, strong core. This makes it suitable for heavily loaded components such as gears, shafts, and pins, where wear resistance and fatigue strength must be combined. Discover below the case-hardened steels supplied by Hetraco, including special grades, non-standard dimensions, and small production runs.

For parts subjected to heavy loads, choosing the right material is crucial. Case-hardened steel, also known as cementation steel, is used when a component needs to combine a hard, wear-resistant outer layer with a tough, strong core. This combination makes case-hardened steels particularly suitable for gears, shafts, bushings, pins, and other critical components in machines and systems where downtime is not an option.

The most important properties of structural steel

The specific properties of case-hardened steels result from the carburizing and subsequent hardening of the material. This process introduces carbon into the surface, creating a hard outer layer after heat treatment, while the core remains tough. This ensures high wear resistance, good fatigue strength, and reliable performance under varying loads. Especially when dealing with complex technical specifications, it is therefore important to work with a supplier who understands what is at stake, such as Hetraco.
