Steel Rod,bars and Wire for Cold Heading and Cold Extrusion
Technical Delivery Conditions for Steels Not Intended for Heat Treatment After Cold Working
C20C The content of chemical element composition(%)
| Ingredients | C | Si ① | Mn ② | P | S | Al ③ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Min. Value | 0.18 | - | 0.7 | - | - | 0.02 |
| Max. Value | 0.22 | 0.1 | 0.9 | 0.025 | 0.025 | 0.06 |
For grades used in hot-dip galvanizing, the silicon content can be specified as 0.15 to 0.35%. In this case, the mechanical properties will be affected.
The minimum manganese content should be stipulated within the range of 0.20%.
The aluminium content can be replaced by other elements that can play the same role.
