Make components that last a lifetime

EN353 is a low-alloy case-hardening steel - developed as a more affordable alternative to En 36C - and may be carburized and hardened and tempered to produce a hard wear-resistant case. It is a very high strength steel alloy with good ductility and wear resistance. With relatively good impact properties at low temperatures, EN353 is also suitable for a variety of elevated temperature applications.
