C55S, 1.1204 - specification and application

Spring steel with low hardening capacity designed for lightweight springs and springs, washers and spring elements, small tool blades, small dimensions equipment with carbon range of approx. 0.55% for heat improvement, patenting or cold deformation.

Supplied in the form of cold-rolled tapes and wires for oil hardening. After heat treatment, the steel exhibits a tempered martensite structure and is prone to decarburizing and oxidation during heat treatment.
