Title: 080M40 - Non-alloyed 0.40% carbon steel

Material Specification: 080M40 Associated Standard: Supply Condition: BS970-1: 1983 Untreated Normalised Drawn As Rolled As Forged Bright Drawn Bright Turned

Surface Conditions:

DESCRIPTION A medium carbon steel offering moderate tensile strengths. The material is capable of through hardening by quenching and tempering but is more common supplied in the untreated or normalized condition. Machinability similar to that of mild steel can be expected, however weldability is reduced. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Axles, spindles, studs and many automotive and general engineering components.
