1.0401 (DIN 17210 : 1986-09) C 15 1.0401 DIN 17210 : 1986-09 DIN 17210 : 1986-09 replaced by DIN EN 10084 : 1998-06 Replaced Germany 1.1.1 ≥ -25 1)
1) Remark: The steel C 15 is used for wear loaded parts with a little higher core strength in the vehicle and mechanical engineering (e.g. lever, joints, bushes, gears). The lowest application amounts to -25 °C, the best application from 5 to 10 mm nominal size. As bright steel product it is used in the form of rods (bright, straight) in different conditions (see DIN EN 10277 : 1999-10).
