1.0535 (DIN 17200 : 1987-03) 1.0535 DIN 17200 : 1987-03 DIN 17200 : 1987-03 replaced by DIN EN 10083-1/-2 : 1991-10 Replaced Germany C55 ≥ -25 1.1 1)
1) Remark: Steel C55 is suitable for higher strained parts in vehicle, engine and transmission manufacturing that require an enhanced wear resistance. Preferred application for parts undergoing a surface hardening lower risk of tearing for larger and complexer parts than C60 (e.g. transmission gear wheels, shafts, indented rollers). Lowest appplication temp. -25 °C.
