Steel Grade Characteristics Applications
SCM415H
SCM420H
This steel grade is a carburizing and surface hardening steel. Suitable for manufacturing gears, shafts, pistons, automotive and motorcycle parts, and various mechanical components requiring surface hardening by carburizing.
SCM440H This steel grade offers excellent hardenability and is widely used for manufacturing high-strength components requiring both strength and toughness. Suitable for manufacturing shafts, gears, high-strength bolts and nuts, automotive and motorcycle parts, and various mechanical components.
SNCM220H
SNCM420H
This steel grade is a carburizing and surface hardening steel. After heat treatment, it features good surface hardness and wear resistance while maintaining good toughness in the core. Suitable for manufacturing gears, shafts, pistons, automotive and motorcycle parts, and various critical mechanical components requiring surface hardening by carburizing.
SNCM439 This steel grade offers excellent hardenability and high toughness. Suitable for manufacturing shafts, gears, high-strength bolts and nuts, pistons, automotive and motorcycle parts, and various critical mechanical components.
SACM645 This steel grade is a surface nitriding steel. Suitable for manufacturing hot-work tools, plastic injection molding barrels, and various mechanical components.
SUJ2 This steel grade contains high carbon (C) and chromium (Cr) alloys, providing high toughness, wear resistance, and impact resistance. Suitable for manufacturing bearings, shafts, dies, guide pins, bushings, rollers, punches, and various mechanical components.
SUP6
SUP9
This steel is specifically designed for springs and exhibits high elasticity after heat treatment. Suitable for manufacturing springs for automobiles, motorcycles, trains, heavy machinery, and other applications.
SNC631 This steel grade offers excellent hardenability and high toughness. Suitable for manufacturing gears, shafts, crankshafts, ultrasonic components, and various mechanical components.

※For structural alloy steels, we offer diverse products from Aichi Steel (PDF PDF Catalog Download), Kobe Steel (PDF PDF Catalog Download), Sanyo Special Steel (PDF PDF Catalog Download), Nippon Steel (PDF PDF Catalog Download), and Feng Hsin Steel (PDF PDF Catalog Download), categorized by steel grade, dimensions, and pricing.
