C-55 GRADE COLD ROLLED ANNEALED STRIPS

This is a Medium Carbon cold rolled steel strip l with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of this steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting after hardening and tempering. usually in soft annealed condition but can also be supplied in temper rolled hardness in range between 200-300Hv ( band range is +/-40 Hv )

cold rolled strip: This grade of Steel is popularly known as Annealed Steel Strips, Cold Rolled Steel Strips with medium caron, Carbon Steel Strip.

This grade of steel strip is used where fatigue values and elastic limits are not critical, is used for applications in which high strength, hardness and wear resistance are important. This grade of steel strips has good forming, blanking and bending properties.
