080M40

080M40 is a medium carbon steel grade known for its good balance of strength, toughness, and wear resistance. It contains approximately 0.4% carbon, along with elements like manganese and silicon, enhancing its mechanical properties. This steel is often used in applications requiring high strength, such as gears, axles, and shafts. It can be heat-treated to improve hardness and strength further. While 080M40 offers good machinability, it requires care in welding due to its susceptibility to cracking. Its versatility makes it a popular choice in engineering and manufacturing sectors where durability and reliability are essential.
