Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
S20C exhibits a predominantly ferritic-pearlitic microstructure with fine grain size that provides excellent balance of strength, ductility, and toughness. The low carbon content ensures superior weldability and cold forming characteristics, while the controlled manganese content contributes to strength and hardenability. The microstructure promotes excellent machinability and surface finish quality essential for structural applications.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled hot rolling at 1150-1200°C followed by controlled cooling to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Normalization at 870-920°C can be applied to refine grain structure and improve uniformity. Stress relief annealing at 600-650°C is recommended for welded structures to minimize residual stresses and enhance dimensional stability.
Manufacturing Process Excellence
Our advanced manufacturing process includes continuous casting, controlled hot rolling with precise temperature monitoring, and accelerated cooling systems. MetalZenith's quality control includes real-time chemical composition monitoring, mechanical property testing, and surface quality inspection to ensure consistent structural performance.
Specialized Quality Testing
Comprehensive testing protocols include welding performance evaluation using standard welding procedures, cold bending tests to assess formability, rotating beam fatigue testing for cyclic loading applications, and salt spray testing for atmospheric corrosion resistance. These tests ensure optimal performance in structural and mechanical applications.
Application Engineering Considerations
For building structural frameworks, S20C provides excellent weldability and forming characteristics essential for complex geometries. In bridge construction, the material's fatigue resistance and atmospheric corrosion properties ensure long-term durability. For mechanical manufacturing, the consistent mechanical properties and machinability enable precision component production. In vehicle manufacturing, the steel's formability and crash energy absorption characteristics meet safety requirements. General engineering applications benefit from the material's versatility and cost-effectiveness.
