SCM420 steel is one of popular alloy steel used as engineering steel. Fushun Specialsteel is one of leading supplier of SCM420 steel materials in reliable quality.

SCM420 Steel one steel grade in JIS standard. SCM420 steel is one of popular alloy steel used for engineering purpose, like fasteners, high pressure pipe and more advanced carburized parts, such as gear, shaft, etc. which work in the noncorrosive medium and temperature below 250 ℃, working with nitrogen hydrogen mixture in the medium.

The quench-hardening ability of SCM420 steel is higher, no temper brittleness. The weldability of SCM420 steel is also very good, with excellent machining or cutting properties. The tendency of cold crack formation is very small, but machinability and cold straining plasticity is still good.
