Application |
After improvement — crankshafts, connecting rods, gear rims, flywheels, gear wheels, bolts, axles and other parts; after surface hardening with HFC heating — parts of medium size, which are subject to the requirements of high surface hardness and increased wear resistance with low deformation (long shafts, travel rollers, gear wheels). |
