SKS51 | High Carbon Steel

Overview & Features

SKS51 is a high carbon steel with about 0.80% Carbon, to which Nickel and Chromium are added to increase toughness.

Examples of Applications

Handsaws, Cutter Blades, Industrial Equipment

Available Shapes

Manufacturable Range (COIL, SHEET)

This is the manufacturing range of coils and sheets we manufacture.

Unless otherwise specified, we manufacture in accordance with JIS standards.
[note 1]"M" at the end of JIS steel grade symbol means steel grade corresponding to JIS G3311 Cold rolled special steel strip, and M may be abbreviated in some cases.

Overseas standards are listed as equivalent or similar to our materials, so please use them as a reference.

Although cold rolled special steel is usually supplied in a rolled condition (as-rolled or rolled finish), we can manufacture it from the softest annealed finish to the hardest full hardened finish.
You can select the finish that best suits your needs and application.

SKS51 is a steel grade that can be quenched.
The general quenching condition is [Oil cooling at 790~850℃(Water Cooling at 760~820℃ ) ].
After holding for tens of seconds to several minutes depending on sizes, shapes, required properties, and quenching method, cooling is performed.
Water cooling is harder to quench, but due to the risk of quenching distortion and quench cracking, oil cooling may be used in some cases.
Please select tempering temperature according to required hardness and toughness by referencing quenching and tempering curve.

Cold Rolled Special Steel Strips

We manufacture carbon steel (SC material) and carbon tool steel (SK material) that conform to "JIS G 3311 Cold Rolled Special Steel Strip" and "JIS G 4802 Cold Rolled Steel Strip for Springs", as well as our own composition-adjusted steel grades for special applications.
