High-Cleanliness Steel

M1 | High Cleanliness and High Carbon Steel

Overview & Features

M1 is our original steel grade, a material lined up for textile machinery parts.
Based on SK95 (high carbon steel with Carbon content of about 0.95%), this grade has good heat treatment properties and high cleanliness, and has improved wear resistance by adding Molybdenum.

Mechanical Properties

The mechanical properties (typical values) of M1 in each finish are shown in the table below.

Quenching and Tempering

M1is 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.

Cleanliness

General steel made under normal manufacturing conditions inevitably contain some non-metallic inclusions during its steelmaking process, which can sometimes be a problem in applications where high reliability is required.
M1 and M2 are high-cleanliness steels equivalent to SK4, in which a special refining process is added to the conventional steelmaking process to reduce inclusions. Although not as good as ESR steels, they are particularly suitable for applications where life and fatigue properties are important.
