1. Key Properties
Hexagon Transmission ST37 is a low-carbon, mild steel commonly used in a variety of mechanical applications. It offers good machinability, weldability, and formability while maintaining a balance between strength and ductility. ST37 has moderate tensile strength and impact resistance, making it a versatile choice for parts that undergo moderate stress and wear. Its ability to be easily welded and processed makes it ideal for transmission components and other industrial applications.
2. Applications/Industries
Automotive: Transmission shafts, gears, and other drive components that require moderate strength and durability.
Heavy Machinery: Structural parts and components that need good weldability and formability.
Construction: Beams, supports, and frames where moderate strength is sufficient.
Industrial Equipment: Components such as couplings, axles, and spindles for mechanical systems that don’t require extremely high-strength material but still need reliable performance.
Power Transmission: Parts in gearboxes and mechanical power transmission systems that experience moderate load conditions.
3. Certifications/Standards
