Features

  • High Tempering Stability

    The elevated silicon and manganese content grants 60Si2MnA exceptional resistance to temper softening, ensuring stable hardness after tempering under demanding thermal conditions

  • Superior Hardenability

    With deeper hardening capability than standard 60Si2Mn grades, this steel achieves uniform martensitic microstructure even in thicker sections, leading to reliably high strength

  • High Toughness & Plasticity

    Designed for optimal balance of toughness and ductility, 60Si2MnA delivers outstanding impact resistance and fatigue life in high‑stress spring and mechanical parts

  • Outstanding Wear Resistance

    Excellent abrasion resistance makes it ideal for grinding machine spindles, railway track clips, precision screws, and other wear-intensive components

  • Cost‑Effective Hot‑Working Material

    Offers excellent hot forging performance with relatively low alloying cost, making it a preferred choice for medium‑section springs and dies across heavy industries


Application

  1. Automotive Suspension Springs

    60Si2MnA’s exceptional hardenability, fatigue resistance and elasticity make it ideal for fabrication of coil, leaf and disc springs in heavy‑duty vehicle suspension systems

  2. Railway Fastening Components

    Used extensively in rail anchors, clips and anti‑creepers due to its high elasticity and wear resistance, which help curb rail creep under cyclic loads

  3. Wear‑Resistant Precision Parts

    Perfect for grinding‑machine spindles, spring chucks, precision screws and roller‑bearing rings, owing to its high surface hardness and stable tempering performance

  4. Cold‑Heading Tools & Dies

    Suited for cold‑heading punches, extrusion dies and stamping tools where its toughness and strength significantly extend service life under repetitive forming operations
