Application
EN1A (230M07) can be used in a broad range of commercial applications which include:
- Control linkages, shafts, low stress hubs, casings and handles
- Brake Hose Ends, Hydraulic Parts
- Brake Pistons, Wheel Nuts and Inserts
- Gearbox Components (if case-hardened)
- Padlock Shackles, Vice Jaws
- Studs, Nuts & Bolts.
