Description

The 20GL steel is used: for the manufacture of disks, sprockets, gear rims, drums and other parts, which are requirements for strength and toughness, working under static and dynamic loads; for the manufacture of 3-th group casting parts of pipe fittings in North version with the testing of impact toughness KCU-60≥300 kJ/m2 (3.0 kgs·m/cm2) operating at temperatures of the working medium from -60 up to +350 °C without restriction of the nominal working pressure; responsible cast parts of automatic coupler and trucks of freight and passenger cars, electric and disulphoton and locomotives.

Note

Cold-resistant steel.
