A quiet but powerful revolution is underway in the heart of India's automotive sector. In 2024, a clear trend has emerged: major Indian automakers are strategically shifting to C45 steel for manufacturing crankshafts. This move is not a mere material update; it's a calculated engineering decision that is redefining engine performance, durability, and competitive advantage.…

A machine grinds to a halt. Production stops. Deadlines are missed, and costs skyrocket. For countless manufacturers in India, this scenario is all too familiar. A staggering statistic reveals a hidden culprit: approximately 80% of machine failures can be traced back to the selection of substandard or inappropriate materials, with shafts being a primary point…

In the high-stakes world of heavy machinery and automotive manufacturing, the choice of steel is not just a line item—it's the foundation of your product's performance, reliability, and lifespan. Selecting the wrong grade can lead to catastrophic failures, costly warranty claims, and a tarnished reputation. This is especially true when choosing between two titans of…

In the world of high-performance engineering, selecting the right material is the first step toward success. For industries like automotive, heavy machinery, and gear manufacturing, this choice often comes down to two leading case hardening steels: 20MnCr5 and 16MnCr5. While they appear similar on the surface, their subtle metallurgical differences have significant implications for performance,…

In the demanding world of automotive and precision engineering, gear durability is not just a feature—it's a fundamental requirement. The relentless pursuit of performance, efficiency, and longevity has led engineers to seek materials that can withstand extreme stress and wear. One such material, born from the precision of German engineering, is 16MnCr5 steel. This case-hardening…

Mumbai's infrastructure boom runs on one steel grade that 90% of contractors have never heard of. While engineers debate high-tensile alloys and specialized rebars, a versatile and cost-effective material is quietly forming the backbone of countless projects. This unsung hero is C20 steel, a low carbon variant that offers a unique combination of strength, workability,…

In the world of manufacturing, selecting the right material is a critical decision that impacts performance, cost, and product quality. For years, SAE 1018 has been a go-to low carbon steel in India. However, a formidable alternative, S20C steel, is rapidly gaining favor among precision engineers and automotive OEMs. But what makes S20C a compelling…

India's automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by a push for greater efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. A key material at the heart of this shift is SAE 1018 low carbon steel. In 2024 alone, consumption of SAE 1018 within the sector surged by a remarkable 340%, signaling a major change in manufacturing preferences.…

C35 steel is a medium carbon steel widely used by automotive manufacturers for producing components that require good strength and wear resistance. Automotive firms in Indiana—especially in cities like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville—depend on reliable C35 steel imports to meet production demands for OEM parts, gears, and shafts. What is C35 Steel? Medium carbon…

EN15 and EN18 are alloy steels commonly used for forged components requiring toughness, strength, and wear resistance. Understanding their differences helps manufacturers select the best steel for forging applications. Overview of EN15 and EN18 Both steels have chromium and nickel alloys. EN18 typically has higher carbon content. Both suitable for heat treatment and forging. Chemical…
