Boron steels

Medium carbon steels with the addition of boron to give the hardenability equivalent to higher carbon and low alloy steels to EN10083 part 3.

Boron steels are ideal where through hardening is important in achieving consistent wear performance. Improved levels of toughness are attained compared to high carbon steels.

Typical applications: Shovels, harrow discs, mower blades, agricultural knives and chain side plates.
