C35300 are the standard materials for machining (machining index 100 %). These alloys are also particularly suitable for hot stamping when the forged parts are subsequently machined extensively. Is recommended for applications where cold working with little reduction such as knurling is used. The ductility of this material makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture of wires as well as rods and sections.
