C60 / 1.0601 is a high carbon structural steel belonging to the European standards EN 10083-2 and EN 10250-2. It is widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, automotive components, and tooling, where high strength and wear resistance are required. Therefore, you can find its equivalents in different national standards, such as American Standard ASTM 1060 (ASTM A20), Japanese Standard S58C (JIS G4051), Chinese Standard 60# (GB/T 699), and British Standard 080A62 (BS 970).

DIN C60 1.0601 (equivalent to AISI 1060, JIS S58C, and BS 080A62) is a premium high-carbon structural steel compliant with EN 10083-2 and EN 10250-2 standards. Renowned for its exceptional strength and wear resistance, this steel is a staple in industries demanding durable components.
With a carbon content of 0.57-0.65%, it strikes a balance between hardness and workability, making it ideal for applications requiring both heavy load tolerance and abrasive resistance. Supplied in untreated or normalized conditions, it exhibits high strength but moderate toughness; however, after quenching and tempering (QT), its mechanical properties are significantly enhanced—boasting increased hardness and wear resistance. This versatility ensures it meets the needs of diverse sectors, from machinery manufacturing to automotive engineering.

· High Carbon Content: The 0.57-0.65% carbon ensures superior hardness and strength, critical for load-bearing components.
· Heat Treatment Versatility: Responds well to quenching and tempering, achieving HRC 28-32 (common range) for enhanced wear resistance.
· Wide Size Availability: From small cold-drawn bars (Φ3mm) to large forged blocks (up to 800mm thick), it adapts to varied manufacturing needs.
· Surface Finish Options: Includes turned, milled, ground (±0.05mm tolerance), and polished finishes for precision applications.
· Mechanical Manufacturing: Used for high-stress springs (automotive suspensions, industrial equipment), cutting tools, and stamping dies—leveraging its hardness after heat treatment.
· Automotive Industry: Critical for transmission gears and shafts, where strength and wear resistance prevent premature failure under heavy use.
· Construction: Ideal for high-strength structural parts in bridges and buildings, as it withstands long-term heavy loads.
· Bearings & Wear-Resistant Parts: Manufactured into high-load bearings and wear plates for machinery, thanks to its ability to resist abrasion.
