EN-353
EN 353 is a European standard designation for a specific type of alloy steel, commonly used in the automotive industry for components like gears, shafts, and other parts requiring high strength and wear resistance. It is a case-hardening steel, meaning it can be treated to have a hard surface layer while retaining a relatively softer core.
