How to Choose Quality AS Iron So It Doesn't Bend Easily

AS steel (Assental) is a steel material used for various construction and manufacturing needs, including the manufacture of precision-engineered components. Because it frequently bears loads and pressure, selecting the right AS steel is crucial to prevent warping, wear, or damage during use.

Here's a complete guide to selecting quality AS steel.

1. Pay Attention to Material Type and Composition
AS steel is available in several grades, such as:

• S45C (medium carbon steel)
• SS400 (low carbon steel)
• ST42 / ST37

Stainless Steel Round Bar

The material grade determines:

• Tensile strength
• Resistance to pressure
• Hardness and softness of the steel

For heavy loads or machinery, choose a grade with a higher carbon content, such as S45C, to prevent warping.

2. Ensure Accurate Diameter Tolerances
AS steel is widely used for machine components, so diameter precision is crucial. Choose products with low dimensional tolerances (precision), such as:

• Tolerance H9
• Tolerance H10

Axles with poor precision will be more easily deformed and unstable during use.

3. Check Surface Quality
A good axle surface has the following characteristics:

• Smooth
• No rust
• No scratches
• Uniform color

If the surface is already defective from the start, the risk of warping or cracking during the machining process is higher.

4. Choose Length and Diameter According to the Workload

The greater the workload, the greater the:

• Required diameter
• Required bending resistance

Incorrect size selection can cause the axle to warp during use.
For heavy-duty applications, use a larger diameter for greater stability.

5. Use Products from Trusted Distributors
The quality of axles is influenced by the source of the manufacturer. Choose a distributor that provides products that meet:

• National & international standards
• Complete documentation
• Proven quality
• Consistent precision

A trusted distributor guarantees that the steel is free from alloys or factory defects.

6. Avoid Products with Excessively Low Prices
Excessively low prices are often a sign of:

• Substandard material grade
• Imprecise diameter tolerances
• Material warps more easily

It's better to choose products with a clear origin for safe and durable work.

Conclusion
Choosing AS steel should not only consider price, but also the material, precision, surface condition, size, and supplier credibility. With quality products, the risk of warping can be minimized, resulting in safer work and optimal results.
