Case studies
Three problems our customers brought us, what we changed, and what happened afterwards. Customer names are withheld at their request — the engineering is not.
16MnCr5H · 20 mm Round · h9
“Consistent hardenability across every batch — with full traceability for our IATF audit.”
Leading Gear Manufacturer
Waluj MIDC, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
- Case depth held inside drawing tolerance across successive batches on the unchanged carburising cycle
- Rejections at final inspection reduced — the drift-driven failure mode was removed
EN1A PB · 12 mm Hex & 14 mm Round · h10
“The machines stopped jamming on the night shift. That alone paid for the grade change.”
High-Volume Fastener Manufacturer
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar MIDC
- Chip-related stoppages on the unattended night shift substantially reduced
- Longer tool life between changes on the high-speed automatics
EN8D · 25 mm & 32 mm Round · h9
“Consistent hardness meant we stopped adjusting the tempering cycle for every new lot.”
Hydraulic Cylinder Manufacturer
Waluj MIDC, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
- Tempering cycle stabilised — no per-lot adjustment on trial pieces
- Hardness of finished rods held inside the specified range more consistently

If a grade is not behaving the way your process needs, tell us what is happening. Often the answer is a variant of the same steel, not a different one.
