15B37H Boron Alloy High Carbon Steel combines a relatively high carbon level with heat-treatment capability. The selected grade is used where strength, hardness, wear performance or hardenability are important.
Controlled boron additions can significantly improve hardenability when metallurgical conditions are suitable.
The 15B family is commonly associated with heat-treated fasteners and automotive components.
Carbon content supports useful strength and hardness after suitable heat treatment.
The grade family is used where controlled hardenability can help achieve repeatable properties.
15B37H Boron Alloy High Carbon Steel is selected for applications where strength, hardness, wear resistance or controlled hardenability are important.
Used for heat-treated fasteners requiring controlled hardenability.
Selected for bolts, pins and formed automotive parts.
Suitable for selected shafts and wear-prone components.
Used for parts requiring a combination of strength and hardenability.
Specify 15B37H together with the required heat-treatment condition and product form.
Boron effectiveness depends on processing and metallurgy, so the required hardenability should be verified on the actual heat.
For critical fasteners or automotive parts, use the governing SAE/AISI specification and certified chemistry and mechanical test results.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for 15B37H Boron Alloy High Carbon Steel in the cross-reference sources checked for this update, so this page does not assign a number. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the applicable product standard and supplier certificate before substitution.
