Case Hardened Steel

Superior durability

Smiths High Performance has developed secondary case-hardened gear and bearing steels with a single objective in mind.

To reduce failures in gearboxes, camshafts and input shafts by utilising improved ultra-strength steel.

Our steel alloys utilise efficient M2C precipitate strengthening dispersion to provide our customers with a specially designed product which affords an ultra high strength core with excellent fracture toughness. Our gear steels also offer the same carburised surface properties as conventional gear steels such as AISI 9310 and EN36C.

PRODUCT RANGES
Steel alloys are ideal for applications requiring high-strength.

Outstanding Strength

Steel isn't a low-density alloy, but it's strength makes it an important engineering material for motorsport applications.

Fasteners & Fixings

Fasteners are made from 300M steel due to the alloy's ultra-high strength and fatigue resistance.

Net Zero

We are committed to carbon emissions reduction and are working to Net Zero status by 2030,

Industry Demand

Significant advances in engine design have inevitably increased power; this has led to failures in dog rings, racks, input shafts, camshafts and gears.

Developing higher specification materials, which also utilise the same beneficial qualities of standard commercial products, allows us to provide engine designers with an option to increase performance without compromising reliability.

ENHANCED ALLOYS
Steel alloys are used in engineering applications throughout the automotive sector and motorsport.Case hardening is a treatment process which makes steel alloys much harder, stronger and durable, while retaining a softer core.
Case-hardened steels are used in motorsport to limit failures in applications such as gearboxes and drivetrains.

Gear Steels

We supply two high-performance steel grades, designed specifically for the production of gears and bearings - Ferrium® C61 and Ferrium® C64.

Both products represent a superior alternative to conventional steel products. Features include ultra-high-strength, high toughness and a core which resists high temperatures. The resulting alloys allow engineers to design smaller and more lightweight engine components.

FERRIUM® ALLOYS
We are a steel stockholder with grades and forms suitable for motorsport engineering.Our steel alloys are used in all forms of motorsport.
Our Ferrium® alloys are explicitly designed for gear manufacture.

Modern Stockholding

Our head office includes a state-of-the-art warehouse with cantilever racking to stock and supply engineering materials to the motorsport market.
