Silico-Manganese Steel Coil Rod for Automotive Axle Shafts

Irregularly wound hot-rolled coils of silico-manganese alloy steel, designed for forging into heavy-duty automotive axle shafts and suspension components. The silico-manganese composition provides high strength and fatigue resistance, critical for automotive drivetrain parts. The coil form is ideal for automated forging processes.

Import Tips & Compliance

• If the product is already forged into axle shafts, it falls under Section XVII (vehicles), not Chapter 72

• Ensure the coils are not further worked beyond hot-rolling

• Provide a mill certificate to verify the silico-manganese composition and avoid misclassification
