Drive Shafts
Drive shaft which is also known as propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation.
Ju Feng offers the steel material that can be used for drive shaft.
In order to allow changes in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven components, the drive shaft contains one or more universal joints and couplings. Therefore, their materials must withstand strong pressure, while avoiding excessive additional weight to increase reverse inertia.
The materials of drive shaft we recommend are as below.
The materials for drive shaft application that we recommend are as below.

SCM440
Alloy Steel
SCM440 is medium carbon chromium molybdenum alloy steel, which is an alloy steel containing chromium and molybdenum. It has the advantages of stable composition, low harmful elements, high steel purity, small decarburization layer and few surface defects. It is easy to be spheroidized and has low cold cracking rate. It is usually hardened and tempered. The ultimate tensile strength is 850-1000 Mpa. This material achieves a very good balance between strength, toughness and wear resistance. The chromium content of the alloy provides good hardness permeability, and the molybdenum element imparts average hardness and high strength.SCM440 reacts well in heat treatment and it is easy to process under heat treatment conditions. This material provides many desirable properties such as good strength and wear resistance, excellent toughness, good ductility and resistance to high-temperature stresses.
