Hardened steel |

 |
Hardened steel is the term used for a medium or high carbon steel that has been given special heat treatments. Hardened steel is used on some cable winches as it strong, hard, and resists wear. | |||
Drop forged steel |
||||
 |
Some cable winches have parts that are made of ‘drop forged steel’. Drop forging is the process where a hammer is raised then ‘dropped’ onto the workpiece to deform it into the required shape/form, either by hand or machine.
Drop forged steel provides cable winches with high strength. |
