What is en in EN8 steel?

EN8 Steel: EN8 is through-solidifying medium carbon steel which is frequently utilized for making axles, shafts, apparatuses, jolts, and studs.

What is full form of EN8 material?

EN8 engineering steel, also know as 080M40, is an unalloyed medium carbon steel. EN8 is a medium strength steel with good tensile strength. It is suitable for shafts, stressed pins, studs, keys etc.

Manganese 0.60-1.00%
Sulphur 0.050 Max

What is EN8 used for?

EN8 is widely used for applications which require better properties than mild steel but does not justify the costs of an alloy steel. EN8 can be flame or induction hardened to produce a good surface hardness with moderate wear resistance. EN8 is available from stock in bar and can be cut to your requirements.

What are the chemical properties of steel?

Carbon is the principal hardening element in steel. Hardness and strength increase proportionally as Carbon content is increased up to about 0.85%. Carbon has a negative effect on ductility, weldability and toughness. Carbon range in ULC Steel is usually 0.002 – 0.007%.

What is the meaning of EN8?

Is EN8 an alloy steel?

EN8 is an unalloyed medium carbon steel which is used in applications where better properties than mild steel are required but where the costs do not justify the purchase of a steel alloy. EN8 can be heat treated to provide a good surface hardness and moderate wear resistance by flame or induction hardening processes.
