Powered by Translate
EN8 carbon steel is a common medium carbon and medium tensile
steel, with improved strength over mild steel, through-hardening
medium carbon steel. EN8 carbon steel is also readily machinable in
any condition. Send RFQ Now

6. Heat Treatment of EN8 Carbon Steel Get Exclusive Steel

Knowledge
EN8 steel is usually supplied untreated but also be able to be
supplied to order in the normalized or finally heat treated, which is You will need such steel
adequate for a wide range of applications. knowledge when you buy
steel materials or sell to
your customers, now or
Tempering – Carbon steel EN8 or 080m40 can be tempered future.
at a heat of between 550°C to 660°C (1022°F-1220°F),
heating for about 1 hour for every inch of thickness, then cool
in oil or water.
Normalising of EN8 bright mild steel takes place at
830-860°C (1526°F-1580°F) then it is cooled in air. SIGN UP !
Quenching: in oil or water after heating to this temperature
will harden the steel.

7. Applications of EN8 Carbon Steel

EN8 steel material is suitable for the all general engineering

applications requiring a higher strength than mild steel such as:

general-purpose axles
shafts,
gears,
bolts and studs.
spindles,
automotive and general engineering components,
other general engineering parts etc.

We supply steel grade EN8 to some customers in middle east like

UAE, Europe countries like UK and also in Africa like south africa.
We will have some EN8 carbon steel promotion at the end of almost
every month. Just send emails with detailed requests for EN8
carbon steels price.
