EN-8 carbon steel C-45 Material
EN-8 carbon steel C-45 Material
Specification
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.EN8 steels are generally used in the as supplied untreated condition. But EN8 steels can be further surface-hardened by induction processes, producing components with enhanced wear resistance. Steel EN8 materials in its heat treated forms possesses good homogenous metallurgical structures, giving consistent machining properties.
Application
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.
