EN16 is a high tensile steel which has excellent ductility and good shock resistance.
EN16 shares the same good mechanical properties of EN8 but is more resistant to shear loading and frictional wearing. It is an alternative alloy steel grade to other chromium and nickel high tensile steel specifications and is readily machinable in the supplied condition. EN16 is a popular 'all-rounder' and is used in a wide variety of general engineering applications.
EN16 engineering steel is more resistant to shear loading and frictional wearing than EN8. With good mechanical properties this high tensile steel has good shock resistance.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock EN16 in flats, round bar, square bar and hexagon bar.
