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. From the automotive trade to wider general engineering applications, EN8 is a popular steel in industry.
EN8 engineering steel is an unalloyed carbon steel with reasonable tensile strength. It can be flame or induction hardened and is a readily machinable material. When heat treated, EN8 offers moderate wear resistance.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
We stock EN8 in flats, round bar, plate, sheet, strip, square bar and hexagon bar.
