EN8 steel stock holders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the Middle East. EN8 is an unalloyed medium carbon steel grade with reasonable tensile strength. It is normally supplied in the cold drawn or as rolled condition. Tensile properties can vary but are usually between 500 - 800 N/mm². EN8 is widely used for applications which require better properties than mild steel but does not justify the costs of analloy steel. EN8 can be flame or induction hardened to produce a good surface hardness with moderate we arresistance. EN8 is available from stock in bar and can be cut to your requirements. We cut the plates to your required sizes on our band saw cutting machines. Form of Supply Supreme Steel are steel stockholders and suppliers of EN8 carbon steel in round, square, hex, plates and flat bar. EN8bar can be sawn cut to your required length. Steelbar can be supplied, providing a precision ground steel bar to tight tolerances. Contact our experienced sales team who will assist you with your EN8 medium carbon steel enquiry. Plate Flat Diameter Hexagon Applications EN8 is widely used for many general engineering applications. Typical applications include shafts, studs, bolts, connecting rods, screws, rollers. Forging Preheat the steel carefully, then raise temperature to 1050°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C. After forging cool slowly, preferably in a furnace. Annealing Heat slowly to 680 - 710°C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace. Hardening Heat the component slowly to 820 - 860°C and allow it to be heated through. Quenchin oil or water. Tempering Temper the EN8 component immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm. Re-heat the EN8 component to the tempering temperature then soak for one hour per 25 millimetre of total thickness (2 hours minimum) Cool in air. For most applications tempering of EN8 will be between 550 -660°C. Welding We recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you full assistance and information on welding EN8 steel. HeatTreatment Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and so aking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each EN8 steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consulty our heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of EN8 carbon steel. Certification EN8 carbon steel is available with a cast and analysis certificate or a BSEN 102043. 1 mill certificate, please request when placing any orders. Quality Assured Supply EN8 is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001 : 2008 registration.
