    EN8 Carbon Steel: Form of Supply

    Uploaded by

    Excel Hydro Pneumatics (INDIA) EHPI
    EN8 is a medium carbon steel grade commonly supplied as bar stock. It has reasonable tensile strength, typically between 500-800 N/mm2. EN8 can be flame or induction hardened to produce good surface hardness and is used for applications that require better properties than mild steel but do not justify alloy steel. It is available from stock in bar cut to size or as flame cut plates normalized to size.

    EN8 Carbon Steel

    EN8 steel stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the UK. 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 an alloy steel. EN8
    can be flame or induction hardened to produce a good surface hardness with moderate wear resistance. EN8
    is available from stock in bar and can be cut to your requirements. We also offer flame cut plates cut to your
    required sizes and normalised. EN8 plates can be supplied surface ground or precision ground.

    We welcome export enquiries for carbon steel. Contact our sales office and consult our shipping policy for further
    details.

    Applications

    EN8 is widely used for many general engineering applications. Typical applications include shafts, studs, bolts,
    connecting rods, screws, rollers.

    Analysis

    Carbon 0.35-0.45% Phosphorous 0.06% max

    Manganese 0.60-1.00% Sulphur 0.06% max

    Silicon 0.05-0.35%
    Flame Cut Profiles

    West Yorkshire Steel are suppliers of EN8 flame cut steel profiles. A hard edge can occur when flame cutting EN8
    plate, therefore this grade is commonly normalised after flame cutting. EN8 flame cut profiles can be supplied
    Lumsden ground or precision ground.

    Ground Flat Stock

    Precision ground flat stock / gauge plate can be produced using EN8 steel. Subject to size suitability and
    availability of raw material pieces can be produced in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Standard and non-standard
    sizes are available.

    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. Quench in 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.
    Heat Treatment

    Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking 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 consult your 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 BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please
    request when placing any orders.

    Quality Assured Supply

    EN8 is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001 : 2008 registration.
