EN16

Technical Datasheet
Engineering Steel Service. Quality. Value.

Applications Key features:


• Connecting rods • High tensile steel
• High load couplings • More resistant to shear loading and frictional wearing
• Pistons than EN8
• High tensile shafts • Good mechanical properties
• Gears • Good shock resistance

Product Description Machinability


EN16 is a high tensile steel which has excellent ductility and Readily machinable
good shock resistance. EN16 shares the same good
mechanical properties of EN8 but is more resistant to Related material specifications
shear loading and frictional wearing. It is an alternative
alloy steel grade to other chromium and nickel high tensile BRITISH BS 970:1991 605M36T
steel specifications and is readily machinable in the BRITISH BS 970:1955 EN16T
supplied condition. EN16 is a popular 'all-rounder' and is
used in a wide variety of general engineering applications.
