En-8 (1040) Carbon Steel
EN8 steel stock holders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the Middle East. It 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. It 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. It 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.
