EN36 Case Hardening Steel

EN36 case hardening steel stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the UK. EN36 is a 3% nickel, chromium,
molybdenum grade. Carburised EN36 gives a hard case with a strong core, whilst retaining a remarkable degree of
toughness.
We welcome export enquiries for case hardening steel. Contact our sales office and consult our shipping policy for details.

Diameter
Applications As a carburising steel grade it is suitable for roller and ball bearings of extra light section, aeroplane and motor
crankshafts requiring hard surfaces for roller paths, connecting rods with case-hardened ends, as well as highly
stressed gudgeon pins, gears and certain types of collets.
Carburising / Case
Hardening
Case hardening will give a hard wear resisting surface and a tough core strength to the steel. Case hardening
temperatures range from 860-960C, followed by rapid quenching which will determine the resulting hardness.
Tempering For optimum toughness temper at low temperatures for a minimum of 2 hours. The case hardness should be in
the region of 60-62HRc.

Softening If it is necessary to soften the EN36 for machining between the carburising and subsequent heat treatment
stages, heat to 640-650C. Soak at this temperature for 1 to 2 hours and cool slowly in the furnace or in air.
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 EN36 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 EN36 case hardening steel.
Certification EN36 case hardening steel is available with BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please request when placing any
orders.
