    EN8 Steel: BS970: 1955 EN8, BS970/PD970: 1970 Onwards

    EN8 is a medium carbon steel that is readily machinable and suitable for manufacturing parts like axles, shafts, gears, and bolts. It can be supplied untreated or heat treated to improve properties. EN8 possesses good machinability and consistent properties when heat treated. For larger sections over 63mm, it is better to supply EN8 untreated and do heat treating after initial machining to achieve better properties towards the core. EN8 has a carbon content between 0.36-0.44% and can be surface hardened to 50-55 HRC for enhanced wear resistance.

    Quality Policy
    EN8 is usually supplied untreated but can be supplied to order in the
    normalized or finally heat treated (quenched and tempered to "Q" or "R"
    Contact properties for limiting ruling sections up to 63mm), which is adequate for a
    wide range of applications. Please refer to our selection guide for
     
    comparisons.

    EN8 is a very popular grade of through-hardening medium carbon steel,


    which is readily machinable in any condition. (Refer to our machinability
    guide). EN8 is suitable for the manufacture of parts such as general-purpose
    axles and shafts, gears, bolts and studs. It can be further surface-hardened
    typically to 50-55 HRC by induction processes, producing components with
    enhanced wear resistance. For such applications the use of EN8D (080A42)
    is advisable. It is also available in a free-machining version, EN8M (212A42

    EN8 in its heat treated forms possesses good homogenous metallurgical


    structures, giving consistent machining properties.

    Good heat treatment results on sections larger than 63mm may still be
    achievable, but it should be noted that a fall-off in mechanical properties
    would be apparent approaching the centre of the bar.

    It is therefore recommended that larger sizes of EN8 are supplied in the


    untreated condition, and that any heat treatment is carried out after initial
    stock removal. This should achieve better mechanical properties towards th
    core.
