EN Series Steel Round Bars

Product Details:

EN36C gives a hard case with a strong core, whilst retaining a remarkable degree of toughness.

Carburizing / Case Hardening:

• Case hardening will give a hard wear resisting surface and tough core strength to the steel.
• Case hardening temperatures range from 860-960°C, 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 640-650°C. 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.

EN47 is suitable for oil hardening and tempering. When used in the oil hardened and tempered condition EN47 spring steel combines spring characteristics with good wear and abrasion resistance. When hardened EN47 offers excellent toughness and shock resistance which make it a suitable alloy spring steel for parts exposed to stress, shock and vibration.

Forging:

• Preheat the steel carefully, then raise temperature to 1050°C for forging.
• Do not forge below 840°C. After forging EN47 spring steel cool slowly, preferably in a furnace.

Annealing:

• Heat slowly to 820-840°C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace.

Hardening:

• Heat slowly to 650-700°C and thoroughly soak.
• Continue to heat the steel to the final hardening temperature of 830-860°C and allow the component to be heated through. Quench in oil.

Tempering:

• Temper the EN47 spring steel component immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm.
• Re-heat 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 this grade will be between 400-600°C.

Heat Treatment:

• Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times etc. will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each component.

BS970: 1955 EN24, BS970/PD970: 1970 onwards 817M40. Related European grades: 34CrNiMo6, Werkstoff No. 1.6582 US Grade: SAE (AISI) 4340. EN24 is usually supplied in the finally heat treated condition (quenched and tempered to “T” properties) up to a limiting ruling section of 250mm, which is superior to grades 605M36, 708M40 or 709M40 – see properties below. Please refer to our selection guide for comparisons. EN24 is a very popular grade of through-hardening alloy steel, which is readily machinable in the “T” condition. (Refer to our machinability guide). EN24T is most suitable for the manufacture of parts such as heavy-duty axles and shafts, gears, bolts and studs. EN24T can be further surface-hardened typically to 58-60 HRC by induction or nitride processes, producing components with enhanced wear resistance. In addition to the above, EN24T is capable of retaining good impact values at low temperatures, hence it is frequently specified for harsh offshore applications such as hydraulic bolt tensioners and shipborne mechanical handling equipment. EN24 sections larger than 250mm may still be available in the quenched and tempered condition, but it should be noted that a fall-off in mechanical properties may be apparent approaching the centre of the bar. It is therefore recommended that larger sizes are supplied in the annealed (softened) condition, and that quenching and tempering is carried out after initial stock removal. This should achieve better mechanical properties towards the core.

EN45 is a manganese spring steel. That is to say, it is a steel with a high carbon content, traces of manganese that effect the metal’s properties, and that it is generally used for springs (such as the suspension springs on old cars). It is suitable for oil hardening and tempering. When used in the oil hardened and tempered condition EN45 offers excellent spring characteristics. EN45 is commonly used in the automotive industries for the manufacture and repair of leaf springs. Tempered EN45. The typical re-enactor’s weapon is made from hardened and tempered EN45. These weapons are made by professional smiths, and their properties depend substantially on the skills and choices made by the smith. Much depends on the hardness to which the blade is tempered. The Rockwell scale is generally used as a measure of this hardness. I believe that at the present date most UK armourers temper to between 52 and 54 on this scale. Harder blades are more likely to suffer from chips and breakage, while softer blades are more likely to bur and require more frequent maintenance. To begin with all tempered swords swill pick up more damage than they will later in their life. This is because of the process of work hardening: every blow compacts the metal on the edge of the sword making it more resistant to future blows.

Forging:

• Preheat the EN45 carefully, then raise temperature to 1050°C for forging.
• After forging cool slowly, preferably in a furnace. Soak for 1 hour at 2150 F (1177 C) prior to forging.
• Do not work below 1850 F (1010 C). Post-work solution treatment is required prior to final hardening.

Annealing:

• Heat slowly to 640-680°C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace.

Tempering:

• Temper the EN45 spring steel immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm.
• Re-heat 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 will be between 400-550°C.

Heat Treatment:

• Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times etc. will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each component.
• Other considerations during the heattreatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities.
