EN8 Bright

EN8 Bright

EN8 Bright Bars are medium carbon steel bars that are cold drawn or cold rolled to achieve a bright, smooth surface with tight dimensional tolerances. EN8 is known for its good tensile strength, machinability, and moderate wear resistance. It is commonly used in applications where higher strength than mild steel is required but without the need for alloying.

These bars are ideal for manufacturing shafts, axles, studs, bolts, gears, keys, and general engineering components. The bright finish not only enhances the appearance but also eliminates surface scale, making EN8 Bright Bars suitable for precision machining operations.

Key Features

  • Medium Carbon Composition - Offers a balance of strength and ductility, making it suitable for medium-duty mechanical applications.
  • Bright Surface Finish - Smooth, clean surface achieved through cold drawing/rolling processes; ideal for aesthetic and functional components.
  • High Tensile Strength - Greater strength than mild steel, suitable for load-bearing and torque-transmitting parts.
  • Good Machinability - Excellent for turning, milling, drilling, and threading operations.
  • Hardening Capability - Can be surface-hardened (e.g., flame or induction hardening) to increase wear resistance.
  • Improved Dimensional Accuracy - Close tolerances make it ideal for applications requiring precision fits.
  • Versatile Applications - Widely used in the automotive, machinery, and general engineering sectors.
  • Available in Multiple Shapes - Offered in round, square, flat, and hexagonal forms as per customer requirements.
