EN8
Unalloyed medium carbon steel supplied as round bar, shaft and cut-to-size blanks. The default general-engineering grade where mild steel is not strong enough and alloy steel is not required.

Unalloyed medium carbon steel supplied as round bar, shaft and cut-to-size blanks. The default general-engineering grade where mild steel is not strong enough and alloy steel is not required.
Higher carbon than EN8, giving greater hardness and wear resistance for mill rollers, wear pins and high-torque drive shafts.
Chromium-molybdenum alloy steel — the standard high-strength grade for gears, spindles, hydraulic components and tooling that must be through-hardened.
Nickel-chromium-molybdenum high tensile steel for the most heavily loaded shafts — marine propeller shafting, crane pins and power transmission drives.
High carbon chromium bearing steel offering very high hardness and dimensional stability after hardening — for bearing races, rollers and precision tooling.
Unalloyed medium carbon steel to the DIN/EN designation, functionally close to EN8. Widely specified on European and OEM drawings.
