FAQ's

What is EN31 steel and what are its key characteristics?

EN31 is a high carbon, chromium containing alloy steel recognized for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and high tensile strength. It is widely used in applications that demand toughness, abrasion resistance, and fatigue strength. Components such as bearings, shafts, gears, and high-wear machine parts are commonly manufactured from EN31 due to its ability to withstand heavy mechanical stress while maintaining durability and performance.

What are the chemical and mechanical properties of EN31 steel?

The chemical composition of EN31 includes 1.00–1.10% carbon, 1.40–1.65% chromium, 0.40–0.70% manganese, 0.10–0.35% silicon, and low levels of sulfur and phosphorus. It exhibits tensile strength ranging from 90–130 ksi (620–896 MPa), yield strength between 50–105 ksi (345–724 MPa), and elongation of 8–20% depending on the condition. EN31 also offers Brinell hardness of 180–280, excellent fatigue strength, and maintains machinability in its annealed state, making it ideal for precision engineered components.
