FAQ's

What is EN 9 steel and why is it widely used?

EN 9 is a medium carbon steel grade containing 0.50–0.60% carbon, known for its high tensile strength, good wear resistance, and excellent hardenability. It offers a balanced combination of strength and toughness, making it suitable for engineering and automotive components that demand higher mechanical performance than mild steel. EN 9 can be flame or induction hardened and is commonly used in shafts, gears, spindles, rollers, and other parts subjected to dynamic stresses.

What are the key chemical and mechanical properties of EN 9 steel?

EN 9 steel has a chemical composition of 0.50–0.60% carbon, 0.60–0.90% manganese, 0.10–0.35% silicon, and controlled levels of phosphorus and sulfur with the balance being iron. It provides tensile strength between 75–115 ksi (517–793 MPa) and yield strength ranging from 35–80 ksi (241–552 MPa), depending on its condition. Its hardness varies between 130–210 Brinell and 70–90 Rockwell B, while elongation is 15–30%. These properties make EN 9 a versatile engineering steel with good machinability, wear resistance, and heat treatment response.
