En 8 Steel

The chemical composition of EN8 steel, also known as 080M40 or S40C, typically falls within the following ranges:

• Carbon (C): 0.36% - 0.44%
• Silicon (Si): 0.10% - 0.40%
• Manganese (Mn): 0.60% - 1.00%
• Sulfur (S): Maximum 0.050%
• Phosphorus (P): Maximum 0.050%

EN8 steel is a medium carbon steel with good machinability, strength, and wear resistance. Its composition makes it suitable for a variety of applications including shafts, gears, bolts, and other mechanical parts. The balanced blend of carbon and alloying elements contributes to its overall performance and reliability in engineering applications.
