Versatile Dimensions and ApplicationsEN8 Bars are designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of industrial requirements, featuring diameters between 10mm to 600mm and customizable lengths up to 6 meters. Their adaptability makes them indispensable in sectors such as automotive, construction, and general engineering. These bars can be finished in bright, black, peeled, turned, or polished surfaces to meet the desired aesthetics or technical needs of a project.
High-Performance Material PropertiesWith a hardness range of 201-269 HB, yield strength of at least 430 MPa, and tensile strength not less than 550 MPa, EN8 Bars offer a balanced profile for toughness and machinability. They are produced to strict tolerances (H8 to H12) ensuring consistency for machining or fabrication. Their adherence to global standards makes them a reliable choice for manufacturers demanding assured quality.
FAQ's of EN8 BARS:
Q: What are the main industrial uses of EN8 Bars?
A: EN8 Bars are primarily used in manufacturing parts that require better strength and moderate wear resistance, such as shafts, gears, studs, bolts, and automotive components. Their versatility makes them suitable for machinery and engineering applications.
Q: How are EN8 Bars manufactured to ensure quality and consistency?
A: EN8 Bars are manufactured using hot-rolled or cold-drawn processes. They are then finished with processes like peeling, turning, or polishing to achieve the required surface quality and dimensional accuracy according to international standards such as AISI, ASTM, and more.
Q: Which finish options are available for EN8 Bars and why do they matter?
A: EN8 Bars are available with bright, black, peeled, and turned & polished finishes. The finish improves the bar's appearance, corrosion resistance, and suitability for specific machining needs, depending on the intended application.
Q: What are the advantages of using EN8 Bars with customized dimensions and tolerances?
A: Custom dimensions and tolerances (H8 to H12) ensure that EN8 Bars precisely fit requirements, minimizing further machining, reducing wastage, and improving assembly efficiency in manufacturing processes.
Q: When should you choose EN8 carbon steel over other grades?
A: EN8 carbon steel is ideal when you need a good balance between strength and machinability, along with moderate wear resistance. It is typically chosen for medium-duty engineering components where these attributes are essential.
Q: Where can EN8 Bars be sourced in India?
A: EN8 Bars can be sourced from various dealers, distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, producers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers across India, ensuring wide availability and prompt supply for industrial needs.
