EN9 is a medium-carbon engineering steel (≈ 0.50-0.60% C) that provides good strength, machinability and wear resistance, and can be surface-hardened for enhanced durability.

Key Features

EN9 offers a well-balanced combination of medium-carbon strength and wear resistance, with the option for flame or induction hardening for high surface hardness while still maintaining decent toughness.

Typical Applications
  • Shafts and axles
  • Crankshafts and cams
  • Sprockets, gears and bushes
  • Knives, hammers and machine tool parts
  • General engineering components requiring moderate strength and wear resistance
Forms of Supply

Supplied as hot-rolled or normalized round bars, flats, plates and blocks, in full or cut lengths for delivery across the UAE and Gulf region.

Technical Specifications

Chemical Composition
  • Carbon (C): 0.50-0.60% – Provides the medium-carbon base strength and hardenability.
  • Manganese (Mn): 0.50-0.90% – Improves toughness and ductility.
  • Silicon (Si): 0.10-0.40% – Adds strength and supports machining.
  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.05% – Limits brittleness.
  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.05% – Maintains machinability.
Mechanical Properties
  • Tensile Strength: 600-700 MPa (normalized) up to ~850-1000 MPa (quenched & tempered)
  • Yield Strength: ≥ 310 MPa (normalized) up to ≥ 570 MPa (quenched & tempered)
  • Elongation: Around 12-14% depending on condition
  • Hardness (HB): Approx. 201-255 HB (normalized) up to 248-302 HB (quenched & tempered)
