2" (50.8mm) Diameter Mild Steel Round Bar EN24T High-Strength Alloy Steel for Heavy-Duty Applications - Linear Metre

The 2" (50.8mm) Diameter Mild Steel Round Bar EN24T is a high-strength alloy steel widely known for its excellent toughness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. This steel is ideal for heavy-duty applications, especially in the aerospace, automotive, and engineering sectors where parts are subjected to high stress. Below are the key attributes of this steel round bar:

• Material: Manufactured from EN24T mild steel, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy known for its high tensile strength and toughness. This grade is heat-treated, making it capable of withstanding heavy loads and stress.

• Formability: Exhibits poor formability, meaning it is not suitable for extensive bending or shaping processes. Due to its high strength, EN24T is challenging to form, but it is excellent for use in pre-shaped, high-strength components.

• Weldability: With poor weldability, EN24T requires special welding techniques, such as preheating and post-weld heat treatment, to maintain its structural integrity. Standard welding methods may cause cracks or weaken the material.

• Machinability: Known for its excellent machinability, EN24T is well-suited for precision machining tasks. It can be easily turned, milled, and drilled, making it a top choice for creating high-strength, high-precision components.

• Shape: Available in a round bar form, this bar is perfect for the production of cylindrical components, such as shafts, axles, and gears. The round shape is ideal for applications requiring rotational symmetry and balance.

• Corrosion Resistance: Has poor corrosion resistance, meaning it is prone to rust and oxidation when exposed to moisture or corrosive environments. For enhanced durability, it is recommended to apply protective coatings or finishes.

• Diameter: The bar has a precise 2" (50.8mm) diameter, making it suitable for applications where exact dimensions are critical. This precision is essential in industries such as aerospace and automotive, where tolerances are tight.

• Finish: Supplied in a mill finish, the bar has a standard, unfinished surface that is ready for machining or further finishing. The mill finish is typical for industrial products, allowing flexibility for additional coatings or treatments based on the application's needs.

• Grade: Classified as EN24T, this grade is known for its high-tensile strength and toughness, making it ideal for components that must withstand shock, fatigue, and wear. EN24T is commonly used in the production of gears, shafts, and high-stress machinery parts.

• Weight/Metre: Weighing approximately 16.05 kg per metre, the bar’s weight is important for calculating material handling, shipping, and overall structural load when designing parts.

This 2" (50.8mm) Diameter Mild Steel Round Bar EN24T is ideal for demanding industrial and engineering applications requiring high tensile strength and excellent machinability. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of components such as drive shafts, gears, bolts, and other high-stress parts. While it may require additional protection against corrosion and special techniques for welding, its high strength and durability make it a premium choice for heavy-duty engineering tasks.
