7/8" (22.2mm) Diameter Mild Steel Round Bar EN8 High Strength Engineering Steel for Precision Machining - Linear Metre

The 7/8" (22.2mm) Diameter Mild Steel Round Bar EN8 is a medium-carbon steel product that is ideal for applications requiring strength, durability, and excellent machinability. This round bar is widely used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications due to its toughness and ability to be easily welded and machined. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its key features:

• Material: Manufactured from EN8 mild steel, a medium-carbon steel known for its high strength and hardness, commonly used in automotive, construction, and industrial sectors.
• Formability: It offers good formability, meaning it can be bent, formed, or shaped without compromising its structural integrity, though it's better suited for parts that require moderate deformation.
• Weldability: With excellent weldability, EN8 steel can be welded easily using a range of techniques, making it ideal for fabrications and assembly projects.
• Machinability: The steel provides excellent machinability, allowing for easy and precise cutting, drilling, turning, and other machining processes, which is ideal for high-precision parts like shafts and gears.
• Shape: Available as a round bar, making it suitable for cylindrical components like shafts, dowels, pins, and axles that are often subjected to mechanical stress.
• Corrosion Resistance: The bar has poor corrosion resistance, so it is recommended to apply a protective coating or use it in dry, indoor environments to prevent rust.
• Diameter: The steel bar has a 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter, ensuring precise measurements for use in engineering projects where accuracy is critical.
• Finish: Supplied with a mill finish, a raw, unpolished surface typically used in industrial applications or ready for additional processing like painting or coating.
• Grade: Made from EN8 grade steel, a popular medium-carbon steel known for its tensile strength, toughness, and suitability for high-stress parts like gears, shafts, and axles.
• Weight/Metre: The round bar weighs approximately 3.03 kg per metre, making it easy to calculate the total weight of materials needed for your project.

This 7/8" (22.2mm) EN8 mild steel round bar is a versatile and reliable option for various mechanical and structural applications, such as making gears, axles, studs, and more, offering the perfect combination of strength and machinability for heavy-duty engineering tasks.
