50mm Diameter Mild Steel Round EN8 – High Strength, Versatile Engineering Steel
The 50mm diameter mild steel round bar in EN8 grade is an excellent choice for a wide range of engineering and industrial applications. Known for its high strength and toughness, EN8 is a popular medium carbon steel, making it ideal for machining, fabrication, and mechanical projects requiring superior mechanical properties.
Key Properties:
- Material: Mild steel
- Grade: EN8
- Shape: Round bar
- Diameter: 50mm
- Weight per metre: 15.41kg
Excellent Machinability and Weldability
One of the standout features of this EN8 mild steel round bar is its excellent machinability, making it ideal for precision work in turning, milling, and drilling applications. Whether you're using manual or CNC machines, EN8 offers excellent performance, allowing for clean and accurate cuts. In addition, the steel's high weldability ensures secure and durable joints when welding, making it suitable for structural and engineering projects.
Versatile and Reliable
EN8 is particularly valued in the automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries due to its balance of strength and workability. It is highly versatile and can be used in the production of shafts, gears, fasteners, and general machinery parts. This grade of steel offers good tensile strength while remaining tough and durable, allowing it to perform well under stress without significant deformation.
Corrosion Resistance and Finish
While the 50mm EN8 mild steel round bar provides strength and durability, it has poor corrosion resistance, which is typical for mild steel. This means it may require additional protective coatings or treatments in environments where it could be exposed to moisture or corrosive elements. The bar comes in a mill finish, giving it a raw, unpolished surface, suitable for various machining and fabrication processes.
Applications:
The 50mm diameter EN8 mild steel round bar is widely used in:
- Automotive parts: Ideal for manufacturing shafts, axles, and fasteners.
- Construction projects: Can be used in structural components due to its strength.
- General engineering: Suitable for machinery parts, gears, and fittings.
Conclusion:
For engineers, machinists, and fabricators looking for a versatile and high-strength steel option, the EN8 mild steel round bar in 50mm diameter is an excellent choice. Its combination of good formability, excellent machinability, and weldability, along with its high strength, makes it a reliable material for a variety of industrial and engineering applications.
