PROPERTIES OF EN 24 and EN 28

This is further to the details already given for EN8 and EN24 Steels earlier. It is from BS 971 standard steels, now have changed in numbers, which I do not have at present. EN24 is a (1.5% Ni,Cr,Mo) steel in US equivalent to SAE 4340, Chemical Composition % - Carbon 0.35-0.45/ Silicon 0.10-0.35/ Manganese 0.45-0.70/ Nickel 1.30-1.80 / Chromium 0.90-1.40/ Moly 0.20-0.35/ Sulphur 0.050 (max)/ Phosphorous 0.050(max). Mechanical Properties Limiting Ruling Section (in) - 6 Tensile Strength (tons/sq.in.) - 55 (min) Proof Stress (tons/sq.in.) - 41 (min) Elongation % - 18 (min) Izod Impact Value (Ft.Lb.) 40(min) Weldability - POOR Application - High tensile steel suitable for pump shafts and turbine rotors in general and for similar uses. Non-preferred but sometime used in place of EN 27 steel when the later not available. EN8 in US equivalent is to AISI - C 1038/ C1041, Chemical composition % - Carbon 0.35-0.46/ Silicon 0.05-0.35/ Manganese 0.60-1.0/ Sulphur 0.06(max)/ Phosphorus 0.06(max). Mechanical properties - normalised /hardened and tempered Limiting Ruling Section (in) - 6 /2 1/2 Tensile Strength (tons/sq.in) - 35 (min) /40 (min) Yield Strengh (tons/sq.in.) - 18 (min) /28 (min) Elongation % - 20 /22 Izod Impact Value (Ft.Lb) - 25 (min) Weldability POOR Application - Medium strength material used for nuts, for high tensile studs and for rotor forgings. Obtainable in various grades A,B,C,D, and E according to properties required
