EN24 Steel Properties

EN24 / 817m40. EN24 is usually supplied in the T condition with a tensile strength of 850/1000 N/mm2.

EN24 is a popular grade of through-hardening alloy steel due to its excellent machinability in the "T"
condition. EN24T is used in components such as gears, shafts, studs and bolts. EN24T can be further surface-
hardened to create components with enhanced wear resistance by induction or nitriding processing.
