About En8 VD Route And Annealed Forged Block
EN8 SteelEN8 steel is a medium carbon steel known for its good tensile strength and machinability. It is commonly used in applications requiring higher strength than mild steel, such as shafts, gears, and bolts.
Key Features of EN8 Steel:
- Composition: EN8 steel typically contains 0.36-0.44% carbon, 0.60-1.00% manganese, and small amounts of silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus.
- Mechanical Properties: It offers good tensile strength, typically around 700-850 N/mm, and a yield strength of about 465 N/mm.
- Heat Treatment: EN8 can be heat treated to improve its mechanical properties. It is often supplied in the normalized or annealed condition to enhance its machinability and toughness.
VD Route:The Vacuum Degassing (VD) route is a steelmaking process that removes dissolved gases like hydrogen and nitrogen from the molten steel. This process improves the steels quality by reducing the risk of defects and enhancing its mechanical properties.
Annealed Round Bars:Annealed round bars of EN8 steel are heat-treated to relieve internal stresses and improve machinability. The annealing process involves heating the steel to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it. This results in a softer and more ductile material, making it easier to machine and form.
Applications:EN8 steel round bars are widely used in the manufacturing of:
- Shafts
- Gears
- Bolts
- Studs
- Automotive components
