EN26W Steel (826M40) – High Strength Engineering Steel

You need a steel grade that combines high strength, toughness, and reliability. EN26W steel, also known as 826M40, gives you exactly that. Engineers use it for applications that demand resistance to shock, fatigue, and wear. You’ll find it in aerospace parts, heavy-duty automotive components, oil and gas tools, and high-strength shafts.

The material contains nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, which strengthen its microstructure and improve hardenability. When you apply proper heat treatment, EN26W achieves tensile strengths above 850 MPa while retaining toughness. That balance makes it a trusted choice in industries where part failure is not an option.

“EN26W steel maintains strength even under dynamic loads. Its toughness under impact gives it an advantage over many alloy steels used in similar conditions.”

Key Features of EN26W | 826M40

• High tensile strength – Good for heavy-duty components and critical applications.
• Good toughness – Retains mechanical properties during shock and under fatigue loads.
• Good hardness – Can be through-hardened and tempered with a strong surface and core.
• Fatigue resistance – Often is used for rotating and impact-prone parts.
• Wear resistance – Recommended for parts that are under continual loading.
