EN8 (BS970 080M40) is a medium carbon steel round bar widely specified for shafts, gears, bolts, axles, and studs in general engineering applications. Nifty Alloys stocks EN8 round bar across a range of diameters, supplying UAE, GCC, and international buyers with EN 10204 3.1 certified material backed by full mill traceability.
What is EN8 Carbon Steel?
EN8 (BS970 080M40) is a medium carbon steel containing 0.36–0.44% carbon and 0.6–1.0% manganese, with a typical tensile strength of 550–700 N/mm² in the normalized condition. It is a through-hardening, unalloyed grade valued for consistent mechanical properties across a section.
EN8 is selected where alloy steel performance isn't required but reliable strength, wear resistance, and machinability are. It responds well to through-hardening and tempering, making it a standard choice in general engineering, automotive, and industrial fabrication work.
