EN 24 is a high-quality, medium-carbon alloy steel known for its excellent combination of strength, toughness, and wear resistance, making it ideal for demanding engineering applications. With a carbon content of approximately 0.45%, EN 24 is alloyed with elements like chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which enhance its mechanical properties. This steel grade offers high tensile strength, good fatigue resistance, and excellent hardenability, which makes it suitable for manufacturing components subjected to heavy loads and high-stress conditions, such as shafts, gears, crankshafts, and heavy-duty bolts. EN 24 can be heat-treated to achieve specific hardness levels, providing versatility in applications across the automotive, aerospace, and mechanical industries. It is available in various forms, including bars, plates, and forgings, and is commonly supplied in a quenched and tempered condition to meet the required strength and toughness. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, combined with good machinability and wear resistance, makes EN 24 a reliable choice for critical components that require durability and performance in challenging environments.
