EN 31 is a high-carbon alloy steel known for its excellent hardness, wear resistance, and strength, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring high-performance mechanical properties. With a carbon content of around 0.60%, EN 31 offers superior hardness, which can be further enhanced through heat treatment processes like quenching and tempering. This steel grade is commonly used in the production of components that need to withstand heavy wear and high stress, such as gears, shafts, bearings, and tooling parts. Its high strength and toughness make it suitable for industries such as automotive, engineering, and manufacturing. EN 31's ability to resist deformation under load and retain its shape under extreme conditions ensures its reliability in critical applications. It is available in various forms such as bars, forgings, and plates, and can be supplied in a hardened or tempered condition, depending on the specific requirements. Overall, EN 31 is valued for its superior performance, durability, and versatility in engineering applications.
