EN24 | 817M40 ALLOY STEEL-BS 970

EN24/817M40 alloy steel manufacturers and suppliers,supplied with round rods,square/flat bars,rollers,shafts,blocks and forging pieces.

EN24 steel is a common nickel-molybdenum alloy steel according to BS standard. It is a high strength steel and has good comprehensive mechanical properties. EN24 steel  is usually supplied in the finally heat treated condition which is widely used in the manufacture of the camshaft and connecting rod of engine parts, poor processability, belongs to the typical difficult-to-machine materials.

Heat Treatment
Normalizing For EN24
1.Nominal normalizing temperature:840-900°C
2.Hold the temperature for several hours
3.Cooling in the air

Annealing  For EN24
1.Nominal Annealing temperature:800-860°C
2.Cool slowly in the furance
3.Maximum Brinell hardness of 270

Hardening and Tempering(QT)  For  EN24
1.Nominal Hardening temperature:830-865°C
2.Hold at this temperature then quench in oil
3.Tempering  as soon as possible when the temperature low to ambient temperature
4.Heat the steel carefully to a suitable temperature selected by reference to a tempering chart or table
5.The usual tempering temperature is 600°C which depending on the actual requirements
6..keep the material out of the furnace ,then cool in the air
