EN-36

A medium-carbon, low-alloy steel specifically made for case hardening applications, EN-36 (Case Hardening Steel) offers a hard, wear-resistant surface following carburizing or induction hardening, as well as a robust, ductile core. To increase strength, fatigue resistance, and hardenability, it adds nickel, manganese, and chromium. Because of its exceptional wear resistance, dimensional stability, and machinability in the annealed state, EN-36 is a popular option for high-performance mechanical parts in the engineering and automotive industries. It is used extensively for gears, shafts, spindles, cams, and automotive components.

Key Features

• Medium Carbon, Low Alloy Steel – Designed for case hardening with controlled carbon content.
• High Wear Resistance – Ideal for gears, shafts, cams, and spindles.
• Reliable for Heavy-Duty Applications – Commonly used in automotive, engineering, and industrial machinery.
• Good Machinability in Annealed State – Easy to machine before hardening.
