Full Hardening Steel

Full Hardening Steel En19 EN19 is a high quality alloy steel with a combination of good ductility and shock resistance EN19 is suitable for applications with very high loading such as engine gear boxes. Popular in the automotive sector it is possible to machine the material extremely accurately. EN19 has become an established material in the Oil & Gas automotive mining and engineering sector. The material lends itself well to any application where strength is a primary consideration . Key Features High quality alloy steel High tensile steelGood ductility and shock resistance Good wear resistance Can be induction hardened Chemical Composition Element Min Max Carbon C 0.35 0.45% Manganese Mn 0.50 0.80% Silicon Si 0.10 0.35% Molybdenum Mo 0.20 0.40% ChromiumCr 0.90 1.50% Sulfur S -.-- 0.05 Phosphorous P -.-- 0.05 Hardening This steel grade is commonly supplied ready heat treated. If further heat treatment is required annealed EN19 should be heated slowly to 860-890C up to 60mm thickness and after adequate soaking at this temperature quench in oil. Temper as soon as tools reach room temperature. Tempering Heat carefully to a suitable temperature selected by reference to a tempering chart or table. Tempering between 250-375C is not advised as tempering within this range will reduce the impact value .Soak at the temperature for 2 hours per 25mm of ruling section then allow to cool in air.
