EN19

EN19 Grade Introduction:

EN19 Steel is a high-quality engineering alloy steel containing chromium and molybdenum. It falls in a class of low alloy steel. It has high fatigue strength, abrasion and impact resistance, toughness, and torsion strength. It can be heat treated in a number of ways to give it a combination of properties. EN19 Steel is one steel grade in BS 970-1955 standard, which is the specification for wrought steels for mechanical and allied engineering purposes. Although there is a new version of BS 970-1996 latest edition. And EN19 steel grade is similar to the 709M40 grade in the new version. EN19 Alloy Forging Steel.

EN19 Grade Application:

  • Originally introduced for use in the machine tool and motor industries for gears, pinions, shafts, spindles, and the like.
  • Later applications extended to the oil and gas industries.
  • Suitable for applications such as gears, bolts, studs, and a wide variety of applications where a good quality high tensile steel grade is suited.
