What type of steel is EN24?
molybdenum alloy steel
EN24 is a 1.5% nickel, 1% chromium, 0.2% molybdenum alloy steel which has a long history dating back over 100 years. EN24 can be heat treated to a wide range of tensile strengths from 850-1000 N/mm² (‘T’ condition) up to 1550 N/mm² (‘Z’ condition).

What is the HRC of EN24?
EN24T can be further surface-hardened typically to 58-60 HRC by induction or nitride processes, producing components with enhanced wear resistance….BS970: 1955 EN24, BS970/PD970: 1970 onwards 817M40.

What is the difference between EN19 and EN24?
However, the EN24 has a tensile strength of 745MPa and a yield strength of 470MPa, Brinell hardness 217. The EN19 has a tensile strength of 655MPa and a yield strength of 415MPa, Brinell hardness 197.
Is EN24 a low carbon steel?
Value. EN24 is a very high strength steel alloy which is supplied hardened and tempered. The grade is a nickel chromium molybdenum combination – this offers high tensile steel strength, with good ductility and wear resistance characteristics.

How do I test EN24 material?
