EN24 and EN24T Steel: BS970: 1955 EN24, BS970/PD970: 1970 Onwards

EN24 is an alloy steel that is readily machinable when heat treated. It can be supplied up to 250mm in size in the quenched and tempered condition, offering superior properties to other grades. Larger sizes are recommended to be supplied annealed and then heat treated after machining to achieve better core properties. EN24 is commonly used for heavy duty axles, shafts, gears and other components and can be further surface hardened to improve wear resistance. It also maintains good impact strength at low temperatures for applications like hydraulic equipment.

EN24 and EN24T Steel

BS970: 1955 EN24, BS970/PD970: 1970 onwards 817M40.


Related European grades: 34CrNiMo6, Werkstoff No. 1.6582
US Grade: SAE (AISI) 4340.

EN24 is usually supplied in the finally heat treated condition (quenched and tempered to
"T" properties) up to a limiting ruling section of 250mm, which is superior to grades
605M36, 708M40 or 709M40 - see properties below. Please refer to our selection
guide for comparisons.

EN24 is a very popular grade of through-hardening alloy steel, which is readily


machinable in the "T" condition. (Refer to our machinability guide). EN24T is most
suitable for the manufacture of parts such as heavy-duty axles and shafts, gears, bolts
and studs. EN24T can be further surface-hardened typically to 58-60 HRC by induction
or nitride processes, producing components with enhanced wear resistance.

In addition to the above, EN24T is capable of retaining good impact values at low
temperatures, hence it is frequently specified for harsh offshore applications such as
hydraulic bolt tensioners and shipborne mechanical handling equipment.

EN24 sections larger than 250mm may still be available in the quenched and tempered
condition, but it should be noted that a fall-off in mechanical properties may be apparent
approaching the centre of the bar.

It is therefore recommended that larger sizes are supplied in the annealed (softened)
condition, and that quenching and tempering is carried out after initial stock
removal. This should achieve better mechanical properties towards the core.
