1040 carbon steel plate

AISI 1040 equivalent to EN8/080M40. An unalloyed medium carbon steel. AISI 1040 is a medium strength steel with good tensile strength. Suitable for shafts, stressed pins, studs, keys etc.

Product Details

Product Advantages

AISI 1040 carbon steel is an EN8 steel equivalent that has high carbon content and can be hardened by heat treatment followed by quenching and tempering to achieve 150 to 250 ksi tensile strength. Specifically, it is equivalent to EN8/080M40. It is a medium-strength steel with adequate tensile strength.
