Heat Treatment

EN8 or 080m40 can be tempered at a heat of between 550C to 660C

(1022F-1220F), heating for about 1 hour for every inch of thickness, then
cool in oil or water.
Normalizing of EN8 bright mild steel takes place at 830-860C (1526
F-1580F) then it is cooled in air.
Quenching in oil or water after heating to this temperature will harden the

steel.

Flame Cut Profiles

A hard edge can occur when flame cutting EN8 plate, therefore this grade is
commonly normalized after flame cutting. EN8 flame cut profiles can be supplied
Lumsden ground or precision ground.
Ground Flat Stock

Precision ground flat stock / gauge plate can be produced using EN8 steel.
Subject to size suitability and availability of raw material pieces can be produced
in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Standard and non-standard sizes are available.
Applications

EN8 is widely used for many general engineering applications. Typical

applications include shafts, studs, bolts, connecting rods, screws, rollers.
Forging

Preheat the steel carefully, and then raise temperature to 1050C for forging. Do
not forge below 850C. After forging cool slowly, preferably in a furnace.
Annealing

Heat slowly to 680-710C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace.

Hardening

Heat the component slowly to 820-860C and allow it to be heated through.

Quench in oil or water.
Tempering

Temper the EN8 component immediately after quenching whilst tools are still
hand warm. Re-heat the EN8 component to the tempering temperature then
soak for one hour per 25 millimeter of total thickness (2 hours minimum) Cool in
air. For most applications tempering of EN8 will be between 550-660C.
Welding

We recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should

provide you full assistance and information on welding EN8 steel.
