Explaining The Difference Between En8 And 8.8 Steel As Indicted
8.8 Is Iso 898–1 Grading For Bolts And Screws. It Indicates A Bolt/Screw With
Tensile Strength Of Minimum 800 M Pa And A Yield Strength Of 80% Of 800 M Pa = 640 M Pa.
Depending On Thickness These Are Either Quenched And Tempered Or Can Also Be Used
Without Q&T Provided They Meet The Hardness And Tensile Requirements.
En8 Is A Medium Carbon Steel Usually Supplied Untreated. En8 Has Good Tensile
Strength And Is Often Used In Applications Such As: Shafts, Gears, Stressed Pins,
Studs, Bolts, Keys Etc.
