EN8 Steel Properties BS970 080M40 Equivalent Material Tensile Yield Strength
EN8 Steel (BS970 080M40 Material)
En8 steel was renamed 080M40 in 1970. It is a commonly used medium carbon engineering steel with good mechanical properties and is widely used in the manufacture of mechanical parts, such as general axles and shafts, gears, bolts and stud bolts. The standard for this steel is BS970, first published in 1941.
