EN8 as a forging ingot
EN8 ingots are cast for forged shafts, discs and general engineering parts where a plain carbon analysis is enough.
Kesari Alloys casts EN8 in square, fluted and round shapes from M1.5 to M22, with vacuum degassing, ladle refining and bottom pouring. See the ingot size chart for dimensions and weights.
Heat treatment: Normalised, or hardened and tempered. Hardenability is limited, so it suits smaller sections.
