Louis Metals provides Carbon Steel EN‑44 bars from Houston, which provide robust solutions for engineering and automotive industries. EN‑44 is a heat-treatable medium-carbon alloy that has excellent toughness, resistance to wear, and shock-absorbing properties. We provide these bars in quenched and tempered conditions to ASTM B446/B447 standards, providing reliable sizing and mechanical properties for industrial applications.
EN–44 has a strength of about 0.90–1.20% carbon and 0.45–0.70% manganese. It has tensile strength of 700–850 MPa with a hardness of about HB 230–290
. The composition of the alloy provides a balance of ductility and strength so that it can resist wear and fatigue.
