Manganese 0.25-0.50% Molybdenum 0.15-0.30%
Silicon 0.10-0.35% Sulphur 0.040% max
Phosphorous 0.035% max

Case hardening of EN39 will give a hard wear resistant surface and a tough core strength to the steel. Surfaces must be free from dirt and grease, and of low sulphur content. Case hardening can be carried out in salt baths with selected content depending on the type of salt and the depth of penetration required. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Time, temperatures and salt selection will be advised by your heat treatment provider.

Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each EN39 component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and the work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of EN39 steel.

EN39 case hardening steel is available with BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please request when placing any orders.
