West Yorkshire Steel are suppliers of EN9 flame cut steel profiles. A hard edge can occur when flame cutting EN9 plates therefore this grade is commonly normalised after cutting. EN9 flame cut profiles can be supplied Lumsden ground or precision ground.


Precision ground flat stock / gauge plate can be produced using EN9 steel. Subject to size suitability and availability of raw material pieces can be produced in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Standard and non-standard sizes are available.


Preheat the steel carefully, then raise the temperature to 1100°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C. After forging cool slowly, preferably in a furnace.


Heat the steel slowly to 680-710°C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace.


Heat slowly to 820-840°C and allow it to be heated through. Quench in oil, brine or water.


Temper the EN9 steel component immediately after quenching whilst still hand warm. Re-heat to the tempering temperature then soak for one hour per 25 millimetre of total thickness (2 hours minimum) Cool in air. For most applications tempering of EN9 will be between 550-660°C.


We recommend you contact your welding consumables supplier who should provide you full assistance and information on welding EN9 steel.


Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each EN9 steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of EN9 carbon steel.


EN9 carbon steel is available with a cast and analysis certificate or a BS EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, please request when placing any orders.


EN9 is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001:2015 registration.
