EN31 is a high-carbon, high-strength alloy steel known for its exceptional toughness, ductility, and wear resistance. Enriched with chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, EN31 undergoes hardening and tempering prior to delivery, making it a preferred choice for parts that demand superior tensile strength and shock resistance.
Its strong internal structure and surface hardness ensure outstanding performance under high stress, even in low-temperature conditions, while still being reliable in applications involving elevated heat.

EN31 requires careful heat treatment depending on the component’s size and application. Typical process:
Tempering Temperature: 150°C to 300°C, based on desired mechanical properties.
Soaking Time: Minimum 1 hour per 25mm of section thickness.
Cooling: Controlled air cooling is preferred post-tempering for uniform hardness.
Forging Temperature Range: 1000°C to 1050°C
Ensure the material is heated thoroughly and avoid forging below 850°C.
After forging, cool slowly in a furnace to minimize internal stresses and cracking.
Outer Diameter (OD): Up to 550mm
Inner Diameter (ID): Up to 400mm
