 Alloy Steel EN41B / Tool Steel – Premium Nitriding Grade for High-Performance Applications

EN41B is a low-carbon alloy steel known for its exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and ductility—especially after undergoing nitriding. It’s a preferred material across various demanding industries where strength and surface hardness are critical. With excellent machinability and dimensional stability, EN41B is widely used for making high-performance components in power plants, oil & gas systems, heat exchangers, and structural applications.


Key Highlights

  • Excellent Surface Hardness & Wear Resistance – Achieves superior durability after nitriding, ideal for high-load and high-friction parts.

  • Toughness & Ductility – Maintains strength under stress, perfect for heavy-duty operations.

  • Versatile Applications – Suitable for oil & gas, chemical processing, food industry, heating, and water supply systems.

  • Forging Range – Can be forged between 850°C to 1200°C and cooled slowly to maintain integrity.

  • Nitridable Steel – Specially engineered for nitriding treatment for enhanced surface hardness and corrosion resistance.
