High-performance EN 8 Sheet and Plates are the speciality of Luke Steel, a reputable manufacturer and supplier with headquarters in Houston, USA. The company provides reliable solutions for a variety of engineering and industrial applications. Medium carbon steel EN 8 is renowned for its exceptional strength, moderate wear resistance, and ease of machining. Luke Steel creates EN 8 sheets and plates that are perfect for applications requiring moderate mechanical stress because of their exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy. These plates are extensively utilised in structural frameworks, tooling, shafts, and automotive components where durability and dependability are crucial performance attributes.
Luke Steel’s EN 8 Sheets and Plates are mostly made of carbon (0.35–0.45%) and manganese (0.60–1.00%), with small amounts of silicon, sulphur, and phosphorus. This medium carbon steel has good toughness, moderate weldability (ideally post-heated), yield strength of 280–400 MPa, and tensile strength of 550–800 MPa. When normalised, EN 8 has outstanding machinability and can be heat-hardened for increased wear resistance. It is appropriate for components needing improved mechanical performance because it offers a good balance between strength, ductility, and cost-effectiveness.
