EN24 forged rounds in annealed condition are high-tensile alloy steel bars used for demanding applications where toughness, fatigue strength, and wear resistance are critical. Supplied in the annealed condition, these bars are ideal for further processing like machining and heat treatment (hardening & tempering).
At Steelmet Industries, we offer EN24 forged bars in a wide range of diameters, including non-standard sizes, with the flexibility of custom lengths and optional documentation support for critical applications.
