EN24 Rolled Rounds – Medium Alloy Steel Bars with High Strength and Toughness

EN24, designated under BS970:1955, is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel with exceptional mechanical properties. It offers a rare combination of high tensile strength, shock resistance, wear resistance, and good ductility. Rolled rounds of EN24 are ideal for high-stress applications such as shafts, gears, spindles, and automotive components.

At Steelmet Industries, we offer EN24 rolled round bars in a wide size range from 16mm to 150mm diameter, with options in as-rolled, annealed, or machinable condition, ready for further processing or heat treatment.


Key Characteristics of EN24 Rolled Rounds

  • Standard: BS970:1955

  • Grade: EN24

  • Composition: Ni 1.3–1.7%, Cr 0.9–1.4%, Mo 0.2–0.35%, C 0.36–0.44%

  • Condition Offered: As rolled, softened, or rough machined

  • Machinability: Good in softened or normalized condition

  • Heat Treatable: Yes – widely used in quenched & tempered condition

  • Corrosion Resistance: Better than carbon steels but not stainless


Applications of EN24 Rolled Round Bars

Due to its strength and toughness, EN24 rolled rounds are widely used in:

  • Automotive & Transportation: Crankshafts, propeller shafts, half shafts, axles

  • Mechanical Engineering: Gears, bolts, connecting rods, spindles, couplings

  • Construction Equipment: Rollers, pins, bushes

  • Tooling: Mandrels, collets, dies

  • Aerospace (non-critical parts): Landing gear components, actuators

Frequently Asked Questions about EN24 Rolled Rounds

Q1: Is EN24 good for hardening?

A: Yes. EN24 responds well to hardening via quenching and tempering, making it suitable for components under high stress or wear.

Q2: What’s the difference between EN24 and SAE 4340?

A: SAE 4340 is the American equivalent of EN24. Both offer similar strength and toughness, but availability and minor chemistry tweaks can differ.

Q3: Are EN24 rolled bars supplied in machinable condition?

A: Yes. We supply EN24 in annealed or normalized & tempered form, ready for machining or further heat treatment.

Q4: Do you offer lengths customized as per the customer’s needs?

A: Yes. We offer custom cut lengths and can also provide chamfered ends for ready-to-use material.

Q5: Are third-party inspections and reports available?

A: Absolutely. With prior arrangement, Steelmet can provide NABL lab tests, customer-nominated third-party inspection, and comprehensive dispatch documentation.
