Effect of Increased Sulphur in EN24 grade steel
EN24 is a high-strength, low-alloy steel (equivalent to 4340) known for its toughness, wear resistance, and good mechanical properties. It typically contains 0.35–0.45% Carbon, 1.3–1.8% Nickel, 0.45–0.7% Chromium, 0.2–0.35% Molybdenum, and very low Sulphur (S) and Phosphorus (P) levels (usually below 0.04%). Effect of Increased Sulphur in EN24: Recommended Sulphur Content: For general applications, Sulphur […]
