Carbon Steel EN-44 is a medium carbon alloy steel that typically contains about 0.40–0.50% carbon, along with 0.70–1.00% manganese and other trace elements. It boasts high tensile strength ranging from 700–850 MPa and good toughness, particularly after undergoing heat treatment. EN-44 is known for its excellent fatigue resistance and responds well to hardening and tempering processes. It offers moderate weldability and machinability when in its annealed state. This steel is crafted for applications where components face repeated impacts or cyclic stress, maintaining structural integrity even in harsh working conditions.
