EN8 Bright Mild Steel Square Bar 12.7mm Self Colour - Excellent Weldability & Machinability, 1.28kg/M, Poor Corrosion Resistance, Linear Metre

The EN8 Bright Mild Steel Square Bar with a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) dimension is a versatile and robust material suitable for a variety of applications. Its excellent weldability and machinability make it an ideal choice for construction, manufacturing, and engineering projects. However, due to its poor corrosion resistance, it requires appropriate protective measures when used in corrosive environments.

• Material: Mild Steel is Known for its low carbon content, providing a good balance of strength, ductility, and ease of fabrication.

• Dimensions:

  • Size Metric: 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) for height, thickness, and width, making it suitable for medium-duty applications.

• Formability: Although not explicitly mentioned, mild steel typically has good formability, allowing it to be easily shaped and formed.

• Weldability: Rated as excellent, indicating that the material can be readily welded using standard welding techniques to create strong and durable joints.

• Machinability: Rated as excellent, signifying that the material can be easily machined to precise dimensions and finishes, making it suitable for manufacturing components that require high precision.

• Corrosion Resistance: Rated as poor, meaning the material is prone to rust and corrosion if not protected. It requires appropriate coatings or regular maintenance to prevent degradation in corrosive environments.

• Finish: The natural finish of the steel without any additional surface treatment, often requiring further finishing processes depending on the application.

• Weight: With a weight per metre of 1.28 kg, the square bar provides a substantial mass suitable for structural and load-bearing applications.#
