EN16 (605M36) is a high-tensile engineering steel we supply for motorsport applications.

---

Our alloy steel benefits from high tensile strength, excellent toughness, good ductility and impressive machinability.

About EN16:

EN16 steel is also known under equivalent specifications 605M36 and SAE 4135. Mechanical property enhancements are due to the inclusion of chromium, nickel and molybdenum. EN16 offers good resistance to fatigue and wear, and the chosen heat treatment determines the resulting tensile strength. Good ductility makes the alloy easy to machine, and the material is highly suitable for applications requiring high strength and toughness.

Strength:

EN16 (605M36) benefits from high tensile strength, which is dictated by the heat treatment condition and material diameter. In the normalised and tempered delivery condition, EN16 has a typical tensile strength of 850 to 1000 MPa (when heat-treated to a hardness of around 230 to 280 Brinell and subsequently tempered).

Motorsport Applications:

EN16 is a highly versatile engineering steel utilised throughout industry, and motorsport is no exception. Typical motorsport applications include gears, axles, con rods, shafts, crankshafts and anti-roll bars.
