Detailed Information

Manufacturer & Supplier of EN26 Alloy Steel in Mumbai, India

EN26 is a 2.5 percent nickel, chromium, and molybdenum high hardenability, high tensile steel that is typically hardened and tempered in the tensile range of 1000 to 1150 Mpa (Condition V) Rc 31 to 38. High strength and toughness in large sections – similar to EN25 but with larger carbon content, making it particularly suitable for areas with high surface pressure.

EN26 can be flame or induction hardened, as well as nitrided, once it has been pre-hardened and tempered.

EN26 is widely utilized in a wide range of industries for applications requiring greater tensile and yield strength than 4140, 4340, or EN25 can give.

Axles, Connecting Rods, Die Holders, Hydraulic Shafts, Spindles, Motor Shafts, Pins, Rams, Rolls, Sockets, Tool Holders, Torsion Bars, and so on are examples of typical applications.

Lakshya International is a leading Alloy Steel manufacturer in India, We provide the best en26 Steel Round bar.

Forging
Heat to 1150 oC – 1200 oC maximum, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, and commence forging immediately.Do not forge below 850 oC. Following forging operation the work piece should be cooled as slowly as possible in sand or dry lime etc..
Heat Treatment
Annealing
Heat to 790 oC – 840 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, and cool in the furnace.
Flame or Induction Hardening
EN26 hardened and tempered bar can be further surface hardened by either the flame or induction hardening methods resulting in a case hardness in excess of Rc 50. Parts should be heated as quickly as possible to the austenitic temperature range (820 oC – 850 oC) and required case depth followed by an immediate oil or water quench, depending upon hardness required, workpiece size/shape, and quenching arrangements. Following quenching to hand warm, most components should be tempered between 150 oC – 200 oC to remove quenching stresses in the case. This will have little effect on case hardness.
Hardening
Heat to 820 oC – 850 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 10 – 15 minutes per 25 mm section, and quench in oil, water, or polymer as required.*Temper immediately while still hand warm.
Nitriding
EN26 hardened and tempered bar can also be successfully nitrided, giving a surface hardness of up to Rc 60. Nitriding is carried out at 490 oC – 530 oC, followed by slow cooling (no quench) reducing the problem of distortion. Parts can therefore be machined to near final size, leaving a grinding allowance only. The tensile strength of the core is usually not affected since the nitriding temperature range is generally below the original tempering temperature employed.N.B. Nickel is inert to the action of nitrogen and in general resists its diffusion into steel, and this can result in a lower case hardness or longer nitriding cycle times for steels containing nickel such as EN26.
Stress Relieving
Heat to 640 oC – 660 oC, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25 mm section, and cool in still air.
Tempering
Re-heat to 450 oC – 660 oC as required, hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section, soak for 1 hour per 25 mm of section, and cool in still air.N.B.Tempering should be avoided if possible within the range 250 oC – 450 oC due to temper brittleness.
Notes on Heat Treatment
Heating temperatures, rate of heating, cooling, and soaking times will vary due to factors such as work piece size/shape also furnace type employed, quenching medium, work piece transfer facilities, etc..Please consult your heat treater for the best results.
Machining
EN26 in the hardened and tempered as the supplied condition is still regarded as being readily machinable and operations such as turning and drilling etc. can be carried out satisfactorily using machine manufacturers, recommendations for suitable tool type – feeds, and speeds.
Welding
Welding of EN26 in the hardened and tempered condition (as normally supplied), is not recommended and should be avoided if at all possible, as the mechanical properties will be altered within the weld heat-affected zone. It is preferred that welding be carried out on EN26 while in the annealed condition and that the work piece, immediately on cooling to hand warm, is then stress relieved at 640 oC – 660 oC prior to hardening and tempering. If welding in the hardened and tempered condition is really necessary, then the work piece, immediately on cooling to hand warm, should be stress relieved at 15 oC below the original tempering temperature.
Welding Procedure
Welding of EN26 in whatever condition should always be carried out using low hydrogen electrodes – please consult your welding consumables supplier.
Suggested pre-heat temperature
Section			25 mm	40 mm	50 mm	75 mm	150 mm	200 mm +
oC			370	400	425	455	510	550
Post Welding
Maximum cooling rate 95 oC per hour down to 95 oC, followed by cooling in still air.N.B. No draught. It is recommended that the workpiece if possible is wrapped in a heat-resistant blanket or buried in sand etc..
