EN8 Black Flats, Squares and Rounds - Parva Bright Steels Pune

EN8 Black Flats, Squares & Rounds

Parva Bright Steels is a foremost dealer and stockist of EN8 Black Steel Bars (conforming to BS 970 080M40 / AISI 1045 / DIN C45 / IS 45C8) based in Bhosari MIDC, Pune. Supplied in hot-rolled or forged condition with natural protective mill scale, EN8 Black is a premier medium carbon unalloyed engineering steel delivering high tensile strength, excellent toughness, and uniform response to heat treatment.

EN8 Black is significantly stronger than mild steel and offers exceptional machinability once the mill skin is faced off. It is widely chosen by forging units, tool and die makers, CNC machine shops, and heavy engineering fabricators for producing heavy-duty transmission shafts, gears, axle spindles, connecting rods, die blocks, and guide columns across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad manufacturing sectors.

Key Features & Industrial Applications

  • Cost-Effective Engineering Steel: Delivers high structural strength and wear resistance at a fraction of the cost of alloy steels.
  • Versatile Heat Treatment: Readily normalized to refine grain structure, quenched and tempered for core toughness, or induction surface hardened to 50–55 HRC.
  • Excellent Machining Performance: Excellent chip formation and surface finish when turned, bored, milled, or drilled after initial skin pass.
  • Typical Applications: Automotive crankshafts, axle shafts, steering spindles, conveyor drive rollers, press tool bolster plates, heavy machine columns, gears, coupling hubs, sprockets, and drop forgings.
