EN 10083-2 C45E is a medium carbon non-alloy steel grade designed for applications requiring high strength, good toughness, and reliable performance with enhanced chemical quality. With a nominal carbon content of around 0.45% and controlled phosphorus and sulphur levels (E quality), C45E steel provides more consistent mechanical properties and improved reliability compared to standard C45 grades. Supplied in bar form, EN 10083-2 C45E steel is widely used in demanding mechanical and engineering applications. This grade is manufactured in accordance with EN 10083-2, which specifies technical delivery conditions for quenched and tempered steels. Ladhani Metal Corporation is a reliable manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of EN 10083-2 C45E steel bars. Our materials are sourced from approved mills and supplied with controlled chemical composition, consistent mechanical properties, and precise dimensional accuracy as per EN 10083-2 requirements. Forms of Supply (as per grade): Black round bar, bright round bar, peeled bar, hex bar, square bar, flat bar, forged bar Explanation of Designation (C45E): • C – Carbon steel • 45 – Approx. 0.45% carbon content • E – Special quality steel with controlled phosphorus and sulphur content Chemical Composition (% – typical limits): • Carbon (C): 0.42 – 0.50 • Manganese (Mn): 0.50 – 0.80 • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.40 • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025 • Sulphur (S): ≤ 0.025 Mechanical Properties (Typical, normalized / quenched & tempered): • Tensile Strength: 620 – 800 MPa • Yield Strength: ≥ 355 MPa • Elongation: ≥ 14% • Hardness: 190 – 230 HB (can be increased by heat treatment) Key Features: • Medium carbon steel with improved quality consistency • High strength and hardness with good toughness • Excellent response to quenching and tempering • Good machinability in normalized condition • Suitable for precision and load-bearing components Material Characteristics: EN 10083-2 C45E steel bar provides a strong combination of strength, toughness, and wear resistance with enhanced purity levels. Its medium carbon content enables effective heat treatment to achieve increased hardness and tensile strength, making it ideal for heavily stressed and precision-engineered components. Applications: • Shafts, axles, and crankshafts • Gears, pins, and keys • High-strength bolts and studs • Forged and machined components • Automotive and general engineering parts Conclusion: Ladhani Metal Corporation supplies high-quality EN 10083-2 C45E steel bars in various industrial bar forms with consistent quality and dependable performance. With controlled chemistry, excellent heat-treatability, and wide industrial usability, C45E steel bars are a reliable choice for demanding engineering and mechanical applications.
