General information

EN 24 (817M40 / 34CrNiMo6) is a high-tensile through-hardening nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. We stock it annealed (Ø16–100 mm) and as-rolled (Ø105–205 mm); hardened and tempered EN24T is supplied against orders of 3–5 tons. It combines very high strength with excellent toughness, ductility and fatigue resistance, and its high hardenability lets it develop uniform properties even in large sections. It is a standard choice for heavily loaded, safety-critical components.

Chemical composition

Weight %, balance iron. Left: what we actually supply. Right: the international standard, for reference. The mill range is slightly wider than 817M40 for carbon, chromium, nickel, phosphorus and sulphur; the recent heat we checked sits inside the BS 970 limits. If your drawing calls for the strict standard, mention it in your enquiry. Every dispatch comes with the mill test certificate for its heat.

Hardenability & tempering response

Indicative curves from published band data (EN 10083-3), for a reference oil quench of 850 °C. EN 24 is a deep-hardening grade, so the Jominy band stays high across the bar.
