Brian Fasteners produces and exports Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars from Houston, an alloy steel with chromium–vanadium additions to increase hardness and fatigue strength. EN-44 is oil-hardenable and widely applied in mechanical and power transmission applications. With BS 970 and ASTM certification, our EN‑44 bars are precision-engineered and ready for machining, forging, or finishing procedures that meet industrial specifications.
EN-44 contains ~0.43–0.50% carbon, ~1.00–1.30% manganese, 0.20–0.40% chromium, and 0.02–0.10% vanadium. When oil-hardened and tempered, tensile strength can be over 850 MPa, yield strength being approximately 550–650 MPa. Provides great wear resistance, fatigue strength, and toughness even in thinner sections.

Yes, Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars can be heat-treated to improve mechanical properties such as strength and hardness. Common treatments include annealing, quenching, and tempering, depending on application requirements.
Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars are used in manufacturing automotive components, tools, and industrial equipment due to their excellent toughness, wear resistance, and high tensile strength, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Carbon Steel EN-44 Bar offers high tensile strength (~700-850 MPa), excellent toughness, good wear resistance, moderate ductility, and hardness (~230-290 HB), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
EN-44 bars are employed in gear shafts, splined shafts, crankshafts, heavy pins, and couplings and are best for power transmission. Also employed in safety-critical mechanical components, including spindles, hydraulic rams, and heavy fasteners. Brian Fasteners supplies fully certified EN‑44 bars for heavy engineering applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
