Brian Fasteners distributes Carbon Steel EN-45 Bars from Houston, an engineering steel with high tensile strength medium carbon, heat treated for structure and mechanics purposes. EN-45 bars are to BS 970 and ASTM specifications with mill test certification and traceability of material. With tight tolerance specifications and quality assurance, we offer consistent stock for parts requiring high tensile strength and wear resistance.
EN-45 has ~0.44–0.54% carbon, 0.60–0.90% manganese, with small amounts of P and S. Its tensile strength after hardening and tempering is approximately 700–850 MPa, while its yield strength is approximately 450–600 MPa. It possesses good wear resistance, fatigue life, and moderate ductility.

EN-45 Bars and Rods are primarily used in automotive components like springs, shafts, and crankshafts, as well as in engineering tools and machinery parts requiring high strength and wear resistance.
EN-45 Bars and Rods offer excellent tensile strength (700-900 MPa), yield strength (450-600 MPa), and toughness, making them ideal for high-stress applications.
Yes, we offer customized Carbon Steel EN-45 Bars and Rods in various sizes and specifications to meet specific application needs.
EN-45 bars are applied in axles, shafts, gears, bushes, dowels, and fasteners where there is a need for strength and wear resistance. Suitable for clutch shafts, machine tool components, cam followers, and intermediate shafting. Brian Fasteners supplies cut-to-length and heat-treated EN-45 bars to the mechanical engineering, agricultural, and automotive markets.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
