EN 47
Grade Introduction:
En47 Spring Steel supplied in rolled condition. En47 Spring steel is suitable for oil hardening and tempering. When used in the oil hardened and tempered condition En47 spring steel combines spring characteristics with good wear and abrasion resistance. When hardened EN47 offers excellent toughness and shock resistance which make it a suitable alloy spring steel for parts exposed to stress, shock and vibration.
Grade Application:
EN47 spring steel is used widely in the motor vehicle industry and many general engineering applications. Suitable for applications that require high tensile strength and toughness. Typical applications include crankshafts, steering knuckles, gears, spindles and pumps.
Equivalent grades:
BS970 735A50 735A51 1.8159 AISI 6150 50CrV4 50CV4 ASTM A829
