080A42 - Medium Carbon Steel
Surcharge Information
Due to the UK’s mostly commonly recognised surcharge mechanism no longer being openly published to the UK market we are unable to provide specific surcharge information on our website at this stage.
We are currently working with our suppliers to establish alternative mechanisms in order to provide a comprehensive and transparent view of global surcharge variations.
Look out for our improved surcharge pages appearing in the coming weeks.
Description
080A42 grade steel is a medium carbon steel capable of achieving moderate tensile strengths by normalising or quenching and tempering.
Machinability similar to that of mild steel can be expected, however weldability is reduced.
Size Range
32mm - 860mm Dia
Typical applications of 080A42 grade steel
- Axles
- Spindles
- Studs
- Automotive components
- General engineering components
080A42 steel is still often referred to as EN8D steel - its equivalent grade under the previous BS 970: 1955 standard.
