Steel Billets for Heavy Engineering
Heavy engineering shops forge large shafts, rings, discs and machine parts for plant and machinery. They start from the larger 200 and 250 mm blooms or the 200 mm round.
We supply steel billets for heavy engineering in alloy and carbon grades, as blooms up to 250 × 250 mm and 200 mm round, in lengths up to 12 metres.
Typical components
- Large shafts and spindles
- Rings and discs
- Press and mill parts
- Heavy gears and hubs
Recommended steel grades
EN24
A high strength, deep hardening steel with very good toughness, used where heavy sections must harden right through.
SAE 4340
A tough, high strength steel with excellent hardenability. Often chosen for heavy-duty, shock-loaded parts.
EN19
A widely used chrome-moly steel with good hardenability, toughness and fatigue strength in the quenched and tempered condition.
SAE 4140
The American-designation counterpart of EN19 and 42CrMo4. Strong, tough and easy to heat treat.
EN31
A high carbon, chromium steel that reaches very high hardness and wear resistance after hardening.
Choosing the billet
Tell us the finished weight and the strength class so a suitable section and grade can be recommended.
Check the billet size chart for sections and weight per metre, and use the weight calculator for any length.
