We manufacture forging ingots, billets, and blooms in alloy steel specifically for EN2A, tailored for general engineering and low-stress applications. EN2A is a low carbon mild steel known for its excellent machinability, good formability, and adequate strength for light duty applications. Due to its low carbon content, EN2A offers good toughness and is ideal for components that do not require high hardness or heavy load-bearing capacity. It is widely used in general engineering, fabrication, and automotive parts where easy machining and cost effectiveness are key requirements.
| Element | Content (%) | Function / effect |
| Carbon (c) | 0.12 max | Provides basic strength and excellent machinability |
| Manganese (mn) | 0.50 max | Improves toughness and slight hardenability |
| Sulfur (s) | Max 0.05 | Enhances machinability; controlled to prevent brittleness |
| Phosphorus (p) | Max 0.05 | Improves machinability; excess may reduce toughness |
| Silicon (si) | Low / trace | Acts as deoxidizer and slightly increases strength |
(typical values, may vary based on heat treatment and manufacturing conditions)
EN2A is the ideal choice for applications requiring easy machinability, good toughness, and economical cost. Its low carbon content ensures excellent formability and weldability, making it suitable for a wide range of general engineering and fabrication uses.
| Grade | Carbon (%) | Key applications | Heat treatment | Comments |
| EN2A | 0.12 max | Bolts, shafts, machined parts | Annealing / normalizing | Excellent machinability |
| Aisi 1010 | 0.08 – 0.13 | General engineering parts | Annealing | American equivalent |
| C10 | 0.08 – 0.12 | Fabrication components | As-rolled | European equivalent |
EN2A is a low carbon mild steel designed for general engineering and light duty applications. It provides good machinability, formability, and cost effectiveness for components operating under low to moderate stress conditions.
