EN3B (080A15) Bright Mild Steel
The term mild steel applies to all low carbon steel that
does not contain any alloying elements in its makeup and has a carbon content
that does not exceed 0.25%. The term “mild” is used to cover a wide range of
specifications and forms for a variety of steel. Mild steel is used in
mechanical engineering applications for parts that will not be subject to high
stress. When in its bright cold drawn condition, the steel can endure higher
levels of stress, particularly on smaller diameters. Compared to normal mild
steel, bright mild steel provides tighter sectional tolerances, increased
straightness, and a much cleaner surface. The main advantage of cold drawn
steel is that steel can be bought closer to the finished machine size,
providing reduces machining costs. Another benefit of bright steel bars is a
marked increase in physical strength over hot rolled bars of the same section.
EN3B (080A15) is a general-purpose low carbon steel for
machining, suitable for lightly stressed components including shafts, studs,
bolts and gears. Often specified where weld ability is a requirement. EN3B can
be case hardened to improve wear resistance.
