EN1A Leaded and Non-Leaded – Carbon Steel
Grade Introduction:
EN1A is a very popular grade of low carbon-manganese free cutting steel, which is most suitable for the manufacture of repetition turned components, such as nuts, bolts, hydraulic fittings, and studs, particularly where intricate drilling and machining operations are involved.
It can be case-hardened, producing components with enhanced wear resistance. En1a is also available as En1a leaded (En1aPb) for greater machinability. Swarf will form in small chips to prevent machine blockage.
EN1a Non-Leaded steel is a Re-Sulphurised Free-Machining Steel. This is a premium grade of free-cutting steel. It has excellent machinability. It is suitable for case hardening and electroplating. We can provide you with free cutting steel both in the black and bright cold drawn bar form.
Grade Application
En1a steels are suitable for applications where good machinability is the prime consideration. Because of this, they are used for the rapid production on single or multiple spindle automatic lathes and capstan lathes of finely finished components that will not be subjected to high stresses in service, e.g. light duty studs, cycle components, and many intricate parts for textile and printing machinery. This type of steel cannot be relied upon to possess good transverse properties and should not be used for hollow parts which might be subjected to an internal pressure that would set up wall stresses dangerously near to the transverse yield stress. Case hardening can be carried out but this steel Is not recommended for general case hardening work and it is not intended for use where the hardened case is subject to severe impact in service.

Heat Treatment
- Carbonization of EN1A bright mild steel takes place at 900-950 o C then it is a furnace or air-cooled.
- En1A can be tempered at 180-210 o C then should be left to cool in the air.
- The mild steel can be hardened at 780-800 o C then quenched in oil or water. However, this is difficult to do with EN1A and is not recommended.
Hardness

Tempering
En1A can be tempered at 180-210 oC then should be left to cool in the air.
Welding
Welding is not recommended due to high sulfur and lead content.
