EN25 is a 2.5% nickel - chromium - molybdenum high hardenability, high tensile
steel,
generally supplied hardened and tempered in the tensile range 930 - 1080 Mpa (Condition U)
Rc 28 - 36.
Characterised by high strength and toughness in very large sections - similar to EN26 but
with lower carbon content.
Pre hardened and tempered EN25 can be further surface hardened by flame or induction
hardening, and by nitriding.
EN25 is used extensively in most industry sectors for applications requiring higher tensile
and yield strength than 4140 can provide
Typical uses are: Adapters, Axles, Connecting Rods, Die Holders, Drill Shanks, Ejector Rods,
Hydraulic Clamps, Jack Shafts, Line Shafts, Motor Shafts, Nuts, Pins, Piston Rods, Pump
Shafts, Rams, Spindles, Torsion Bars Winch Gears etc.
