Exceptional Surface Hardness & ToughnessEN9 Induction Hardened Rods achieve a surface hardness of 50-55 HRC, providing outstanding wear resistance for high-impact and heavy-duty uses. Their high core toughness supports structural integrity, making them ideal for shafts and axles subjected to extreme stresses.
Superior Machinability and CustomizationBefore hardening, these rods offer good machinability, allowing precise manufacturing to suit detailed requirements. With customizable dimensions (diameter 10-200 mm; length 1-6 meters) and strict straightness and tolerance (H8/H9), the product fits custom machine designs effortlessly.
Enhanced Corrosion Protection OptionsThe EN9 rod comes with supplementary corrosion resistance, featuring optional chrome plating or black oxide finishes. This makes the rods highly durable, even in challenging industrial environments, and extends their service life by protecting against rust and oxidation.
FAQs of EN9 Induction Hardened Rod:
Q: How is the surface hardness of EN9 Induction Hardened Rods achieved?
A: The rods undergo an induction hardening process, where the surface is rapidly heated and quenched, resulting in a hardened layer with a hardness of 50-55 HRC, while the core retains its toughness.
Q: What are the main benefits of using EN9 Induction Hardened Rods in machinery?
A: These rods provide an exceptional combination of wear-resistant surfaces and high-impact toughness, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications in shafts, axles, and pins.
Q: When should I opt for optional chrome plating or black oxide coating on these rods?
A: Choose these optional coatings if your application exposes rods to corrosive environments, as the finishes provide enhanced resistance to rust and oxidation, thereby extending component lifespan.
Q: Where can EN9 Induction Hardened Rods be used?
A: They are widely used across industries such as automotive, engineering, and manufacturingparticularly in components requiring both high surface hardness and robust core strength.
Q: What is the typical process flow for machining and hardening these rods?
A: The rods are first machined to desired specifications in their softer state for better machinability. After shaping, they undergo induction hardening to achieve the required surface hardness.
Q: Can the rods be customized in terms of size and packaging?
A: Yes, they are available in diameters from 10 mm to 200 mm and lengths up to 6 meters, with standard export packaging or tailored options as per customer needs.
Q: What ensures the straightness and tolerance of EN9 rods?
A: Strict manufacturing controls keep straightness within 0.2 mm per meter and maintain H8/H9 tolerances or other specified requirements, ensuring reliable fitting and performance in precision assemblies.
