Yousef Steel is a well-respected manufacturer and supplier of Carbon Steel EN-42 Bars, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The company has built a solid reputation for its dedication to quality and engineering excellence, offering high-performance EN-42 bars that comply with international standards for strength and durability. These bars are a go-to choice in demanding industrial settings, thanks to their impressive hardness, wear resistance, and machinability. Catering to sectors like automotive, tooling, construction, and machinery manufacturing, Yousef Steel prides itself on timely deliveries, competitive pricing, and outstanding customer service, making it a top pick for carbon steel bar solutions not just in Saudi Arabia, but beyond.
When it comes to composition, Carbon Steel EN-42 Bars are primarily made up of high carbon content (around 0.70–0.90%), along with trace elements such as manganese, silicon, and phosphorus. This unique blend gives them remarkable hardness and wear resistance. Typically, EN-42 bars boast a tensile strength ranging from 700 to 850 MPa and a yield strength of about 400–500 MPa, with Brinell hardness values between 200 and 250 HB. To boost their mechanical performance, these bars are often heat-treated or cold-drawn, making them perfect for applications that demand strength, toughness, and resistance to wear and fatigue.
