COMMENT

In the constantly changing panorama of materials engineering, choosing the right steel alloy can be a tough task. However, for those looking for a versatile, high-performance option, the Steel Alloy EN39 (AISI 9840) is an ideal candidate. In this short review, we will explore the key strengths and potential drawbacks of this alloy, comparing it with some of its competitors, to demonstrate the reason why it could be the perfect choice for your next project.

 

Pros

Outstanding Strength: EN39 Steel offers an impressive combination of tensile strength, yield strength and hardness. This high-performance alloy is suitable for challenging applications, including gears, axles and heavy-duty machinery parts.

Excellent Toughness: The toughness of the alloy ensures its ability to withstand significant impact and breakage, making it suitable for dynamic loading conditions and fatigue-prone applications.

Higher Hardenability: EN39 has excellent hardenability, enabling uniform hardness throughout the material, even in massive cross-sections, which can be a challenge for other steel alloys.

Easy Machinability: Despite its high strength, EN39 is relatively easy to machine, allowing efficient and economical production processes.

Good Wear Resistance: Due to its combination of hardness and toughness, EN39 Steel offers excellent wear resistance, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and parts replacement.

 

Cons

Moderate Weldability: Although EN39 offers numerous advantages, its weldability is moderate compared to other steel alloys. Preheating and post-welding stress relieving measures are required to avoid cracking and maintain the desired properties of the alloy.

Potential for Corrosion: EN39 is not intrinsically corrosion resistant, which may require additional surface treatments such as varnishing, galvanising or coating to protect it from harsh environments.

 

Comparison with other steel alloys

Compared to AISI 4140, EN39 has similar mechanical properties, but with higher toughness. However, AISI 4140 has a slight advantage in terms of weldability and is more readily available on the market.

Compared to AISI 4340, EN39 offers better machinability and comparable strength. However, AISI 4340 offers better overall corrosion resistance and higher fatigue strength.

Compared to AISI 1045, EN39 offers superior strength, toughness and wear resistance. On the other hand, AISI 1045 boasts better weldability and is generally cheaper.
