Thabiso Steel stands out as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Carbon Steel EN-351 Bars right in Cape Town, South Africa. We take pride in offering top-notch alloy steel bars that are specifically crafted for heavy engineering and high-performance industrial uses. Our EN-351 Bars are well-known for their remarkable strength, toughness, and wear resistance, making them perfect for creating essential mechanical components like shafts, gears, and crankshafts. At Thabiso Steel, we prioritize precision manufacturing, rigorous quality control, and consistent dimensional accuracy, ensuring that our bars deliver dependable performance and a long service life, even in the toughest operating conditions.
Our Carbon Steel EN-351 Bars are produced from a low-alloy steel, with a carefully balanced mix of carbon, manganese, chromium, and nickel to achieve impressive tensile strength, hardness, and impact resistance. These bars typically boast tensile strengths between 850 and 1000 MPa, along with excellent fatigue resistance. Thanks to their uniform microstructure, they offer consistent mechanical properties, good machinability, and are well-suited for heat treatment, forging, and precision fabrication into high-stress industrial components.
