Sahil Metals, located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of top-notch carbon steel products designed for strength and precision. Among their standout offerings are **Carbon Steel EN‑42 Bars and Rods**, a medium-carbon steel grade known for its impressive tensile strength, balanced toughness, and reliable wear resistance. These bars and rods are meticulously crafted and supplied according to international standards, serving industries throughout Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region.
**EN‑42 Bars and Rods** generally contain carbon levels between **0.38–0.43%**, along with **0.60–0.90% manganese**, **0.10–0.35% silicon**, and up to **0.30% chromium**—with phosphorus and sulfur each capped at **0.035% max** ([Vision Metalloys][1], [Jaxon Steel][2]). When quenched and tempered, these bars showcase a tensile strength of around **600–800 MPa**, yield strength of **350–500 MPa**, and a Brinell hardness range of **170–230 HB** ([Vision Metalloys][1]). They also boast a commendable elongation rate of **14–18%**, highlighting their blend of flexibility and mechanical strength ([Vision Metalloys][1]).
