Sahil Metals, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, stands out as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch carbon steel products designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industries. One of their standout offerings is the **Carbon Steel EN‑44 Bars**, a medium- to high-carbon steel known for its impressive strength, wear resistance, and excellent heat treatment responsiveness. These bars are carefully crafted and available in various shapes—like round, square, or flat—making them perfect for precision engineering, automotive applications, and heavy machinery across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region.
The **EN‑44 Bars** boast a chemical makeup that generally includes **0.90% to 1.20% carbon**, about **0.30% silicon**, and **0.45% to 0.70% manganese**, while keeping phosphorus and sulfur levels below **0.05%** ([Marcus Metals][1], [Saaj Steel][2]). Thanks to its elevated carbon content, EN‑44 responds exceptionally well to heat treatment. When hardened and tempered, it can achieve Brinell hardness levels ranging from **45 to 50 HB**, showcasing its strong wear resistance and surface durability ([sachiyasteel.com][3]).

Yes, Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars can be heat-treated to improve mechanical properties such as strength and hardness. Common treatments include annealing, quenching, and tempering, depending on application requirements.
Carbon Steel EN-44 Bars are used in manufacturing automotive components, tools, and industrial equipment due to their excellent toughness, wear resistance, and high tensile strength, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Carbon Steel EN-44 Bar offers high tensile strength (~700-850 MPa), excellent toughness, good wear resistance, moderate ductility, and hardness (~230-290 HB), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
These **EN‑44 Bars** are particularly ideal for crafting components like springs, high-wear pins, taper shims, and parts for automatic machines that require both toughness and precise dimensions. The combination of hardness and machinability makes EN‑44 a go-to choice for applications that need reliable performance and a long service life, even under cyclic loading.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Sahil Metals is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality bars, rods, and forgings, catering to various industries in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
