Sahil Metals, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of specialized carbon steel materials tailored for high-performance engineering needs. One of their standout products is the **Carbon Steel EN‑45 Bars**, a high-carbon, silicon-manganese spring steel celebrated for its exceptional toughness, fatigue resistance, and flexibility. These bars are produced to stringent standards—including annealed, hardened, and tempered conditions—and are distributed throughout Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region for applications that demand strength, precision, and reliability. ([Vision Metalloys][1])
The **Carbon Steel EN‑45 Bars** boast a chemical composition that typically includes **0.50–0.60% carbon**, **0.70–1.00% manganese**, and **1.50–2.00% silicon**, along with trace amounts of chromium (up to ~0.25%) and a maximum of 0.05% for both phosphorus and sulfur ([Vision Metalloys][1], [Spring Steel Stock][2], [ASC Forgings][3]). When annealed, these bars achieve a hardness of about **200–250 HB**; after undergoing proper hardening and tempering, they can reach hardness levels of up to **600 HV** (approximately **45–52 HRC**), with tensile strength varying between **850–1100 N/mm²** ([Vision Metalloys][1], [ASC Forgings][3]).

EN-45 Bars and Rods are primarily used in automotive components like springs, shafts, and crankshafts, as well as in engineering tools and machinery parts requiring high strength and wear resistance.
EN-45 Bars and Rods offer excellent tensile strength (700-900 MPa), yield strength (450-600 MPa), and toughness, making them ideal for high-stress applications.
Yes, we offer customized Carbon Steel EN-45 Bars and Rods in various sizes and specifications to meet specific application needs.
**EN‑45 Bars** are widely used in high-stress, fatigue-critical components such as automotive leaf and coil springs, saw blades, knives, historical swords, railway parts, and shock-resistant machine tools ([Vision Metalloys][1], [Spring Steel Stock][2]). Their remarkable resilience and capacity to be heat-treated for both surface hardness and core toughness make them perfect for dynamic load applications where durable and flexible material performance is crucial.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
