605M36 Alloy Steel

Known as a commercially popular ‘all-rounder’, EN16 (605M36T) is a low alloyed manganese-molybdenum through-hardening steel. Offering high strength and tensile characteristics, EN16 displays similar mechanical properties to EN8 but benefits from improved frictional wear, shear loading and shock resistance. EN16 is considered to be a viable alternative to other steel specifications containing chromium and nickel. EN16 (605M36T) also offers excellent ductility and is readily machinable. The equivalent British specification for EN16 is 605M36T
