Product Overview
EN 24 (4340 Equivalent) threaded rods are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from EN 24 (AISI 4340) bar stock, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy renowned for its exceptional toughness and fatigue resistance. These rods are supplied in the quenched and tempered condition, delivering tensile strengths up to 1080 MPa and superior impact properties, making them ideal for critical bolted joints subjected to dynamic loads.
EN 24 threaded rods are widely specified for heavy-duty mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and high-stress applications in automotive, aerospace, and general engineering sectors. Their through-hardening capability and uniform mechanical properties across large diameters set them apart from standard carbon steel rods.
