What is 230M07 steel?

230M07 is the British Standard (BS 970) designation for a free-cutting, resulphurised low-carbon steel, closely equivalent to the grade most buyers call EN1A. In the BS 970 code, the letter "M" shows the steel is supplied to specified mechanical-property requirements, and the final "07" denotes a mean carbon content of about 0.07%.

What is 230M07 equivalent to?

230M07 is a BS 970 grade in its own right. The nearest grades in the major standards are listed below; they match on free-machinability and low carbon, but exact sulphur ranges and tramp-element limits differ between standards, so always confirm against the heat analysis on the MTC.

Can 230M07 be heat treated?

230M07 is not a through-hardening grade. With carbon capped at 0.15%, there is not enough carbon to develop useful hardness by quenching, so the steel is supplied and used in the soft, machinable condition. It can be carburised to add a hard, wear-resistant case where a component needs one; for a fully hardenable part, select a dedicated case-hardening grade such as 16MnCr5.

What sizes and forms of 230M07 are available?

Free-cutting steel is bought mainly as bright bar and hexagon, because the parts made from it are turned and threaded. Ambhe Ferro supplies 230M07 across the following forms and sizes; non-standard sizes are frequently available make-to-order. Bright BarsCold drawn / turned & polished, 22 – 63.5 mm. The primary 230M07 form for CNC and auto-lathe work. Hexagons23.5 – 52.5 mm across flats.
