Hemi Metals, based in the industrious heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, stands as a trusted local partner for quality steel solutions. We take pride in manufacturing and supplying Carbon Steel EN-45 Bars, a high-grade material renowned for its exceptional performance. Our commitment lies in delivering a product that combines reliability with the toughness needed for demanding applications, ensuring our clients receive consistent quality backed by genuine Kiwi expertise and service.
Carbon Steel EN-45 is specifically engineered as a high-carbon spring steel. It features a carefully balanced composition that includes significant levels of silicon and manganese, which works to give the steel its characteristic strength. This blend contributes directly to its excellent mechanical properties, primarily a high tensile strength and impressive yield point. These attributes are precisely what make it so suitable for components that must endure repeated stress and flexing without losing their shape.

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.
The remarkable resilience of EN-45 Bars makes them the go-to choice for a wide array of critical components. They are famously used in the manufacture of high-stress items like leaf and coil springs for the automotive and transportation industries. Beyond that, you’ll find this steel in heavy-duty springs, agricultural tools, and various construction parts where a combination of strength and a certain level of flexibility is non-negotiable. It’s the backbone of many machines that require dependable, long-lasting performance under pressure.
