EN 1.0536 (E470) Non-Alloy Steel
EN 1.0536 steel is a carbon (non-alloy) steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. 1.0536 is the EN numeric designation for this material. E470 is the EN chemical designation.
It has a very high embodied energy and a fairly high tensile strength among wrought carbon or non-alloy steels.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare EN 1.0536 steel to: wrought carbon or non-alloy steels (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
